Apocalypto

Rating: 8.4/10
Genre: Action
Overall value for money and time: 8.7/10

Another of Mel Gibson's production after "The Passion of the Christ". Not only is Mel Gibson a good actor, he's apparently a very good director as well. Both movies are well made. While "The Passion of the Christ" is more gory, personal and emotional to some, "Apocalypto" is one tribal warfare movie that's the cream of the crop. "The New World" is another tribal movie that doesn't even come close to the superiority of "Apocalypto". You won't go wrong with this movie, this is one movie that will easily work it's way to the hearts of its viewers. A young tribal man is caught and is to be sacrificed to the gods. However, he manages to escape his fate just to be hunted down by the finest tribesmen. This movie is about determination, self preservation and of course the survival of the fittest, perhaps not so much the fittest in this movie. This is one hell of a movie that will leave you singing praises of it 10 years from now, maybe longer. A great memorable film that will leave you at the edge of your seats till the very last minute. I just love this movie! Truly a work of art!
