Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Raquel Welch in a two-piece fur bikini. That and the title is pretty much all anyone needs to know. If that indeed isn't enough, there are the dinosaurs of technician-artist Ray Harryhausen (along with some superimposed iguanas), and a prologue that tells you all you want to know about this 'brutal world.' Want more? There are volcanoes, barehanded wrestling with warthogs, and rival, subhuman, cannibalistic tribes--Lord, the list goes on and on! The portrait of humankind isn't the most flattering: we're petty, greedy, we grunt a lot, and we don't play well with others. Welch portrays a cavewoman from the tribe of the Blondes trying to make a life for herself with an outcast from the tribe of the Brunettes, which doesn't sit well with anybody. --Keith Simanton

Rating:  - One Million Years B.C.
Watch this when I was younger and loved it, though not true representation of the era it is a very thought provoking movie, with some of the wondrous stop motion animations. Try it out and I hope you enjoy as much as I did.
Rating:  - Worth it for the special effects
Ok, so the cavemen are relatively clean. And they wear relatively little clothing. And yeah, dinosaurs and humans didn't coexist. But it's a 60's movie and who cares? It's a fun movie just for the special effects.
Those are amazing, considering computers weren't even in use then. I'm still floored by their ability to do some of those specials effects and look pretty convincing, given the time period.
There aren't any real words in this whole film, so in that you may be ... Read More
Rating:  - What a pair of classics!
The two best things about One Million Years BC are Raquel Welsh... oh, and the special effects of Ray Harryhausen. A classic movie set around two tribes of cavemen and their interaction with prehistoric monsters. I grew up loving this movie, and for me, it is every bit as good today. A refreshy break from hollywood CGI!
Rating:  - Widescreen Lovers Beware!
This is the best cavemen-and-dinosaurs movie ever made! The acting is superb, and, yes, there is a lot of scope for acting in this movie. The plot isn't very subtle, but it concerns the most powerful of all dramatic themes -- survival -- and it is utterly gripping. The scenery is magnificent, and magnificently filmed. The animation by Ray Harryhausen is brilliant and realistic. The score by Mario Nascimbene is awe-inspiring and perfectly appropriate to the action. No, the movie is not scientifically ... Read More
Rating: - If you like older movies?
This movie wasn't too bad. It's about a caveman getting cast out of a male dominated, barbaric, black haired clan. Then stumbling onto another gentle (but able to protect themselves), more advanced, blond clan where he finds a woman (Welch) and they fall in love. He evenually gets cast out of that clan he, then, takes Welch and goes back to his own. He finds his brother had tried to kill the leader (their father), made him blind and lame, and has now taken over the clan. Welch goes back to her clan and gets ... Read More
