Synopsis:
This is a sweeping odyssey into a mythical age of prophesies and gods, when spirits rule the land and mighty mammoths shake the earth. In a remote mountain tribe, the young hunter, D'Leh, has found his heart's passion--the beautiful Evolet. When a band of mysterious warlords raid his village and kidnap Evolet, D'Leh is forced to lead a small group of hunters to pursue the warlords to the end of the world to save her. Driven by destiny, the unlikely band of warriors must battle saber-tooth tigers and prehistoric predators and, at their heroic journey's end, they uncover a Lost Civilization. Their ultimate fate lies in an empire beyond imagination, where great pyramids reach into the skies. Here they will take their stand against a powerful god who has brutally enslaved their people.

Review:
This movie is simply "Terrible". I have seen better acting in children's TV shows. The main actors seem like they are reading their lines off of a teleprompter. Which would be fine if they weren't so terribly monotoned at doing it. Zero emotion from Strait & Belle. Then you have all of the character actors who are all speaking in fake ancient languages who are just as monotoned. Past the acting you get your faced crammed full of CGI EVERYTHING!. Outside of the actual actors you are watching a movie made entirely on a computer screen. There are very few actual sets, you get a CGI Tiger, CGI Prehistoric giant birds & TONS of Mammoths. The CGI looks like it is from the early 2000's in the style that things are designed & the generic wide shots that are clearly one scene cropped together to look like more than one. Even Cliff Curtis couldn't save this film & he is usually pretty good. SUCKED.
