Rating (1-10, 10 being highest): 4
Quick Rating: (skip, watch, watch when no other choice): Watch when no other choice
Story Line: A young hunter (Steven Strait) in a tribe sets out to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend (Camilla Belle) and villagers and unite other tribes rise against a mighty enemy.
What's good: An early scene of big elephant stampede.
What's bad: The story is an old and tired story, which you have probably seen in many other movies, Mel Gibson's Apocalypto coming to mind first. The movie wants to rise to prehistoric level, only to fail to a historical proportion. The main hunter group is dressed like Jamaican with long hair braids - come on, give me a break.
Bottom line: The movie does have a couple big scenes that make it big screen worthwhile, but overall, a tired story with no climax, no acting, so so cinematography and very few action, which is a death spell for a typical guy.
