It looks like an interesting movie. I would like some FReeper feedback.
I am surprised that PC Hollywood is using B.C. instead of the now politically correct B.C.E. (Before Common Era)

I’m sure this will be changed prior to release.
Looks pretty good though. I wonder which hollywood relic was around back then to document the life and times of our ancestors?
Looks awful, like a bad cross between “Stargate” and “1,000,000 B.C.” Giant golden cities coexisting with domesticated mammoths 12,000 years ago? Did anyone associated with this movie take even Anthro 101? Give me a break.
Amazing how "The more things change, the more they remain the same".
I thought B.C.E. was Before Christian Era. ;)
I have to set aside my schedule to make damn sure I miss that.
Yeh. It should have read A.D.E. (After Demonrats Evolved)

I never existed. Forget the above.
That preview didn’t make the movie interesting to me at all, in fact I rather had low hopes when I saw that the director also did Day AFter Tommorow.
Yeah, I feel the same.
This is a fantasy film. Not a serious attempt at showing us what that lost world was truly like.
Oh well.
Refined metal knives before the Bronze Age? Domesticated war mammoths? Pyramids and either cut stone or brick buildings? Sorry, the director's other move "Independence Day" appears to have been more historically accurate.
This is crazy. They didn’t have cameras 10,000 years ago. ;-)
Hey, I wonder if the movie opens up with the Ice Age coming to an abrupt end - like in 3 HOURS!!
Yeah; why do you think it’s not possible? Because the mainstream hierarchy of archeology says so? The date for the beginning of civilization keeps getting pushed back further and further into prehistory. The Sphinx is officially dated to about 3500 BC, but geologists can clearly show that it must have been built no later than 9000 BC, due to the type and extent of erosion on the main structure and repairs made at known dates. The ancients knew of far older civilizations than themselves, most of the records of such was maintained in the library of Alexandria. The legend of the Phoenix is an allegorical story of Man’s civilization.
.....not to mention the over cooked digital effects. I give the preview 2 thumbs down :)
The scene where they actually make fire is well worth seeing — and the movie made Rae Dawn Chong America’s sweetheart.
