Loved it

I love this movie and am so glad I could find it here on eBay. I couldn’t find it anywhere else. The movie was pretty good quality for the price. It gets a bit choppy here and there but I’m overall satisfied.Read full review

I had already seen this movie a couple of times and knew it was great. Mel Gibson may have issues, but he knows how to make a damn good movie.

First of all, I love the movie and had searched for it for a while because it is out of print. I was thrilled when I discovered I was buying a new copy. It was in perfect condition still in the cellophane. Nothing bad to report. Excellent product in perfect condition.Read full review

Good movie although creative license was taken.

Apocalypto has beautiful cinematography, an edge of your seat story, and a lot going for it. If you are expecting a historically accurate portrayal of The Mayans then this isn't for you. To keep.things brief and knowing that very few movies are historically accurate especially coming from.Hollywood, all that aside and the outrage this movie caused in the State of Yucatan, it is a great movie. I'd highly recommend it as a buy because it is out of print and will not be found on any streaming services.Read full review

Typical Mel Gibson, But Entertaining

This movie is what I call "a typical Mel Gibson", i.e. over the top with graphic death and violence. I had seen Apocalypto before years back, but wanted to see it again. If you like stories (somewhat based upon documented evidence) of pre-European contact America, then this movie is for you. Many scenes are very intense with graphic violence. In all, it is a redeeming movie, for the central character overcomes great odds and becomes his own hero. If you could stomach The Passions of the Christ by Gibson, you can handle this one. The great twist comes at the very end when both the protagonist and the antagonists suddenly find that they each have a new enemy (or problem) far greater than dealing with each other. By the way, this movie is spoken entirely in Native American language - all subtitles.Read full review

Outstanding

At 81, I see this as an outstanding movie with no English dialogue. The settings added to the authenticity of the action. I have never seen a movie or read a book on this particular era and I was left speechless and deeply impressed. Mr. Mel Gibson, I salute you and your outstanding movie. Thank you. Read full review

Apocalypto Starts you thinking about the early history of the Americas and the interaction of indians and european explorers.

My type of Movie. A semi Documentary that keeps you in suspense. Mel Gibson is a talented Actor and Director. My opinion its a Movie that can be watched over and over.
