Description:
From Mel Gibson, director of THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST and the Academy Award®-winning BRAVEHEART (Best Director, Best Picture, 1995) comes the thrilling historical epic APOCALYPTO. This intense, nonstop action-adventure transports you to an ancient South American civilization, for an experience unlike anything you’ve ever known. In the twilight of the mysterious Mayan culture, young Jaguar Paw is captured and taken to the great Mayan city where he faces a harrowing end. Driven by the power of his love for his wife and son, he makes an adrenaline-soaked, heart-racing escape to rescue them and ultimately save his way of life. Filled with unrelenting action and stunning cinematography, APOCALYPTO is an enthralling and unforgettable film experience.'

Amazon.com:
Forget any off-screen impressions you may have of Mel Gibson, and experience Apocalypto as the mad, bloody runaway train that it is. The story is set in the pre-Columbian Maya population: one village is brutally overrun, its residents either slaughtered or abducted, by a ruling tribe that needs slaves and human sacrifices. We focus on the capable warrior Jaguar Paw (Rudy Youngblood), although Gibson skillfully sketches a whole population of characters--many of whom don't survive the early reels. Most of the film is set in the dense jungle, but the middle section, in a grand Mayan city, is a dazzling triumph of design, costuming, and sheer decadent terror. The movie itself is a triumph of brutality, as Gibson lets loose his well-established fascination with bodily mortification in a litany of assaults including impalement, evisceration, snakebite, and bee stings. It's a dark, disgusted vision, but Gibson doesn't forget to apply some very canny moviemaking instincts to the violence--including the creation of a tremendous pair of villains (strikingly played by Raoul Trujillo and Rodolfo Palacias). The film is in a Maya dialect, subtitled in English, and shot on digital video (which occasionally betrays itself in some blurry quick pans). Amidst all the mayhem, nothing in the film is more devastating than a final wordless exchange of looks between captured villager Blunted (Jonathan Brewer) and his wife's mother (Maria Isabel Diaz), a superb change in tone from their early relationship. Yes, this is an obsessive, crazed movie, but Gibson knows what he's doing. --Robert Horton

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Apocalypto is Vivid
A decent adventure film, by no means as bloody as Mayan history would lead one to expect. But not complex -- most of the movie is a chase film.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great film
The violence is a bit much and is the only reason why its not a 5 star for me. I could hardly sit still through most of it. It's definately high octane and loaded with suspense. The visuals are great, wonderful directiion. Whatever you might think of Gibson, one thing is clear: he's a wonderful filmmaker.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Visual Buffet!
Don't bother reading what misinformed people wrote in their one star reviews of this film. I would expect that of those who do not do their homework and understand what Mel Gibson was making. First, this is NOT a story suggesting that the Mayans were defeated by Europeans because they were primitive and corrupt. Secondly, its NOT a film suggesting that only through the coming of Europeans were they made better. Gibson clearly stated in interviews that the film's theme is how civilizations can ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An awesome thriller
I rank this movie up there with The Departed and Gladiator. Amazing adrenaline rush. Great plot and good depiction of the demise of the Mayan culture. This should have atleast been an Oscar contender for best picture of the year.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Much Better than Anticipated
I have a lot of respect for Mel Gibson's historical story-telling ability. The depth and detail seems to increase with each film. However, I find his use of gore and violence to be excessive. With Apocalypto, again Mel Gibson seems to surpass himself in the creation of this story and the use of incredible detail. Bloodshed has not been excessive which makes for a much more refined picture. And the ending ... I will not comment on such a beautiful surprise. This is an excellent, thoughtful, and ... Read More
