Forget any off-screen impressions you might have of Mel Gibson, and knowledge Apocalypto as the mad, full of blood exile sight that it is. The story is set in the pre-Columbian Maya population: one encampment is brutally overrun, the residents possibly slaughtered or abducted, by a statute clan that needs slaves and tellurian sacrifices. We concentration on the able soldier Jaguar Paw (Rudy Youngblood), nonetheless Gibson decently sketches a total race of characters–many of whom do not tarry the early reels. Most of the movie is set in the unenlightened jungle, but the center section, in a grand Mayan city, is a gorgeous delight of design, costuming, and perfect decadent terror. The movie itself is a delight of brutality, as Gibson lets lax his timeless mindfulness with corporeal penance in a litany of assaults together with impalement, evisceration, snakebite, and bee stings. It’s a dark, troubled vision, but Gibson doesn’t dont think about to request a little really shrewd moviemaking instincts to the violence–including the origination of a extensive span of villains (strikingly played by Raoul Trujillo and Rodolfo Palacias). The movie is in a Maya dialect, subtitled in English, and shot on digital video (which spasmodic betrays itself in a little becloud discerning pans). Amidst all the mayhem, zero in the movie is some-more harmful than a last speechless sell of looks in between prisoner villager Blunted (Jonathan Brewer) and his wife’s mom (Maria Isabel Diaz), a glorious shift in tinge from their early relationship. Yes, this is an obsessive, demented movie, but Gibson knows what he’s doing. –Robert Horton

Do not waste one penny of your money or one minute of your life on this sickening, psychotic, repulsive piece of garbage! Spend your money on ANYTHING ELSE & you will be better off. Who, other than Mel Gibson, or the next Jeffrey Dahmer could watch this & find it entertaining?

This could be a excellent movie if it was in english and not just english subtitles…Wake up mel enough is enough.

He obviously gets off on carnage. This pointless and grossly historically distorting, chauvinistic flick is another proof of it. I gave it one star for some beautiful scenery.

I was actually excited about this movie from the previews. I thought it was going to show the chain of events that led to the downfall of the Mayan civilization. Instead, it was a movie that followed one guy for pretty much one day.
There were no twists or surprises, pretty much every “twist and turn” was exactly what you would have expected, and the big surprise ending was lame and didn’t really fit into any of it. However, if the ending was the beginning and it went from there, might have been a good movie.
The makeup was horrible, it basically looked like like someone held a stick to a person’s nose using play dough and called it makeup.
I will admit there were some moments in the film where I laughed, but I was later told it was very inappropriate of me. Oh yeah, on another note, lots of men without pants on. Not exactly the highlight of the film.
In all honestly, the most entertaining part of the film was the credits when I saw one of the people’s real name is Birdyellowhead.

The one star rating is meaningless – I had to give the film some rating to submit the review.
This film may be wonderful. I wouldn’t know. I do my best not to buy or watch work from rabid racist anti-semites. I haven’t seen Triumph of the Will or Olypiad. Most likely am missing some very important visual art. And I most likely have bought, used and seen all sorts of work by people who were/are racists.Just try my best not to support such people. There are enough film and other masterpieces out there that I will never have time to experience them all. I will never have the time – after all, starting all the wars – and he meant it – is a rather considerable undertaking.
