How sad is this?

Absolutely the worst movie.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Quest for Fire (French: La Guerre du feu) is a 1981 film adaptation of the 1911 Belgian novel by J.-H. Rosny,and is probably the greatest pre-historic epic ever filmed, but the funny part is that i've never heard about this filmbefore today. I kinda did a blind-buy when a picked this film so it was like 'whatever' for me. But for my surprise, this film is a bit interesting. The cavemen are surprisingly intelligent in areas such as hunt and attack, and they also have a sub-par instinct and will to live and survive.Sure it is a little nonsense at times, and the fact that it has no dialogs in any real language known in the world don't helps that much, but it needs to be in that way in order to keep the 'disbelief' suspended for it. Obviously, it would be weird to watch Cavemans from 80.000 years ago talking in English.But yeah, as every film which touches in subjects related with the creationist theory, this film drew his fair amount of controversies at the time of it's release. Nothing too strong, though, since that this film is not the most popular out there.I don't have any complaints about the acting, i thought it was very normal, with a few low moments. It's not the kind of film which relies that much in acting, anyways. It's the kind of film that requires the actor to be as bizarre and grotesque possible, which actually is not a hard job. The use of soundtrack is good, very good actually, but the film don't has plenty of quality tracks, so it is kinda off.A recommended film, though not for everyone. 6.6/10

The title of this film came up on a Christian movie website, oddly enough, after googling ancient films. I saw that it had Ron Perlman credited and that gave me the motivation to hunt it down.Being that this movie was made before I was born, there aren't any special effects or epic costumes. There are however, many real animals implemented to the film. I did thoroughly enjoy this movie, and found an attachment to some of the characters. Even my wife, who doesn't particularly fancy films such as this, found it a good watch.Whether this film is historically accurate or not, it opened my mind to the struggles and intelligence of early man.I would highly recommend this to movie buffs that like historical films, and something a little different to your mainstream drama/action.

The Oscar for Best Makeup is icing on the cake, but let's face it, nobody really knows what your basic early human Cro-Magnon looked like. My delight in this film has nothing to do with makeup. The "moment" in Quest For Fire is Naoh (Everett McGill) watching in epiphanic amazement as a young boy of the Ivaka tribe makes fire with two sticks. Imagine that all your life you've been driving a succession of stolen cars that mysteriously stop running after a while, and you could never figure it out. One day you see a young fella with his Hyundai at one of those places that have pairs of big shiny machines, each with an attached hose and nozzle, and this kid is sticking the nozzle into the recessed pipe over the left rear fender of his car and…. Suddenly you feel like a Cro-Magnon. And the movie is heroic in many ways: tribesmen sacrificing themselves for their fellow early humans, salvation as a reward for good deeds, a love interest that makes a baby and keeps Mom and Dad together, staring at the same moon that you and I see…. And the monosyllabic proto-language is surprisingly easy to decipher, with body language and facial expressions contributing just as much to understanding as they do today. Great low-key adventure film, straight, no chaser. Read more on my blog: Barley Literate by Rick

This "film" cost $12,500,000.00 to make? I could make one just as pointless and stupid for around $11.00. It has no dialog, the acting is non-existent because there doesn't need to be any, and the plot doesn't even exist. It also should have been sub-titled "The Osbournes take The Flintstones to a orgy. It is simply a Horrible film. My very esoteric girlfriend at the time thought it was so bad that we walked out after the first half hour. It should be a Federal Law that if you walk out of a movie before a half hour that you get double your money back; then bill thestudio that made the movie. It's shameful that they can tell you how much money a movie makes the first week or two, but that figure NEVER indicates how many people didn't like it, so all the general, public thinks is "Gosh Betty and Bobby, Quest For Fire made 10 million dollars in just 4 days, Let's go see it"! This film is pointless, plot less, boring and silly. This "film" sucked like Elton John's honeymoon. Avoid it like The Plague! Is this OK, Mr. Censor?
