Btw this movie has a fukkin 64 percent on rotten tomatoes????? Wtf???

how does one watch this movie and NOT walk away from it wanting to reccomend it???

what is there not to like? could it be the graphic imagery? Beyond that isn't this pretty much an expertly crafted film?
I remember starting to watch this movie when it dropped and only got to about 20 mins and turned it off. Can't remember why. :ohhh:I think cause it was so graphic.

:ld:I'm gonna have to give it another try.
On :smoker:

when i first watched the movie, it was back when there was no instant netflix and being the moviehead I was decided to try it out for a month, my pops had also just got an 80 or 90 something inch DLP TV (i'm too high to remember the exact size, but its big as fukk) and I had a PS3 as a bluray player. Apocalypto was one of the first movies I got for it, I specifically looked for visually striking films because it was my first time really experiencing blurays on a really nice TV, the fountain was another one I ordered for example (hated the movie but the visuals were nice). I usually like a nice cannabis buzz for a movie but I usually don't like to get in that "I'm too high" stage, but I was there for this one, and saying I almost had a panic attack was no hyperbole, because I was so high I was thinking about how in the past, this ACTUALLY HAPPENED to someone. It's known they did human sacrifices in this manner. So somewhere in the past of the human race, some human actually experienced and went through what was being presented in this movie, and obviously the visuals were absolutely incredible, I literally damn near had a full blown panic attack, after that scene was over I had to pause the movie and get a glass of cold water.
:wow:

But :russ: because I know that feeling ...

Yea but we still know that Jaguar Paw and his entire nation were wiped out, regardless of how he looked at the ship. It was called Apocalypto for a reason

it's a great film but the above sentiments is why the movie is considered a propaganda piece by many cause it made the Mayans look like a bunch of blood thirsty slave trading and raping scumbags who took advantage of weaker tribes so they deserved what they had coming to them from the Spanish. There is no evidence that the Mayans conducted large scale sacrifices and slavery like what was depicted in the movie and they didn't raid smaller tribes or villagers for human sacrifices, most of them came from elites and warriors they captured from other warring Mayan cities. Also by the time the Spanish arrived Mayan society dramatically changed and most of them abandoned the cities to live in villages and small towns.

This. The so-called white man...that includes the so-called Jewish (who not the real Jews). They use movies like this as propaganda to absolve themselves from the wickedness they have committed since 1492. Why don't they make a movie of what the so-called white man did when they got here. They didn't show you the genocide and the Encomienda (slavery of the natives). They fed natives to dogs, ripped babies out o pregnant women's stomachs, chopped hands off if quota wasn't met, burned people alive and all manner of wickedness...stuff that they documented themselves. They are not going to get away it. They think because the punishment has not come immediately that it will never come...but when it comes, it will be as if they never had power.

Definately a GREAT movie...saw it years ago and I was blown away by it....

IMO it is definitely one of the best movies in the last 25 years...totally underrated.

And if I may say....it is the BEST movie I have ever seen on Blu-Ray
