From the beginning, Apocalypto feels like you are watching a National Geographic special on ancient Indian cultures. The characters, makeup, and cinematography are all very authentic. The encounters are quite brutal but no more than in other movies. On the negative side, the storyline seems reproduced; it's a stereotypical movie plot and is actually unexpected in such an authentic looking movie. Worth watching at least once.

I've heard that some people aren't seeing this movie because it is a product of Mel Gibson. I understand because I've never really cared for Mel Gibson's work either, but oddly enough this turned out to be one of my favorite movies. It's spoken in another language which just adds to the realism. And you really begin to cheer for the main character as he makes it through obstacle after obstacle. The scenery is also gorgeous. pretty violent though so probably nobody under 13-14. this is a must see!!!
What's great about it: incredible acting, heart pounding action

from MI
I first saw this movie in the theator and it was good, I saw it later on DVD then saw it on Blu Ray and the Blu Ray version looked the best. Now on to what I thought about the movie. I'll point out now, that it is subtitiled. This doesn't bother me but I know it does bother some people. The story is about the Mayan dying civilization and a man and his family who fall victim to a raiding party. the raiding party captures people to sacrifice to make the gods happy so the People of the Sun will stop suffering. Unfortunately for Jaguars Paw, the main character, his village is going to have to be those people that bleed for the gods. To top everything off his wife and kid were left in danger and he knows he has to escape and save them. The reason I liked this movie so much is that the hero of the story is a regular guy, he doesn't bust out in a karate fight with the bad guys, he gets hurt sometimes and he doesn't always outsmart the villians. All in all this was a good movie. Some people will say some of the stuff was far fetched but so is every other movie, I was entertained and I think you would be to.
What's great about it: The Cinematography was beautiful, cool story

Verified Purchase:Yes
I watch movies to be entertained. Therefore, I usually shy away from movies in which I have to read subtitles. I am not illiterate, I just already do plenty of other reading and choose not to read movies as well. This movie is an exception. It is so entertaining that I gladly read the subtitles in order to watch it. The main character faces and overcomes an incredible struggle through sheer will and perseverance.
