okay, so the mutant thingies are brainless, animals who are humanoid, BUT; the future-humans-cavepeople aren't allowed into their territory. (HUNH? Wouldn't that require some modicum of intelligence?) Ah, but that's where the giant sloth is so they go there anyway because the tribe hasn't had meat in weeks and is starving. After they kill this 6 thousand pound creature they return to their village with one ten pound roast and the heart.(HUNH?, I guess they eat like birds.) Then the mutants attack and most of the villagers make it into their cave where they drop this clever barrier of logs at the entrance. The mutants are locked out, they are safe inside. BUT,,, nobody had the sense to store some food or water so they face the prospect of starvation. And no back door!(Way to plan future cavemen!!!) I could go on and on,because this story is full of inanities but I will touch on the biggest incredulity of all and it is the linchpin of the plot. The yellow dust. With the fate of the human race at stake and every PHD in medicine IN THE WORLD working unsuccessfully on a cure a few hundred years later some caveman figures it out with a few herbs and spices! Amazing!!

There are movies that you watch and think! How did they manage to get money to make movies like this? (similar like Tomatoes Killers(and sequels) I do realize we all have our own taste in movies, but seriously!!! Story line, logic, the way people look, their believes...etc. They could of make movies like this back in 60. What happens when we watch some fantasy or Sci-Fi movies of 60's? we giggle and think... "this does not seams real... nether this... this would not evolve into that... this is just silly..." and so on! Just like this movie! What is the verdict? Do not watch this movies unless your only alternative for evening entertainment is smashing your head against the wall. This movies will not give you any idea of what would world look like after post-apocalyptic event! It will not wider your horizons of imagination or what ever.... p.s. Sean Bean is a good actor! He must of had money problems why he accepted this role, or it was a favor to some producer...

Here is a tip top made for TV Sci-Fi movie. The script is clever, the film belies it's budget looking fab with the South African locations and all the cast shine.The creature effects are excellent and the action gallops along with some style.I would of really liked to have seen this on a big cinema screen rather than my TV,big as it is, with the bloody adverts every 10 muns butting in.Another problem with watching films on TV here in the UK is the TV channel logo top right all the way through a film. Someone explain why? I know which station i am on. Anyway can't fault this film so it gets top marks from me mainly due to 60 years of not seeing this plot used before in the Sci-fi genre.Well worth your time or rent it without fear of the cost.

Wow, the reviews on this movie are all over the place. Is it garbage? Is it an overlooked gem? Well, a little of both.If you've ever been househunting, you've run into houses that had "good bones" - good solid construction, nice layout, good plumbing, electrical, etc..... but these homes often have ugly carpeting, out-of-date wallpaper, and a kitchen and bath that need a MAJOR redo. That's this movie.Overall, the movie has an interesting premise, a lot of fun action, characters that you care about and gorgeous scenery. Good bones. Unfortunately, the movie also suffers from silly mistakes and sloppy writing that needlessly diminish it. The scene, for example, where the characters come across leeches for, apparently the first time in their lives (though they are in a body of water IN the village), then in the next scene they refer to these creatures casually as "leeches". What? A second ago they were horrified and baffled at the sight of them! Or the fact that when attacked, they all cry out, "To the Cave!" and all run to what is apparently their Emergency Back-Up Cave (complete with an emergency "door" that seals them in).... yet strangely, the cave has no food nor water stored in it, and they are soon worried about this - understandably.These minor, but frustratingly inane situations occur with sad frequency - but my hubby and I kept with the film because... it does have good bones, just ugly carpeting.Really ugly carpeting.Just watch the film imagining hardwood floors, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. LOL!:)
