| Pros |
Gibson's fantastic direction, epic quality, violence, thrilling, superb acting-need I go on?! |
| Cons |
Obviously Hollywoodized, but who cares at this point? |
| Bottom Line |
Apocalypto is a movie that stays with you. The filmmakers meticulously stayed close to the material and brought a story that's still relevant in today's world. |

Extreme violence, bloodshed and savagery. Not for the squemish. |
| Bottom Line |
This is an enduring masterpiece of anthropological, if not historical, recreation. It must be seen to be beleived. Six stars. |
