Review

 

Mel Gibson returns to the director's chair with this thrilling historical epic. Set in the twilight of Mayan culture young Jaguar Paw is captured and taken to the great Mayan city, where he faces a harrowing end. Driven by the power of his love for his wife and son, he makes an adrenaline-soaked, heart-racing escape to rescue them and ultimately save his way of life.

Filled with unrelenting action and stunning cinematography, Apocalypto is an enthralling and unforgettable film experience.

Don't let the fact that this film is subtitled put you off. If anything it adds to the realism and also illustrates from the beginning, that just because these jungle natives are from a completely different background and culture than most modern civilizations today, that they do not have a sense of humour.
However the film then turns to a very suspicious and frightening nature.
So much so that I felt like the hunted as "Jaguar Paw" was.
You never know what to expect next in his determination to return to his wife and sons.
The colours and camera work are absolutely stunning and full due credit to Mel Gibson who did a brilliant job in writing, producing and directing this masterpiece.
This is the best film I have seen in decades and I encourage anyone of the correct age for the film to watch it.
