Atouk and Lar meet and join up with other outcasts to form their own tribe, after being banished from their own.
The new tribe includes a blind man, a gay couple, a dwarf, and other oddball outcasts rejected by other tribes.
But Atouk still longs to be with Lana, the beautiful mate of Tonda, the leader who kicked him out of his tribe......
How best to describe this movie? Strange would be a good way to put it, and also, for reasons beyond me, its actually very watchable, and quite funny in places.
To put the film across to someone, they would balk at the idea of the film, The drummer from The Beatles, who wasn't the best drummer in the band, starring in a movie about Cavemen, that doesn't have hardly any comprehensible dialogue.
I only saw he film, because I thought we would be in Battlefield Earth/Starcrash territory, but don't let the synopsis deter you, the film is endearing, and because of the lack of spoken English, Starr turns in a good performance.
The movie is visually stunning, and the stop motion looks so bad, its actually quite good, especially the stop motion Ringo during the final set piece.
Ably supported by Long, Quaid, and Bach, Caveman is one of those throwaway movies that is fun while it lasts, but instantly forgettable, and a touch homophobic...
