You just have to see this movie, gory,bloody,violent but with a story behind it. Mel Gibson has another blockbuster with this one

This film is well worth the effort. The first 15 mins or so can be a bit tedious but then it opens out into a belter of a movie.

This film is indeed a great film... even though it's subbed it doesn't distract from the film. It is a must see in my opinion.

The first half an hour was not sure about the subtitles but after a bit you get hooked. Very good film not the normal old american stuff.

I think Mel may have a thing for raw violence, looka at Passion of the Christ..very explicit violence and now Apocalypto.
Both are still excellent movies but not for the faint hearted

I saw it a couple of days ago and thought it was excellent. Recommend it to anyone, as long as they're not scared of reading subtitles..

I dont think that anyone would be scared of reading subtitles, I dont like reading films because any film that I have watched with subtitles before has had class reviews and they were all crap. The motorcycle diaries was one from last year that I can think of.

I agree with Afzal . This has got to be one of the movies of the year. It has Oscar winner all over it. Except for Mel's performance with the police ...lol ;)

I think it's well worth the effort m8. Good story imho. Dont know if it came from ancient Mayan folklore, or not?
But it puts you right there, and then!

Great film ..... but fairly simple and kinda boring storyline ..... just a basic chase movie .....

Would have loved to have seen more Mayan/Aztec life and mythology ..... so much potential ..... hopefully there will be a sequel showing how the Spaniards destroyed their civilization .....
