A prehistoric epic that follows a young mammoth hunter's journey through uncharted territory to secure the future of his tribe after members of it are kidnapped into slavery.
A big case of style over substance sums up the movie most perfectly, as the story is very simplistic and cliched, but the special effects keep your mind from thinking too deeply. It's almost like they had some really great ideas for CGI shots and wrapped a story around them real quickly.
That's not to say it's not fairly entertaining for 90 minutes as there are a lot of cool scenes and battles, it's just not going to be too memorable in a few weeks. The mastodons look awesome and some of the scenery has a wow factor, but the narrative feels sort of corny and there have been so many epic type films where "the chosen one" or whoever leads his people to their foretold blah blah blah...
Anyway, it's big dumb fun for the eyes but not a lot for the mind.
6/10
