Very well done. Mel Gibson's talent for directing almost exceeds that for acting. A great story and a great visual presentation. Definitely worth checking out.

One of the best dramas ever made! Made me involved in the plot. So realistically and brilliantly directed by Mel Gibson, it's a film I would watch over and over again! I thought I was part of the plot until the movie ended.

Apocalypto is period piece set in the decline of the Mayan civilization. Gibson gives us a two-part film with an interesting look into the Mayan culture and then turning the film into "The Fugitive" ,just set in the jungle. This film was criticized for several reasons, and yes it's flawed, but nevertheless it's a great cinematic achievement and it didn't deserve to be lampooned by critics. This is not a movie to miss.

I normally do not like action-type movies, but I could not peel my eyes from this movie. From the very beginning I was drawn into the story line, the characters were strongly built and the cinematography was amazing. Gibson made me feel like I was part of the movie. I would recommend this movie to even the biggest movie snobs.
What's great about it: plot, actors, cinematography

This movie had a very different story line, which got my interest. The cast was chosen perfectly and the layout of the movie was proper. I really liked how they spoke a different language from english, to make the film seem more realistic. Great buy for anyone, other than kids.

Gibson really makes his mark as a director with this superb film. It looked great in the theater, and at home on your big screen Blu ray, it jumps out at you until you feel that you have gone back in time with the characters. The story is essentially about the end of the Mayan civilization told through the very personal story of a man chosen as a sacrifice. However, no one review can really describe the story as it is felt and seen by each viewer. Watching this film is a visceral experience. It is beautifully shot, well acted by native characters for authenticity, and its action sequences are vivid and tense. From the moment it begins until the end, it holds one's attention and never lets go. The film is violent and graphic, and may be too intense for some, especially small children. However, none of the violence is gratuitous. It is all part of the story and never seems over the top. This film is quite an experience for any true film fan, especially those interested in historical action movies. I highly recommend it!
What's great about it: Beautifully shot, well acted, fascinating
What's not so great: May be too violent and graphic for some

Apocalypto is a great movie about Mayan civilization. The action is amazing and keeps you guessing. Definitely not a movie to let the kids watch- all characters are wearing practicaly nothing, blood is abundant, and it's in Mayan with english subtitles- but the plot is great and there are several humerous parts in the drama-laden plot. As far as I know, it is mostly historically correct. Overall a great movie with great characters and actors and an amazing plot.
