100 Million BC

The CGI of this thing, Mr. Lucas did a better job back in 1977 when he created Star Wars. Not to mention the camera work. As awful as I have ever seen. Think Godzilla - the one from the fifties. Might be a budget thing.

The story however, I liked very much. I must admit I'm a sucker for this kind of s.f. (the kind that touches the current-day world). It's about a secret government project gone very bad. In WO II the US government experimented with a technology that could potentially make objects invisible. In stead, they stumbled on a way to time travel. On the first away mission, things went terribly wrong and the team got stranded about 70 million years ago. The scientist responsible for the project takes this failure personally and for the next 60 years he plans on getting them back. One day he gets his chance and joins a rescue team back into the prehistoric age. When they return however, they bring back more than they hoped for.

If you can see past the bad acting, bad camera work and very VERY bad CGI, you could well like this movie. I didn't and the 3/10 points it got from me are purely for the story.

mistakes rollover this non-movie movie...

it tells about a trip to 100 m b.c. but after that lots of practical mistakes ...

Direction is too bad , and the worst is visual effects , i mean in between frames shots to prehistoric animals , beside it does look like a 1960's dinosaurs movie , guys wake up we are in the 21 century .....

I mean at least be like Jurassic park Worst sound effects , story and actions are lame ...

I wasted 90 minutes in this nonsense and i hope it is never on the big screen

heyho!

im usually into these kinds of films, but this was really, really bad... extremely poor writing (navy base standard vehicle is a Hummer H2? WTF? and so on...)

poor sound FX (guns sound like paintball guns)...

poor movie overall...

well, i understand budget issues and all the likes, but this actually looked like a movie from the 90's....ok, the early 90's... I've seen some computer games A FEW YEARS ago, which had better/ more compelling stories and SFX than this movie..go and watch Primeval...much more fun and much more sophisticated... This move would be something for, lets say a 11:30 pm timeslot on German public TV....yes..it is that bad...

please don't waste your time! Felix

I, too, got sucked into buying this at Wal-Mart because of the cover art - the misleading cover art.

I watched the other flick, "Journey To the Center Of the Earth" first and thought it was putrid. Well, it was, but "100 Million BC" was even (new word) putrider. I can only conclude that everyone involved during the couple of days it took to put this s--t together were drunk.

As for Michael Gross, well, oh how the mighty have fallen. As for everyone else, may they fall off the face of the earth. The jokers who were advertised as "an elite military team" were scary. In spite of the pseudo-intellectual ranting they were thoroughly unconvincing as their characters and as actors.

Well, maybe, it was played for laughs, but it was neither humorous or even mildly interesting. Being a sadist I sat through the whole thing with the feeling that it had to get better.

It got worse. CRAP with a capital K. If you spot this in the Wal-Mart bin take it out and, as a public service, stomp on the damn thing so no one else will be taken in.

One hundred million zeroes for "100 Million BC."

A gathering of old-timers, including Michael Gross, Chris Atkins and Greg Evigan, is the only reason I can think of for watching this badly made science fiction video. A group of soldiers led by a scientist is led back in time to rescue a group of scientists that was sent back to the same time period in the 1940s, via the Philadelphia Experiment (where's Michael Pare when we need him?). They get chased and some of them are eaten by dinosaurs, and the survivors end up inadvertently bringing along a large carnivore on their return. Much of the film is dark and hard to make out, and the carnivore loose in the big city is almost impossible to follow. The whole thing seems endless. Bad bad bad.
