## Description

Forget any off-screen impressions you may have of Mel Gibson, and experience Apocalypto as the mad, bloody runaway train that it is. The story is set in the pre-Columbian Maya population: one village is brutally overrun, its residents either slaughtered or abducted, by a ruling tribe that needs slaves and human sacrifices. We focus on the capable warrior Jaguar Paw (Rudy Youngblood), although Gibson skillfully sketches a whole population of characters--many of whom don't survive the early reels. Most of the film is set in the dense jungle, but the middle section, in a grand Mayan city, is a dazzling triumph of design, costuming, and sheer decadent terror. The movie itself is a triumph of brutality, as Gibson lets loose his well-established fascination with bodily mortification in a litany of assaults including impalement, evisceration, snakebite, and bee stings. It's a dark, disgusted vision, but Gibson doesn't forget to apply some very canny moviemaking instincts to the violence--including the creation of a tremendous pair of villains (strikingly played by Raoul Trujillo and Rodolfo Palacias). The film is in a Maya dialect, subtitled in English, and shot on digital video (which occasionally betrays itself in some blurry quick pans). Amidst all the mayhem, nothing in the film is more devastating than a final wordless exchange of looks between captured villager Blunted (Jonathan Brewer) and his wife's mother (Maria Isabel Diaz), a superb change in tone from their early relationship. Yes, this is an obsessive, crazed movie, but Gibson knows what he's doing. --Robert Horton Mel Gibson's highly respected and multi-Oscar nominated historical epic set in the ancient Mayan civilization. Jaguar Paw (Rudy Youngblood) is the son of tribal leader Flint Sky (Morris Birdyellowhead) and when their village is viciously attacked by the a raiding party under Zero Wolf (Raoul Trujillo), he witnesses his father's murder. Jaguar Paw manages to make safe his wife and child in an underground pit with a lone vine for its escape route. He and the other men fight gamely but are brought to heel by Zero Wolf's men. As the raiding party marches their prisoners off the escape vine is cut, trapping mother and child underground. The prisoners are taken to a sacrificial pyramid to prepare for a solar eclipse at which many of them will be brutally and gruesomely dissected. The remaining few (including Jaguar Paw) are let loose in a wide field for sport - Zero Wolf's men raining spears, stones and arrows on them. Jaguar Paw negotiates the suicidal run and, though injured, bypasses a raider 'finisher', Zero Wolf's son, Cut Rock, by killing him. An enraged Zero Wolf pursues Jaguar Paw into the jungle with his fellow raiders. Can Jaguar Paw reach his dying family before the murderous Zero Wolf reaches him?

Review: Amazingly Underrated - So...I went into this with conflicting feelings. I asked around and got mixed reviews from nearly everyone I asked. I was told things like 'It's just gory, there's nothing great about it' to 'It was really intense.' The truth is, it's all up to the viewer. You can see this as a gore filled film that's not dialogue heavy, a gritty look at how beliefs can lead to destruction of lives or even just a great chase film. I enjoyed it, after the cgi heavy movies that keep coming out it was nice to see something that didn't really have that. Sets were made, I think there was an animatronic like animal used at one point. The story has been done before, main character gets captured, his world is shattered and he must find his way back home, if you've seen 10,000 BC then you know what I mean. What this film does differently is that at some moments the 'villains' are almost relatabley human, they're not seen as these untouchable gods of destruction. I actually liked the pack leader of our band of 'bad guys', he was relatable and almost like our main characters opposite in a way, the two view points of their lives complemented each other. It didn't feel overdone set wise either, in fact I don't know what I was expecting but set wise I was really surprised at the choices. In many ways, this film seems really underrated. I had only heard about it in passing and I'm glad I managed to find the time to see it. At the end of the day, it was a good film, well shot and well paced. Characters motives were done well and didn't feel clunky or like it was done just because they wanted it to be cool. Maybe there were a few cultural inaccuracies but it was not as bad as some films I've seen that border on insulting.And that ending, whoo!
Review: An absolutely stunning experience - This is what blu-ray presentation was made for. An absolutely stunning film that uses the technology to the full. Every rustle of the grass, every whisker of the jaguar's face, was picked out with astonishing clarity. I almost felt I had to wipe the humidity of the jungle off my brow as I watched it. The story is a straightforward tale of a community ripped apart by violent outsiders and the struggle for one of its inhabitants to flee from his captors and return to his doomed family. But it is in such simplicity that the story is made. The villains are bad beyond redemption and you long for their deaths, you root for the hero from the moment he is taken, and you prey for a happy ending to his plight - may his family be saved. Gibson knows exactly what he is doing and the viewer actually cares about what they are watching. Before viewing the movie, I was troubled about the level of violence contained in the film and, whilst there is undoubtedly some gore - ripping out a beating heart is never going to be pretty - I found nothing that wasn't essential to the plot or added to the menacing atmosphere of the period depicted. Don't let the lurid tales put you off. As an archaeologist, I was also drawn into the debate about authenticity but such thoughts were quickly banished by the pulsating intensity and sheer brilliance of the film. Similarly, the subtitles are forgotten and the foreign language even adds to the feeling that what you are witnessing is real; this actually happened. Apocalypto is stunning - an experience rather than a movie.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We all love the DVD - So is it worth getting the Blu Ray?
*by T***H on 25 June 2010*

I remember being blown away by this film when it first cam out. It's long running time seemed to pass in minutes and it wasn't long before this masterpiece was over and I was left stunned. If your haven't seen this film yet - you must - and Blu Ray is the perfect platform for it. But what of those - who like me - have already seen it and own a copy on DVD? Is it worth buying it again on Blu Ray? The simple answer is yes. And especially at this great price. This, quite simply is one of the sort of things Blu Ray is meant for. The Jungle seems to come alive as birds tweet and flys seem to buzz around your surround sound speakers. The scenery is staggeringly beautiful and the jungle seems that much lusher and denser now we can see it in stunning detail. The colour of the sky and the costumes at the temple scene seem vivd, and the people covered in white chalk dust at the mines, and the men painted blue for sacrifice seem to spring from the screen in their vibrancy. The manufacturers of the DVD seem to realise this too, and one of the extras on the Blu Ray is a selection of 'best for Blu Ray' chapters: an option that takes you straight to scenes from the film that look spectacular on Blu Ray and show off what this format is all about (no doubt this will be being used a lot by shops up and own the country trying to sell you all new TVs) To sum up, Apocalypto is as stunning and enjoyable film at the best of times - but those times just got even better. And at this incredible price of under £7 - they just got even, even, even, better again! [...]
