Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

C_P_Kolkhe This is an excellent film. Detailed and full of history.

danasaunders-19155 Apocalypto is a masterpiece. In twenty odd years it will be considered the most underrated film of the noughties. Mel Gibson sets the film during the last phase of the great Mayan civilization and you, as an audience are literally transported to the time and location. The story follows one person- a young man named Jaguar Paw who has his entire village razed to the ground by an enemy clan. He is taken as a prisoner and the entire film is an escape journey featuring some of the most raw and graphic images ever put on film. The filmmakers went so far as to even create a new language- now this is dedication. If you haven't seen Apocalypto you owe it to yourself to see it as soon as you can- this is art.

muvi-fan-73 What comes to mind first after watching the movie is how the people lived in the past. With reference to that living in today's world has definitely improved. Another example of such cruel world is shown in the movie gladiator. The other thing that comes to mind is the adivasi's, what for example could be the reason that they don't want to connect with the modern world, is shown precisely.Tone, Script & Story: The story is about how an adivasi tribe is looted and captured, despite which one of them escapes, fights back and saves his family.Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: 'Very good' is the term I would use. May it be jungle, waterfall, market place, place of execution and arrival of modern machinery, everything is set nicely.Final Verdict: Example of how adivasi does exist is shown nicely. The ancient world that resembles violence is also picturised well. It is worth watching.

pietclausen Having seen the 7.8 ratings for this movie, I went out of my way to find a copy to view. It's supposed to be an adventure, action and drama, but that's not how I experienced it.The movie should portray the Mayan people and their culture. The Mayan were a 'civilized' nation, having created great building feats and amenities long before the roman empire was able to do the same.Well, this movie has nothing to do with this. What you get is endless savagery, with primitive people running around in the bush doing ferocious killings of other people. Mel Gibson should know better and the purpose of this movie is beyond me. This movie is a good example of distorting history, other than the sacrificial offerings, which this society indeed practiced.
