yo, grok ... check out the pretty pictures, dude
the only good movie ever set in prehistoric times (unless you count the opening 15 minutes of "2001"). i watched this in a movie theater with my ex when it came out, and we were -- how shall i put this? -- in a slightly altered state of consciousness. i really enjoyed it, but was trepidatious about seeing it again, and not flying. surprisingly, the movie holds up, although many of its pretensions wear on a soul after nearly two hours. still, its funny and proffers some valid theories about cultural growth. i especially like that the different tribes have developed highly different ethical and behaviora values -- tho of course the dramatic requirements ignore the near-impossibility of neighboring groups being so radically diverse. still, worth seeing. and if you care to indulge, youll probably grant it a 4th star ...
