Movie Reviews of One Million Years B.C.
Movie Review: Meet your great great great gr gr grandparents
Summary: 5 Stars
This is great. It is so corny but at the same time very unique although personally I think 'A quest for fire' is heaps better. There are hardly any stone-age Cro-Magnon early human/hominid type movies out there but One Million Years BC gives a good crack at it although highly inaccurate with humans fighting dinosaurs even though they didn't coexist at the same epoch, the general theme of tribes battling for survival from two different stocks and then interbreeding is certainly very interesting (one gang are like they are Abba's descendants with their blond hair). There is some excellent stop-motion animation, not to mention this is done by Hammer who brought us Christopher Lee as Dracula. The music is very eerie and somewhat memorable with an overall sadness pervasive from start to finish, the struggle that is human life is captured well and the film ends up being a surprise hit. If you like films about ancient history then maybe for all its short-comings One Million Years BC is one of the more interesting ones you can see.Movie Review: Well, It's About Time!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am an avid Ray Harryhausen fan, and I consider ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. to be one of his most classic and memorable works. As I began collecting his films on DVD, I kept wondering when they'd release this one on DVD. Then, just this August, they released two more of Harryhausen's on DVD, THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS and THE VALLEY OF GWANGI (plus the Willis O'Brien flick THE BLACK SCORPION). That meant just two more films needed to be released on DVD in order for my collection to be complete. And this was one of 'em. I kept thinking, "WHERE IS IT?!"But now, and only three days after my birthday, ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. is finally coming to the format, and I couldn't be happier. I'm just hoping that it has more special features than a simple Restoration Comparison, but simply having this classic on a fully restored DVD is good enough for me!
Now, if only Universal would get going on MIGHTY JOE YOUNG. . . . . . . . .
Movie Review: Possibly even better than Gwangi!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought Valley of Gwangi and One million years BC together, just because it said there was claymation by Ray Harryhausen in both. I already knew about Gwangi, and watched it first. I loved it. But I was unsure about One million years BC. It looked and sounded like a rip off of Quest for fire (another good caveman film) and I doubted there'd be much claymation, because if it was anything like Quest for fire, it would be serious and realistic, without any corny FX.
So I popped it in the DVD player, and began watching. And my eyes were instantly glued to the screen. There were TONS of claymation scenes (all wonderful) and even a giant Iguana! And Raquel Welch was also a fine cave woman (although she didn't resemble any of the gruff dirty cave men) but it was pleasing non-the-less.
Definitly recomended if you're craving a prehistoric adventure full of awesome FX and lovely Raquel Welch.
Movie Review: Raquel Welch was not designed by Ray Harryhausen?
Summary: 5 Stars
Think of "Forbidden Planet" (1956) and you think of Anne Francis. There were space movies before this and after this yet Ann Francis is the definitive space babe. After watching "One Million Years B.C.", Raquel though a little fuzzy will always be in our minds.
This story is the definitive girl meets Dino. It is not all just a fury story there is a script and love involved. Then there are the haps and mishaps of the Shell people Vs the Stone people.
If the pre-historic menagerie looks familiar, with the exception of the iguana, we can thank Ray Harryhausen's talents. This movie is a classic on many levels and should be in your collection.
If you are only interested in fur bikinis, then your next picture should be "Caveman" (1981) With Barbara Bach protruding...oops! I mean filling out a fur bikini.
Movie Review: Don't listen to people who complain about the DVD. just buy it. it's good
Summary: 5 Stars
Although european vversion is longer, but it's a very good release at cost of 5 dollars. It's a dual-layer DVD with good quality, 2 trailers and 10 exciting previws. movie itself is awsome. It's not a B movie. It's one of the best science/fiction classics I've ever seen!
