Review of Apocalypto (2006) by Emma G — 25 Nov 2018
Apocalypto follows one person- a young man named Jaguar Paw who has his entire village razed to the ground by an enemy clan during the end of the Mayan era. He is taken as a prisoner and the entire film is an escape journey featuring some of the most raw and graphic images ever put on film.
The filmmakers went so far as to even create a new language- now this is dedication. Apocalypto is a masterpiece. In twenty odd years it will be considered the most underrated film of the noughties. Mel Gibson sets the film during the last phase of the great Mayan civilization and you, as an audience are literally transported to the time and location.
