Apocalypto

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

After “Braveheart” and “Passion of the Christ”, Mel Gibson gives us another ancient history lesson, but this time detailing the Mayan people and their culture. Gibson brings to life a dead civilization with vivid visuals and raw realism. A tribe’s peaceful community life is shattered when they are savagely attacked and captured. We follow one man’s struggle to survive and protect his family. Adding to the film’s authenticity, only ancient Mayan is spoken with English subtitles, but don’t worry because much of the plot is instinct driven. This movie is not for the squeamish due to the brutal violence and bloody sacrifices. Alien did enjoy this intense jungle thrill ride on Gibson’s time machine back to a fascinating world, long gone except for their immense pyramids left as symbols of their existence.

Alien gives it 3 ½ “Jaguar Paw” stars out of 4.
