Quick Review


Published:16 June 2007

The good:Using indigenous actors and the original Yucatec language gives Apocalypto a grippingly authentic feel, Gibson and Safinia’s subtle approach to the collapse of the Mayan civilisation, the exhilarating extended chase sequence that closes the movie

The bad:Gibson should have cut 10-15 minutes from the meandering second act, the clumsy religious analogy in the final scenes, some particularly gruesome scenes may leave viewers feeling queasy

Verdict:Gibson has a created a gore fest with a grippingly authentic feel
