Saw it, very graphically violent throughout. Good cinematography, good acting, real good bad guys, average movie.

Re: Apocolypto
This movie has been having teaser trailers as far back as when Saw II came out. I wonder if it was really worth that much hype.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Re: Apocolypto
It's more his fascination with directing stories of some historical significance.
Most stories of interest in the past seem to have a strong relationship with violence.
I doubt people would want to watch a movie that is only about the Mayan Civilization's rise. Conflict is interesting."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: Apocolypto
If you knew anything about the Mayan, Aztec or Incan history you would realize that this movie is probably g-rated compared to what went on in these civilizations. While they were extremely advanced they were also very blood thirsty when it came to their religion.Comment

Re: Apocolypto
It was a good action flick, but if you want to see a movie about the Mayan civilization, go watch the history channel... the actual civilization shots is very short in this picture. Basically, it's Braveheart but with Mayans.Comment

Re: Apocolypto
This is an action flick. hardly anything about the mayan civilization itself. braveheart comparison is in relation to the tight camera work, action sequences, gore factor, and not a comparison about storyline, historical accuracy, etc. But i went in thinking it'll be about the civ itself, not about a single main character.Last edited by rubisco43; 12-19-2006, 08:00 AM.Comment
