   There's something about caveman movies I am hard-wired to like. Now sure, One Million Years B.C. is more like a fantasy world that scrunches together all of prehistory - humans and proto-humans at different stages of development, dinosaurs, volcanic upheaval - but accepting that, I nevertheless found it compelling, and no, it's not just the buxom babes or the Harryhausen wizardry. I can't help but see it as a sociopolitical fable, one that's sadly still relevant today, about tribalism, and the clash between every-man-for-himself policy vs. a more cooperative and humane model. The story overlaid on this is a romance between members of each tribe, and THAT I don't really believe. The dim-witted brute Tumak scarcely deserves the Amazon Queen Loana, but the conceit is required for one of the "Rock Tribe" to fall in with the more advanced hunter-gatherer culture she represents. The final act is a bit of a mess, granted, and everything is almost lost because of the way Tumak "thinks". Bonus points for the gorgeous Lanzarote locations. 5 years 5 months ago
