Exactly. Actually, none of Emmerich´s films have pretended to be anything more than 200 million dollars fireworks show/s.
The Patriot? Even Stargate is toned down compared to stuff like ID4, Godzilla and The Day After Tomorrow.

No, it's a very good film with a superb "nerve" throughout!I am extremely serious. -

I quite liked it as well... though I was more than a bit reminded of the old C64 "Aztec Challenge" arcade game...'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

I may be getting my spectacles confused. I was actually reacting to Apocalypto.

Ok, I´ll give you that. The Patriot at least tries to tell a story; a boring one, IMO, but a story after all. But for me it proved that what Emmerich does well is, quoting Tim, to marvel us at mega-scale death and destruction.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

Erik mentioned The Patriot (which I hated) as an exception. I've enjoyed most of his other films, ludicrous though they are. I guess one might compare him with Michael Bay in terms of producing ludicrous films designed solely for entertainment; and I think he would fare very well in that comparison. I haven't seen 10000BC though. Anyone? -

Michael Bay is on a superior league. You can hate his movies, but he has a personal style that many have tried to imitate failing miserably.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

Hmm. I'd have said that Emmerich paved the way for most of the explosion-dominated effects films which followed (including Bay's) and Bay's style is essentially Emmerich's, but with more cuts. -

Well, you see a Bay film and you KNOW it´s Bay (the way he moves the camera, the editing, those travellings, etc.). Emmerich is a good artisan, no doubt about it, but his films and Stephen Sommers´ones (to name just one) look the same to me.Anything with an orchestra or with a choir....at some point will reach you -

Though it too has it's minus points I would recommend Jean-Jaques Annaud's film Quest For Fire, it at least is a serious attempy and includes an invented language by Anthony ( A Clockwork Orange ) Bergess and body language by Desmond ( Thje Naked Ape ) Morris, a great score by Philippe Sarde too.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Interesting, thanks, I haven't seen that.
I had high hopes for a Jean Auel filmization. The 80's CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR with Darryl Hannah was NOT impressive, despite a charming Silvestri score.I am extremely serious. -

I'm afraid we'll have to beg to differ on the 'charming Silvestri score'
If Clan of The Cavebear was made now I'm sure it would be a lot better though historically "cavemen" have never been big box office. The problem with getting Neanderthals right is a big one, far more squat and far more powerfully built than we are and face make-up on actors just never looks correct to me when concerning these ancient species of mankind. In the film they just looked like dwarves with big foreheads.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Also the fear of having humans, but not much dialogue. Personally, I would have found it VERY interesting. A film driven almost exclusively by movements, gestures, "basic" body language, perhaps with some vocal sounds as communication (with subtitles, if necessary).I am extremely serious. -

In that case I yet again recommend QUEST FOR FIRE, no voice over or subtitles, all done with vocalisation and body language, the film has a real charm IMO with some good intentionally funny moments in amongst some stark brutality.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -
