No doubt, an amazing movie directed by the one and only Mel Gibson. Starting from the story to the acting to cinematography, everything is very realistic and top notch which makes this movie a must watch for all film enthusiasts. Loved the movie and I have watched it more than 5 times - Sujan Azad Parikh.

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.

Pretty well done adventure with a story that can almost be believed. There are quite a few things that I don't believe are accurate but are holding on because they don't impede the story. A story of survival. The first part with the taking of prisoners reminded me of the Mohawks. They were like that.

"Apocalypto" is a film about the demise of the Mayan civilization. The story revolves around a mesoemedan tribe who has to survive human beings after his village was broken and saved his wife and child...
