Rating: 4.0
A noble attempt to capture the far distant past
Different primitive tribes interact 80,000 years ago trying to keep their fire alive so they don't freeze and starve.Visually stunning, and ultimately somewhat moving. But somehow, although it's very well done, it's hard to forget you're watching a movie.I found myself falling out of the story and thinking about what a great technical job they did making these actors look and sound like cave people, ratherthan being caught up in their situation. Also, the score can also be over the top at times.Still, ambitious, original and interesting (if scientifically dubious at moments).
