Movie Review by Suzanne

March 18th, 2008

10,000 Extras

Favorite Movie Quote: "Don't eat me after I set you free."

It is always interesting for me to find a common opinion of a movie in fellow filmgoers. Upon returning home from the Multiplex, I came here and read Jarrod and Matthew's reviews and they basically cover the reasons why this movie fails. I wont waste time reiterating the same thing in my own words.

In addition I would like to give a few personal reasons as to why I was disappointed. First off, I liked Steven Strait as Caleb in The Covenant and as Warren Peace in Sky High. He has a bright and contagious smile and it is clear he has the heart of a hero. Too bad the script for 10BC doesnt have the wit of one.

Camilla Belle does well here as she doesnt have many lines. Her character is taken into A-List slavery, where she doesnt have to toil or sweat but she feeds the others and gets tied up at bedtime. Maybe the "Almighty" wasnt building a temple but a prehistoric hotel chain.

I spent the scenes involving Cliff Curtis wondering where do I know that guy from? I just did my research and found that he was "Bully" in Once Were Warriors, an excellent film about struggle and tradgedy where ironically in that, he plays a giant beast.

At one point I turned to my friend and exclaimed, "This movie is pissing me off."
I had to stifle my laughter over the blind guy who speaks high-pitched gibberish and is kept on a stretcher in a solitary confined hole in the ground. Probably as punishment for botching one of those 10 inch manicures.

Anyhoo, I would have had more fun ad-libbing this one at home a la Mystery Science Theater in my underoos.

Cliff Curtis was also in Sunshine and the incredible Whale Rider.

and Traffic. But can you get him back to Kevin Bacon in six degrees of separation?
