context_page_description: 10,000 BC is a 2008 American epic action-adventure film directed by Roland Emmerich, starring Steven Strait and Camilla Belle. The film is set in the prehistoric era and depicts the journeys of a prehistoric tribe of mammoth hunters. The world premiere was held on February 10, 2008 at Sony Center on Potsdamer Platz in Berlin.
  The film was a box office hit, but consistently regarded by professional critics as Emmerich's worst film, as well as one of the worst films of the year.
context_section_description: The film received largely negative reviews from critics. Critics noted that the film is archaeologically inaccurate and contains many factual errors and anachronisms. As of 16 December 2014, the review aggregator at Rotten Tomatoes has reported that 8% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 147 reviews. The site's consensus states: "With attention strictly paid to style instead of substance, or historical accuracy, 10,000 BC is a visually impressive but narratively flimsy epic." Metacritic gave the film a weighted average score of 34 out of 100, based on 29 reviews. Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade C.
  Todd McCarthy of Variety wrote: "Conventional where it should be bold and mild where it should be wild, 10,000 BC reps a missed opportunity to present an imaginative vision of a prehistoric moment." Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian wrote: "Roland Emmerich's great big CGI blockbuster lumbers along like one of the woolly mammoths that roam across the screen."
  Composer Thomas Wander won a BMI Film Music Award for his work on the film.
