In order to review this movie you need to consider how good it is in terms of filmmaking and also the validity of the scientific claims that are being made. I've been interested in evolution and paleontology my whole life and have seen countless documentaries on this subject. It's very difficult to lay out a complex story in an hour and a half so I realize that we're not going to see all of the little details required to actually prove what they're saying. I would like to have seen more evidence that the rock they discussed is actually a stone tool but it's obvious that these creatures used tools to make those very distinctive carvings. It also seems certain that they did in fact bury their dead which certainly means that they weren't as primitive as they might have appeared with their small brains. So it was informative as well as entertaining for those of us who are interested in science and definitely worth watching.
I really wasn't expecting much with such a low review average and it really has me wondering about the whole review process. The acting was excellent in this movie and it was put together in such a way that I got interested right from the start and was hooked until the end. The action scenes were very realistic and intense. Noomi Rapace is very good in a role like this, I'm very impressed with her.
I have to say that I'm beginning to wonder about the legitimacy of these reviews. I can understand how an action film like this one certainly isn't for everyone but it simply doesn't deserve a low score, it's a high quality film! I rarely give a movie and 8 but this one deserves it! Highly recommended.

The premise of this series is wildly unrealistic and far fetched but I must admit that I really enjoyed it anyway. The acting was good and the buildup of the plot was well done. I also like the fact that it wasn't too long of a series and it's been my experience that many of them are far too long and they end up dragging the whole thing down. Five episodes was just about right to let the story unfold and develop the characters in a way that was entertaining to the viewer. I've seen Ciaran Hinds in quite a few films and he's always good so he was an appropriate addition to the cast. I see that quite a few reviews are critical of the outlandish nature of the story but after watching it I'm glad I didn't pay any attention to them. Give it a try!
