Just seen a trailer for Roland Emmerich's new super spangly adventure blockbuster 10,000 BC, there's not much to glean from the slick fast paced trailer other than that it looks like Apocalypto meets King Kong with a Flintstones-esque disregard for paleontological integrity and just plain common sense but with cool heart pounding cgi monsters and chase/fight scenes that im sure none of us will have ever seen anything like before, unless you've you seen King Kong, or Walking With Dinosaurs, or that bit from LOST with the polar bear or The Chronicles of Narnia or....... or indeed films such as Conan or the Skorpion King which deal with early civilisation/magic in an ancient possibly made up (like anyone really gives a damn) diaspora with evil kings fighting heroic warriors who are just trying save their tribes from extinction against a backdrop of inevitable historical/climate change and progression and get caught up in some epochal battle with leather clad armies waving sticks and cool looking swords. Every element of this film's plot has been done before to some extent, thats why even the teaser trailer looks like a "best bits" compilation from the fantasy/action genre of Hollywoods high concept netherworld where aryan, hyper-muscular, oiled up loincloth enthusiasts go to die.

I'd rather just wait for the 80's cartoon," lets all jump on the bandwagon if Transformers is sucessful" remake of He-Man in 2009. ( as long as Dolph Lundgren isnt invited)
