So Ali picked up two movies from RedBox last night: Fool's Gold and 10,000 BC. Fool's Gold was an entirely forgettable excuse to have Matthew McConaughey run around without his shirt on and 10,000 BC was more unintentionally funny than anything else.
Supposedly the story of 'the first hero' the movie, directly by Roland Emmerich bore a strange resemblance to Stargate. Seriously. The basic plot is as follows: people travel a long way to save slaves from building a pyramid, fight really weird alien creatures and kill a supposed God who may or may not be an alien and the hot girl gets killed and brought back to life.
Sound familiar? Add an alien stargate, Kurt Russell and James Spader and you have Stargate. Seriously.
Plus, the geography of 10,000 BC is whacked out. (They go from tundra to savanna to desert pretty quickly) and I didn't know they had domesticated horses in 10,000 BC. Or maps. Or pretty advanced looking ships. Or even pyramids for that matter.
Best part though: there's a character called Tic-Tic who looks like Britney Spears' tabloid ex, Adnan Ghalib. (Really!) And apparently, Omar Sharif was somewhere in the movie, though damned if I know where.
In general: lame movie. Fun to make fun of if you're bored- but lame. Just go watch Stargate.
