 Pure cinematic cheese January 10, 2010

This movie is so cheesy and so loveable, you can't help but give it 5 stars. We laughed through the whole movie, because we couldn't believe they were attempting to make a serious movie. IN fact, I am buying a copy to show to my high school kids and their friends to share the laughter that this cheesy movie contains within!
 Low budget story filming and ending April 20, 2009

First of all the 3 reviews complaining about "Pan and Scan" (on how it was filmed) had to be made by three film students in the same class. Low budget, simple plot, stupid medical revival, ok acting, blurry jerky camera pans, impossible hugh tropical cage in the arctic, desire to cut him up and then letting him go. And being an Air Force vet, how could a 200 pound man jump onto the runner of a helicopter and not be noticed and fall for several minutes from a height of 20 feet. Why not land the chopper so he could live instead of the pilot offering his hand to a caveman who thinks the chopper is a bird. WEAK, DUMP WASTE OF TIME that's why it is being offered for $3.
Perfect Science Fiction Great Acting November 2, 2008

I first watched this movie on showtime about two years ago. I had wanted it ever since. This is a must watch for anyone that like sci-fi.
Amazing performances February 10, 2008

I really felt that I was somehow witnessing what would really happen if we found a frozen caveman and were able to revive him. It's a truly unique experience and a pleasure to watch such realistic acting - which doesn't feel like "acting" at all - in such an "un-realistic" setting. It's fascinating and entertaining - I highly recommend it!
the classic iced caveman film.... July 3, 2007
S. S. Rowsell (sydney australia)
...this has to be one of the best 'caveman' films ever made. it has dated in a few places - notably 'computer game' entertainment (but hey it is set in a base in antartica, maybe they're a bit behind!!) but otherwise it stands up very solidly. Fred Schepisi directs it incredibly well with awesum photography and pace. The real win is Hutton and Lone - their performances are (i think) the best of both their careers! John Lone's make up is on the Neandertal side of cro magnon but realistic and captivating, only enhancing an electric performance. Timothy Hutton is brilliant as the misunderstood anthropologist and the cast around them is outstanding.
Overall a great example of what to expect should we ever discover an iced caveman: scientific arguements, trivial executive powerplays, moral ethics vs medical ethics, privacy abuses, and political/social mindgames! very reminiscent of the situation with Otzi the 'real iceman' whos frozen body was found in the swiss/french Alps.
A thought provoking film that hits its target - i recommend for all interested in our paleo history and our regression as a forward thinking civilization. top marks.
