Apocalypto

**MrNightly** · 12-15-2006 12:34 PM

So... who has seen it?

I'm intrigued. It received 5 outta 5 stars and said it's his best film ever. A pure masterpiece.

Anyone???

Excellent film. Realistic action and good storyline along with very good cinemagraphy. Lots of blood and cruelty so it's not for the weak. If you don't fall into that category then this is a must see movie.

Awesome movie. Great action/adventure flick.

**avelanchefan** · 04-19-2007 10:21 PM

Just saw this and I have to say that it was one of the better films that I have seen all year. Very intense and it left me very satisfied at the end. Just spectacular, cannot wait for the DVD release in May.

**Sherardp** · 04-19-2007 11:14 PM

Cant wait to see it on HD format, I know its going to be awesome.

**Face** · 04-19-2007 11:42 PM

I wonder if the where's waldo will make the HDDVD?

**Sherardp** · 04-20-2007 03:05 AM

Are you kidding or what Face?

**cstpeter** · 04-20-2007 03:11 AM

Great flick...one of the better action flicks I've seen in a while.

Wow. All I can say is Wow... if you haven't seen this masterpiece yet, go get it tonight!

I will have to write more later, but wow...

**Toxis** · 05-26-2007 01:02 AM

saw this in the theater. WELLLLLLL worth the watch. Not sure if I'd want to rewatch it so it's not high on my Want To Own list but it sure is a great movie.

Steve McQueen, "The Great Escape"

While "The Great Escape" was spectacular in its time, Mel Gibson's flick is just out of this world good... if you haven't seen it yet, go rent it now!

I was extremely engrossed, and never wanted to look away from the screen. The attention to detail was amazing, and it was one of those few stories that actually pulled you in, and your heart raced wondering what was going to happen... It's been a while since that happened with a film.

The subtitles were not excessive and I'd say a good third of the film was body language and unspoken language.

The PQ and SQ were second to none. The bass in a few scenes were so deep it just filled the room.

It left you with a sense of happiness when it was over, just terrific filming.

10 outta 10 stars here.

I cant' wait to see it. Your quotes of WOW struck a memory cell of Steve McQueen when he, James Garner and the other guy just finished making the moonshine and were tasting it before sharing with the other POWs.

Excellent cinematography, overall! great acting and story. I kept my engaged thoroughout the movie, I have watched it out 3 times in the past 48 hours. SD quality is so good that it is very close to HD on my Oppo and PE. This one is a Blockbuster rental, but I would have bought the HD-DVD if they have it today. BR owners should put this one on the list, hell, I would even buy the BR player to watch it on Hi-Def.

I have yet to be dissapointed by Mel's movies. I owned The Patriot, Braveheart, and thoughts a must have collections.

**aaharvel** · 05-27-2007 06:34 PM

awesome movie - personally I think Mel Gibson's a genius.

**avelanchefan** · 05-27-2007 07:33 PM

I agree fellas, this was one of the most underated films of the year. I think if Hollywood did not hate Mel so much it would have won some awards.

genius no, but a great film maker, yes. lol

**DesertPilot** · 05-28-2007 08:41 AM

My wife and I watched it in Blu Ray using a Samsung 1200 player. This is an awesome movie - much better than the reviewers led me to believe.

I watched yesterday also, sick movie. The LFE was awesome on the PB12 plus 2, my whole room was pressurized, could literally feel the bass. Definitely a title I will watch again. BR had awesome PQ/SQ.

**F1nut** · 05-31-2007 07:09 PM

This one gets my seal of approval. One of the better movies I've seen in awhile. It pulls you in and doesn't let go, even when heads roll.

In this day and age, where most movies use the soundtrack in an attempt to cover up a really bad story and even worse acting, this movie would still be great with the mute function engaged. Mel is an effing genius!

**scottvamp** · 05-31-2007 07:46 PM

Was going to pass this one up. I'm not a Mel fan at all, but this one seems worth checking out......

If it makes you feel any better, he doesn't play a role in the flick, he's just the director.

I liked it ALOT. Very good.

**venomclan** · 06-02-2007 09:51 AM

Great flick.
I don't like the man very much much, but he had good directing skills.

Great movie; lots of crazy stuff, though I bet not too far from what really happened in those civilizations.

**XJRGUY** · 06-10-2007 10:45 PM

The DTS track was excellent.

We watched it last night at low volume levels and the steering was spot on.

LFE was done very well too.

**icky4** · 06-13-2007 06:11 PM

I really want to see this movie. All of Mel Gibson's other movies are good so far...

**hearingimpared** · 07-10-2007 08:42 PM

Awesome, gripping movie. . . my wife was yelling at and cheering on Jaguar Paw his whole flight!
