Your resolve(particularly when it's based on pedantic problems with some big budget fantasy flick!) to not see the film should have very little to do with your son's interest, should it?

I doubt anyone here who was a kid in 1977 wanted to see STAR WARS for any more sophisticated a reason than "it looks cool". (Of course, alot of these same folks did the same exact thing 22 years later...now that's a different story! )
I don't really want to spend a lot of money going to see a B grade movie. Those kinds of movies are for later viewing on dvd. Prices for everything at the movie theaters are getting way out of hand lately. The last movie that my son had to see was "The day after tomorrow". My wife and my two daughters hated it. I thought that the special effects were good, but the rest of the movie was pretty bad. My son was the only one who liked it. I suspect that going to see 10,000 BC would be a similar experience for us, so I will wait until this movie is available for rental. Judging by it's bad reviews, it won't be long before this movie is on dvd.
