Apocalypto

The script is of excellent technique. It seems that they listed the most grotesque situations imaginable and then ordered them from least to greatest impact on the audience. The problem is that the actions credited to the Mayans were very extreme and unrealistic. Ignoring that, the film is good, with a charismatic cast, great direction and great visual effects, especially those of the wild animals.

astounding, brilliantly violent, beautifully acted

Mel Gibson is a genius .. that's all I have to say about that .

This movie is more dope than you think. Very Mayan and Aztec mix. Better than any other one I've seen. The actors legit look native and me being from central american can honestly say that it look legit. Unless you like super fake in a studio jungle then is not for you.

Amazing. A compelling story can be told with no dialogue and brilliant acting skills and amazing physical fitness. Bravo Mel Gibson. What will he think of next?

Well worth watching to remind yourself as to how lucky we all are in the US to live such safe and easy lives nowadays and how things could become just like they used to be, survival of the strongest with no feelings of morales or ethics or fairness or justice.

The film seems to promise an exploration of imperial decay, but ultimately delivers relentless violence and a long chase through the jungle that is exhausting for the protagonist and audience alike. While thoughtfully cast, the potential is wasted by the screenplay's lack of character development. Instead, the audience is treated to a typical Mel Gibson feature defined by one-dimensionality. Having seen this once, I have no desire to watch it again.

This movie is fantastic. Gory, yes, but still fantastic. Some people disliked the movie because it was subtitled. I've been watching foreign films for a long time, so that was not a consideration for me.

It's very immersive and convincing. Its also a damning view of mankind because all we really do as a species is consume and destroy. I thought the acting was really good and I loved the ending. Mainly though I just loved how I was pulled into their world. The jungle. It's breathtaking.

I've been to Tulum and it was nothing like this movie.
