It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Quest for Fire is a somewhat transfixing film about prehistoric times, but without dialogue and the vulgar nature of it, it wasn't compelling.While the premise of the search for fire and its understanding of creation is a good one, it lacks much else. It was also a bit silly and crude.

I had originally watched this movie back in 1982, when I was just an early teenager, and as an adult, I could only remember bits and pieces of what happened. So I recently decided to watch it again, fully expecting it to be cheesy and campy experience, the way many old movies seem to go.However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Quest For Fire has aged quite well. If anything, the grittiness of the 1982 film stock really adds to the texture of the movie. It really does feel like you're watching a world from 80,000 years ago, mainly because of the rugged landscape, but also because of the exotic wildlife and the wonderful performances. If you haven't seen this movie, and you have a healthy attention span, I would recommend watching it. If you saw the movie years ago and have written it off as a silly caveman movie, give it a second chance!

The precise path of the evolution of the human societies is not known, especially during the Stone Age period (about 10,000 BC) which predates the historical periods of written documents or other findings that can reveal details on society rules and norms, judicial system and commerce.This movie provides a glimpse in the endless quest of man of Neolithic age to establish his livelihood and place within nature. In those times fire must have played a big role: it helped to cook, forge tools and weapons for hunting and self defense against predators or other tribes.This film is about the quest of three tribesmen who belong to a northern cave-dwelling tribe. After losing their sacred fire they set out towards the hotter and more fertile southern plains in order to recover and bring back another fire. This journey is very dangerous since they have to avoid natural predators, other tribes with cannibalistic diets and certainly the elements of nature e.g. bad weather, ragged and inhospitable terrain with limited food supply.I enjoyed very much this film keeping in mind its speculative character. No one can say what it was like in those times but let's not forget: this is a movie, not a documentary.

This "film" cost $12,500,000.00 to make? I could make one just as pointless and stupid for around $11.00. It has no dialog, the acting is non-existent because there doesn't need to be any, and the plot doesn't even exist. It also should have been sub-titled "The Osbournes take The Flintstones to a orgy. It is simply a Horrible film. My very esoteric girlfriend at the time thought it was so bad that we walked out after the first half hour. It should be a Federal Law that if you walk out of a movie before a half hour that you get double your money back; then bill thestudio that made the movie. It's shameful that they can tell you how much money a movie makes the first week or two, but that figure NEVER indicates how many people didn't like it, so all the general, public thinks is "Gosh Betty and Bobby, Quest For Fire made 10 million dollars in just 4 days, Let's go see it"! This film is pointless, plot less, boring and silly. This "film" sucked like Elton John's honeymoon. Avoid it like The Plague! Is this OK, Mr. Censor?
