So working my way through the Daryl Hannah filmography and i have to say it was not as bad as i though it was going to be. Not sure what i was expecting. It is a famous and loved book series after all. Perhaps the bone through the nose "ooga booga" cave man stereotype and to be fair they do employ the eighties heavy metal bouffant hair. We all know of course any cave man worth his food taste dirt would have dreadlocks and braids. But hey it was the eighties and we were experimenting with the cave man look. We know better now days. it is however an interesting idea of a transitional period in evolution when two lines of humans haven't quite speciated yet. Most of the dialogue is subtitled as communication is mostly done through hand signals but it's not a distraction and seems to work. The movie has stuck with me a day later so they had to have done something right. It's one of those movies that is going to get me to read the book series. Plus it does have one of the coolest movie posters of all time.
