Apocalypto demonstrates two things: that Mel Gibson is a hell of a filmmaker and that his imaginative world borders on the Neanderthal.

Apocalypto is a strange but largely entertaining mix of action, bloodletting, chin-rubbing and arthouse trimmings.

It's escapism - the world would be a lot safer if good and evil were so clearly defined - and it's something that Mel Gibson proves (once again) that he does very, very well in Apocalypto.

It's Gibson's taste for carnage that defeats him in the end. The brutality is relentless, and the many ways in which blood is spilt so ingenious, that it's numbing. Once the adrenaline rush subsides, there's nothing left.

Oct 01, 2016I don't know if there is a better example of dedication in filmmaking out there than there is in Apocalypto. Brilliant, if overrated.Gimly M Super Reviewer

May 26, 2013'Apocalypto' (2006) is a realistic and deep glimpse into ancient Mayan civilization. Without a doubt, it's shot at its best and goes to show you that big-headed Mel Gibson does have directing skills up his sleeves.Noah N Super Reviewer

Oct 27, 2012Rent this -- don't buy it. That way you'll feel less digusted with yourself for seeing a Mel Gibson film. Otherwise, it's excellent.Christian C Super Reviewer
Apocalypto Quotes
| Flint Sky: | I am Flint Sky. I have hunted this forest from the day I came of age. My father hunted this forest with me and before me. Jaguar Paw, my son. He hunts this forest with me. He will hunt it with his son after I am gone. |
| Jaguar Paw: | I'm sorry. The balls are useless. |
| Oracle Girl: | You fear me? So you should. All you who are vile. Would you like to know how you will die? The sacred time is near. Beware the blackness of day. Beware the man who brings the jaguar. Behold him reborn from mud and earth. For the one he takes you to will cancel the sky, and scratch out the earth. Scratch you out. And end your world. He's with us now. Day will be like night. And the man jaguar will lead you to your end. |
| Jaguar Paw: | I am Jaguar Paw. This is my forest. And I am not afraid. |
