Messy and unbalanced, I find this film especially. The frequently mentioned monsters are quite beautiful here and there, but on the other hand, some scenes are really ugly. Some of the special effects are also not to be seen.
Furthermore, the fake tanning bed brown Welch is about the only reason to watch this film. I can hardly see a cult hit in it.

One Million Years BC was announced at the time as Hammer Filmstudio's 100th film. This studio is best known for the many horror films they produced in the 1950s. One Million Years BC is more reminiscent of the Italian sword-and-sandals films of the 1950s and 1960s, in which scantily clad actors played the lead in times long gone.
Scientifically, this movie is a load of nonsense. Dinosaurs had been extinct for over 60 million years before the first humans appeared, but in this film they still lived together. In addition, we also see fictional animals such as a giant iguana and a giant spider. The stop-motion effects are from Ray Harryhausen, but we've seen better work from him. However, the fight between the Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus is nicely made for that time.
The female actors almost all look like fashion models and Raquel Welch takes the cake here. Her gorgeous, tanned tan body is much more fun to look at than Harryhausen's wooden effects. Unfortunately, she is also the only noteworthy of this otherwise rather mediocre fantasy film. The pace is excruciatingly slow and the acting is nothing to write home about either.
One Million Years BC is a remake of the 1940 film of the same name, starring Victor Mature at the time. This remake is memorable only because of Raquel Welch in skimpy clothes.

The film best known for its poster. With the beautiful Raquel Welch! Shawshank Redemption will also have helped with this. I like a fantasy movie like that. Logic doesn't really matter to me in these kinds of films. But it's not more than some grunting between people in fur jackets (even though Raquel's is worth it) and ugly effects. I soon had it. Little adventure to experience.
