I just got back from seeing 10,000 B.C., Roland Emmerich's prehistoric epic. While not as epic as I was expecting, the film turned out to have great CG animation courtesy of Double Negative, The Moving Picture Company, The Senate, amongst other effects vendors. The trailers led me to believe that the effects work was destined to be sub-par at best due to dodgy composites and rough animation. (It should be noted, however, that the film was originally scheduled to be released last summer -- I'm guessing the film was postponed to improve the effects work.) Particularly impressive, however, was the massive pyramid kingdom. It looked so epic and visionary, and the battle sequences, although not the most intense I've ever seen, were certainly inventive and masterful, conceptually as well as technologically, for what they were. I look forward to the film's coverage in the next Cinefex, which I believe should be out this April.
