	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"[A] sublimely dunderheaded excursion into human prehistory (...) The big, climactic fight, complete with an epic snuffleupagus rampage, is decent action-movie fun. And as a history lesson, '10,000 BC' has its value"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"'10,000 B.C.' will take your money, rob your time and hit your brain like a shot of Novacaine (...) It’s the human actors who look fake (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"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."	NEG
United Kingdom	Nigel Floyd Time Out	"Like the lumbering mammoths, it is plodding and dull (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Keith Phipps AV Club	"'The Day After Tomorrow' was kind of stupidly fun, and '10,000 B.C.' might be too, if it weren't so stupidly dull. And when the dullness stops, the film still has problems."	NEG
United States	Todd Gilchrist IGN	"A candy-coated version of 'Apocalypto' (...) Plot holes, storytelling deficiencies and often terrible special effects"	NEG
United Kingdom	Angie Errigo Empire	"A preposterous prehistoric adventure quest that is undeniably spectacular (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"[It] lumbers along like one of the woolly mammoths that roam across the screen (...) This is just too derivative (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Sukhdev Sandhu Telegraph	"It's probably best not to pay much attention to the film's philosophical ruminations (...) Emmerich manages to rev up the action and choreograph key set-pieces effectively"	NEU
