Apocalypto
1 of 2 found this helpful A great story which shows the effects of the blood thirsty Mayan civilization on other indigenous tribes. The main character, Jaguar Paw, does whatever it takes to get back to his pregnant wife and young son. The chase for Jaguar Paw is thrilling and riveting. Rudy Youngblood does a great job in that role. In fact, I thought, the entire casting was superb. The jungle setting has been beautifully captured on film. As for the violence, it is a realistic representation of what is known to have actually occurred. It is nothing compared to some other recent hit movies. The fact that this film uses their original language made it more realistic and the subtitles are really no bother. I enjoyed this movie so much I watched it twice and I would see it again. In my opinion the story, acting and cinematography are all excellent.
