It is an excellent film. Not particularly enjoyable (IMO) but that is, I think, an indication of how well it covers the more distiburing details of it's subject matter.
The last film I saw? 10,000 BC.
It's actually a lot like Stargate (the film minus the science fiction), also by Roland Emmerich. In a small way, the story also dovetails with the story of that film, but only because it is set around the time that the pyramids were constructed, and one of the characters hints that the people behind the pyramids weren't human.
Good points: Spectacular action scenes, and the scenes where they show the construction of the pyramids give an excellen sense of scale, both of the pyramids themselves and the number of people used in the construction.
Bad ponts: Takes an awful long time for anything remotely interesting to happen. My impantience wasn't helped by the fact that the cinema was full, and they hadn't even turned on the air vents, let alone the airconditioning. So, the room temperature was high.
6/10
