what "primitive" survival meant. It was Homeric, in the true sense. It wasn't meant to be an FX-filled action film or a ridiculous action hero film that happened to occur in the faraway past. Nor was it a cutesy Malick-opera. It was gritty, ugly, and violent--- though it showed a humanism not unexpected in man. Not a great film, no, but certainly no "Avatar."
