Trivia:

D'Leh refers to a star as the one that never moves. That would be the North Star, which appears stationary in the northern night sky. Due to the Earth's 26,000 year precession period, in 10,000 BC the North Star was Vega, which is the fifth brightest star in the sky. It would have been very obvious in the dark sky at that time.

Goofs:

Anachronisms: Corn. The seeds that one of the African tribesman gives at the end to the hero of the movie are mainly composed of corn seeds... Corn is from America, and wasn't brought to the old world until the 16th century AD.

Quotes:

Evolet: Baku, D'Leh is here!

Movie Connections:

Referenced in Righteous Kill (2008)

avoid at all costs if you like Emmerich's previous films.

first off, let me say i am a fan of Roland Emmerich's films like Independence Day,The Patriot etc. but this film is beyond a doubt the most grueling and awful test of patience i have ever endured . time stopped and i got a serious headache after watching this garbage. a $75,000,000 budget and you get poor actors and cgi from TV's "charmed". the "tiger" in Ice Age looked more real and even more menacing than the kitten that was in this movie no longer than 3 minutes. i thought the trailer looked good and went in the theater with an open mind . i am amazed by how bad it was . AMAZED! Come to think of it, i remember being more entertained watching paint dry!
