History YMMV / TenThousandBC

* {{Narm}}: Most, if not all of the film. Special mention goes to the scene where the blind albino man gives D'Leh some exposition about the Almighty. The man's appearance, couple with his squeaky voice led to entire theaters howling with laughter during what is supposed to be a serious scene.

* EsotericHappyEnding: The False God is killed... taking with himself all his knowledge and organisation of society, with humanity left with nothing and what's left of his culture being burned down. The true irony is, the evil things he did are a natural part of Bronze Age, slave-backed palace economy, so all his death achieves is making sure Neolith lasts few thousand years longer with zero benefit for anyone. And ''then'', once Bronze Age starts, everything will repeat itself anyway.

* SpecialEffectFailure: The only effects that even work are the Mammoths. Special mention should go to the fall of the pyramid in the climax, which is especially ConspicuousCG and, for some reason, the frame rate drops noticeably.

Of course, it's only esoteric from the perspective of the future, you cant expect slaves to be okay with slavery because it'll benefit civilization in the long run, thousands of years after they were worked to death.

* AwesomeMusic: The score by Harold Kloser and Thomas Wander is probably the only good thing about this film.

* NightmareFuel: The Attack of the Terror Birds. Just think what it must be like to stand in that tall grass, unable to see anything around you, and then suddenly realize you're being stalked by stealthy predators, you can't see where they're coming from, and any attempt to move could lead you closer to your death.

* TheyJustDidntCare: Averted in that the filmmakers already knew they weren't making a historically accurate movie. The idea of the movie being set in "10,000 B.C." was merely a promotional/selling point for dramatic purposes.

* UncannyValley: Whose bright idea was it to give [[CamillaBelle the half-Brazilian chick]] blue eyes?

* SoBadItsGood: Well, half-way... You should only see this movie if you're planning to laugh at its many, many, many errors. Otherwise, don't bother.
