throughout this film I noted many blatant lies that simply display the truth behind the entirety of the program. These paintings are clearly not from the paleolithic age and when the guy started whistling with a so called flute stuck into the corner of his mouth (watch it again it is clearly whistling). I could not contain myself and had to stop watching what I can only conclude is a farce that is stealing credit from more reliable art works (Probably for Money). If you are of the belief that these are in fact real. I can only say that you are free to your opinion. If there is any evidence to prove me wrong I would love to see it. I myself believe the entire thing to be a counterfeit.

I still have vivid images of this film, 6-months after seeing it. I won't resume/spoil anything - just watch the movie. Movies such as this one are rare. Not only because of the topic, and not because it filmed something 'closed-to-the-public'. It's rare to find movies that stir the audience's imagination without imposing personal views. This one lets the viewers make their own assessments and come to their own conclusions. A rare documentary, indeed! The only negative comment I might have is a personal one : I realized that walking-with-a-camera-on-the-shoulder, while adding realism to 2D movies, makes for a bumpy ride in 3D.

Best documentry film. Most important thing in world is art, beginning of culture and civilization, literacy, science... comes because concept of art. Most important beginning is art.

I knew nothing about the ancient caves when I saw this. But I thought it was astonishing. I saw it twice, and both times it was excellent. It's essentially a docu about very ancient caves which the film-makers (Werner Herzog and pals) have gotten special access to. Filmed in 3D, it shows us all the ancient paintings and it has interviews with certain people. This is the one 3D film I've seen where the people who made it actually had an excuse to make it in 3D. It really brings the paintings to life, making you feel that you're actually inside the caves. This is what initially drew me to the film, and it blew me away. The 3D is used well in other bits, such as when a man shows us how Ug the caveman would've fired arrows (yes, he does point them in our faces). Overall, I thought this was brilliant. I'm giving it 9/10.

Unless you're an archaeologist or an avid fan of ancient cave drawings this film drags. The cave itself is beautiful, but personally I can only look at so many charcoal drawings with ambient orchestral music before I fall fast asleep. The cameras used were cheap and the whole thing winds up looking like it was made in the late 80's. If you're a fan of all things french this film will not disappoint you. If you like hearing people with masters degrees philosophize about existence through their own personal lens of archaeological obsession,you will love this film. Otherwise not so much. Not bad by any means, but if you're used to the brilliance of things like planet earth or national geographic this film is not too likely to grab you.

Unforgettable journey into the ancient past. It's also beautifully narrated. Feels like you are right there. Highly recommended!. An immersive look at our earliest artists. Incredibly educating and a fun walk walk through with our ancient ancestors. If you enjoy documentaries, this one will surprise you.

If you are curious about human nature and our species interest in art and spirituality, this is a MUST SEE. I was deeply moved, not only by the drawings in the cave, but also by the many interviews conducted with people who have been studying the art from the cave and other artifacts produced by humans in the time period in which the paintings were made. The fact that human beings were making art with this level of skill and symbolic significance some 40,000 years ago is staggering to me. And, you must see it in the theater because the 3D reveals the contours of the cave and how the artists used this in the composition of what must is surely one of the greatest works of art of all time.
