Ao, le dernier Néandertal, est un film français réalisé par Jacques Malaterre, sorti en France le 29 septembre 2010. Il s'agit d'une adaptation du roman en 3 tomes de Marc Klapczynski, Ao l'homme ancien publié aux éditions Aubéron.

Il s'agit du premier long métrage de fiction de Jacques Malaterre, qui avait réalisé précédemment des docu-fictions sur la Préhistoire et l'évolution de l'homme, notamment L'Odyssée de l'espèce, Homo sapiens et Le Sacre de l'homme.

Synopsis

Pendant trois cent mille ans, les Néandertaliens ont occupé l'Europe, mais leur espèce tend à disparaître : elle ne compte qu’un seul représentant, Ao. Son clan ayant été anéanti par des Homo sapiens, Ao commence à errer, sans cesse poursuivi par la vision de son frère Oa et décidé à revenir dans son vieux clan paternel. Il est capturé par une tribu d’Homo sapiens hostiles et fait la connaissance d’Aki, une femme Homo sapiens prisonnière. Tous les deux réussissent à s'échapper et avec le temps, après la méfiance et la suspicion que la femme avait initialement éprouvé envers cet homme différent, Ao et Aki commencent à se connaître et à se comprendre. À la fin Ao découvre qu'il est le dernier des Néandertaliens, mais il lui reste sa compagne, Aki, et les fruits de leur amour : sa petite fille et un nouvel enfant qui s’annonce.

Paleontologist Zack takes his nephew Ricky and niece Jade on a fossil hunt, giving the sullen Ricky his Gorgosaurus tooth while he and Jade go to the fossil bed. Alone, Ricky is met by a talking rook, who morphs into Alex the Alexornis bird, who takes the story back to the Cretaceous period 70 million years ago. Patchi is the smallest of his litter of Pachyrhinosaurus hatchlings, and is often bullied by his large, proud older brother Scowler. Their father Bulldust is the leader of the herd. Patchi is attacked by a Troodon and receives a distinctive hole in his frill when he ventures outside the nest one morning. Alex, serving as Patchi's mentor, tries to help Patchi impress a female Pachyrhinosaurus named Juniper, but her herd soon migrates south without him. Bulldust soon follows suit, moving his herd to the south, but when they try to pass through a dense forest, they are forced to flee when a forest fire erupts. Taking advantage of the chaos, Gorgon the predatory Gorgosaurus attacks the fleeing Pachyrhinosaurus, and while his pack kills their mother and siblings, Patchi and Scowler witness Gorgon killing Bulldust.

Millions of years ago, a titanic terror from another realm arrived to destroy the planet Earth. Named Desghidorah, this three-headed dragon was forced to deal with resistance in the form of a species of highly advanced, enormous moths. These monsters were the protectors of the Elias, a race of tiny, humanlike beings who inhabited the planet. After the ensuing battle, Desghidorah was defeated and sealed within the Earth, although a great deal of life on the planet Earth was lost. Three Elias sisters, Moll, Lora and Belvera, were all who were left of their once prosperous civilization. Though the benevolence of Moll and Lora was undeterred, Belvera became twisted and vengeful due to the mass extinction of her race. These tiny fairies, along with one final guardian named Mothra, lingered on for thousands of millenniums. To preserve her species, Mothra created an egg in 1996; however, she became physically exhausted from the ordeal. Shortly thereafter, a logging company uncovered the subterranean prison of the demonic space beast that had ravaged the Earth so long ago. When the seal that had bound the creature was removed from the area, one of the workers of the company took it home and gave it to his young daughter, Wakaba, as a souvenir. Seizing the advantage, Belvera controls Wakaba and uses her to torment her brother Taiki, reminding Belvera of her hatred towards her sisters.

After Andy Flynn destroyed the original Sharktopus (a half-shark half-octopus creature), its various pieces floated back out into the ocean. However, among the scattered anatomy was an egg sack and marine biologist Lorena finds herself the ward of the creature's sole offspring which she begins raising at her uncle's aquarium to mixed success. Meanwhile, Dr. Rico Symes is hard at work on his own biological weapon. After harvesting a pterodactyl's DNA, he used the DNA from a barracuda to fill in the gaps, creating a monster that can terrorize land, sea, and air. Things are looking pretty good during the initial test flight until the creature is hijacked by a rogue engineer, looking to sell it the highest bidder. He probably would have gotten away with it if he didn't spill his coffee all over his console, but now the Pteracuda is free to rampage the coast in search of food.
