10,000 B.C. DVD

Advantages: Visually Stunning.
Disadvantages: Same old Same.

...10,000 BC. This will be a short review which is what this film deserves. From the director of 'Independence Day' and 'The Day After Tomorrow' comes a film that is visually stunning. The film starts with D'Leh as a young boy, when hunters return having found a young girl with blue eyes, Evolet The witch of the village predicts that soon Warlords will come and attack the village. She also forcasts that the man, who the blue eyed girl choses as her husband, will save the village. Evolet is taken by the warlords and D'Leh sets off on a quest that will involve love, honour, spirits, adventure, death, redemption and salvation. Oh and along the way he will pick up an army. The acting is not the best, but I suppose playing someone just above a caveman doesn't need Noel Coward. The commentary that comes at intervals is accented... Read review

.... As long as it makes for a dramatic picture, who cares? The shear force of a Richter 10 or larger earthquake could possibly be felt clear across the continent of America. The Richter scale is a way of measuring earthquakes. We will have heard it mentioned on news programmes. But do we really understand what it means? Let's put that in some sort of perspective. The scale is logarithmic. That means that a 1 is ten times more powerful than a 0 and so on up the scale. So a Richter 6 is equivalent to a one megaton explosion. 1 mega ton is 1,000,000 metric tons of TNT. A Richter 10 is about 1,000,000 times larger, 1 Teraton or 1,000,000,000,000 metric tons of TNT. The Nagasaki nuclear bomb was only a Richter 5 or 32 kilotons and even the 2004 Indian ocean seaquake was a Richter 9 or 32 gigatons. By comparison Chernobyl was only Richter 3.5 or 178...

...question is introduced by Tarrant, whose face then freeze-frames as the question is brought up. Some of the shots freeze-frame at rather interesting moments and this can leave you with a slightly haunting image. The easy questions (up to the £1000 level) simply appear on screen without the question being read out. Each player gets a different question and players take it in turns to select A, B, C or D with the remote control (using the left/right and up/down arrows). It really is terribly intuitive. For the next set of questions, up to £32,000 there is a little more interaction, with sound clips of "Are you sure?", "Is one answer more appealing?" and so on being played. There is also audio with the questions. It is at this point that you are most likely to want or need to use your lifelines. The three standard lifelines are available... Read review
