What Took Me So Long: I tend to avoid animated movies in theaters due to the kid factor.
Why I Saw It: (Club 50) Well, there's the Emma Stone of it all. Even animated, I'll see something with her name in it. Overall, I was impressed with some of the restraint the movie showed. I fully expected to see a T-Rex by the end of this and there wasn't one (like, say, in Ice Age).
Why I Wish I Hadn't: I have to learn to let science go for these movies better. Every time the Nic Cage caveman threw modern man Ryan Reynolds with physics defying strength, I shuddered. Maybe if they toned it down, just a little, I'd be less distracted. There was a cleverness to certain "discoveries" that I appreciated. The utter lack of understanding of fire and where light comes from was entertaining and a beat smarter than I expected to see. Largely, it's just a little too generic for my taste. I already can't keep jokes from it and Ice Age straight in my head until I think "Did a wooly mammoth do that?".
Verdict (?): Weakly Don't Recommend
