Emmerich is a brain surgeon.
He succesfully lobotomized me.

OK. I've endured 10 mins of this, now where's my medal?

Inexplicably boring. I mean, it has a sabre toothed cat on the front cover. How do you make a BORING movie with a sabre-toothed cat in it?! Apparently, Emmerich found the answer.

Ich hab dem Film nach 5 Jahren eine zweite Chance gegeben. Hauptsächlich weil ich ein großer Anhänger von Camilla Belle bin.
Die Regie ist solide und die Schauspieler spielen ihre Rollen nachvollziehbar. Der Score ist einem Blockbuster würdig. Die Effekte für das alter des Films sehr gut. Wenn man sich von vornherein darauf einstellt das der Film zwar historisch grundiert, im Hauptteil aber ein Fantasy Epos sein möchte, ist auch die grundlegende Story sehr vielversprechend.
Leider ist damit auch schon alles gute gesagt.
Die Rollen an sich sind die schlichtesten Stereotypen. Die "Ureinwohner" verhalten sich viel zu modern in ihren sozialen Strukturen und ihre Rituale sind zivilisierter als manches was man heute im Discovery Channel gezeigt bekommt. Die Liebesgeschichte ist… -
DO NOT LET THE CRITICS FOOL YOU! This movie was not perfect by a long shot but it was not as bad as the 7% rating that it has as of right now. The story is not great but it serves its purpose for a big action movie such as this. I thought the CG work was better than others thought and the action and effects made this into a enjoyable movie. It likely wont be one of my favorites of the year but it was enjoyable and so not deserving of the horribly low meter reading that it has.

It's style over substance without the style.

I went in with low expectations, but I must say I was entertained through it all. Sure, not the greatest of films. Sure, you have to leave your brain out... but it was fun. From what I saw, most of the people at the theater reacted the same way.

Awful. Worse than XXX: State of the Union. SHOW, Roland Emmerich, don't tell. This is one of the most shallow, vapid "adventure" stories I've ever seen. I thought it would at least be visually impressive, but no. It's not. Not even a little bit. It looks like a Discovery docudrama. Jesus christ, I want my afternoon back.

Well, first off, I will admit that it was mildly entertaining the second half. It had some okay action, and some good cgi. Compliments aside, it was painfully slow (especially the first half). there was not NEAR enough actual fighting action to convince me to engage myself fully, the plot was so terribly predictable. Skip this one.

Enjoyed this more on a rewatch. Some of the effects are great. The story is a load of bollocks though but thats not why we watch Emmerich films though really is it.

This movie was made to showcase some truly great CGI effects but the characters did not grab and the story has too many tangents that go unexplained. It also doesn't help that the hero is somewhat of an idiot.
