Are we supposed to believe

......that upon him waking up, he didn't instantly realize he was in a small enclosed area? For a caveman to look to the vast sky and roam miles daily, he would have noticed his capture the moment he woke up. No sky, no sun, concrete ceiling and walls, stairs etc, you get the point. That to me was so dumb. They made it seem like he was so unintelligent to not even notice his surroundings and only living in a small space which would not be his real life. I saw this when it first came out and thought it was cool but watching it now in 2024, it seems so out of touch. I know it's just a movie, but I didn't like that whole scenario.

What are you one of those GEICO cavemen screaming about negative stereotyping?

Because he was a primitive man, you assume he lived his whole life outdoors? Why do you think we call them cavemen?

He would have spent most of his life in a small enclosed area, only going outside to hunt. The artificial environment they made for him would have seemed perfectly natural, even pleasant.
