Apocalypto (2006) (http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809249345/info)

Sounds interesting, " my kind of mives" and with Mel Gibson in Directed and Produced, I think it deserve.

I will be out in the UAE by next week as far as I know.

yup it seems intersting.....i've been waiting for this movie :)

I am looking forward to this movie..I love most if not all of mel's movies (Passion of christ, Braveheart , The man without a face).

Looks interesting indeed. Must-Watch.

It seems interesting, I will wait for it.

Its doing pretty well in the US box office. I haven't seen it yet because I can't find anybody to go and watch it with me... most of my friends love the commercial and the leave-your-brain-at-home kinda movies.

If I do watch it anytime soon (before the movie hits Oman) then I'll update here.

As far as I know it will be out this weekend here in the UAE. If so, I will sure Inshallah watch this weekend and come back with my review.

You are invited Shinoda :)

It's out :)

I am going Inshallah either tomorrow, or day after.

i will watch it for sure!
looks interesting!

I'm not sure if I gona 2 see it or not

I'll watch it for sure. Its getting pretty good reviews and well Mel Gibson directed it.. so it has to be good :yes:

I watched it in the cinema today and it was very very good. Gibson has always been excellent with the way he directs his movies and this is no exception and even though there aren't any famous faces in this picture it was performed really well. Not much talking was done which is probably a good thing since it's not in english but the action and chase scenes were really great. Alot of blood though and alot of disturbing scenes..so I don't advise people who can't stand such things to watch it.

I personally really enjoyed it.

9/10

Mel has done it again! This was an amazing movie, I really enjoyed it. Really original, different, raw. And the fact that it is in another language really lifted the movie to another level. You would easily mistake the first time actors with no experience for professionals. Kudos to Gibson for revolutionising movie making.

10/10

I saw it last night. Found it very original and brillant. It really captured some brutal facets of humanity and development. And the top bad guy was so enjoyably hard core. I really liked it.

Interesting how they built pyramids just like the ancient Egyptians.

.. sorry but found it mmmmmm.. nothing special abt it!!

.. got some family members killed.. then took revenge *omen was bad not even proper revenge*!!

2/10

Im looking forward for it.

My sister saw it and said: A VERY Catholic movie...

We're proud of Mel!

I'll wait to see it when it's out on disc...

Cool, anything for Mel Gibson is great.

Interesting how they built pyramids just like the ancient Egyptians.

They aren't pyramids, they're called Ziggurats :)

My sister saw it and said: A VERY Catholic movie...

We're proud of Mel!

I'll wait to see it when it's out on disc...

What did she mean by it's a very catholic movie? I didn't see anything catholic in it lol. And why do you have to wait for it to come out on DVD? Go watch it in the Cinema! It's much better.

Weeeel....what did you make of the end? If you understand the end, you understand what she meant.

Yes, I know, better in the cinema. But we're cheap; we wait til they come out on DVD. :p

I didn't have the chance to see, I was very busy when it was out :(

I will try to find a DVD or any site to see it soon.

I can't imagin that I miss it

They aren't pyramids, they're called Ziggurats :)

Yeah ok whatever, they are pyramids. A pyramid is a geometric shape. Didn't you play with blocks as a kid?

A ziggurat usually refers to ancient mesopotamian terrace pyramids, not the mayan step pyramids.

Anyways it is interesting that 2 completely different civillizations, unknown to each other, separated by oceans and millenia, built PYRAMIDS.

It got released here, you will find it at Al Shatti Plaza, Ruwi & Al Bahja Cinemas.

it seams gr8t ! am sure that am gowin to see it ! ..when it will be out ?

I watched it this afternoon. This is different, not like any other movie, maybe except for Mel Gibson's films. Well done for him.

A great story represented by good actors performance & well made scenes. The shooting was different, the way was kinda like a documentary, maybe because of whatever they were shooting.

Great scenes, some were perfect! A lot of blood & some actions were disturbing. But, I wouldn't mind it here, all to deliver the idea.

I liked the music. 4.9/5.

too much blood

Mel Gibson is pure magic when he directs. From now any movie that he makes is a must see for me. Just excellent.

Too much blood yes, but a story behind all that blood shed, a lesson for us mankind.

Side chat - I think there could be a sequel, since they show the foreigners coming in the end.

Oh by the way - Ronaldinho was just great lol.

to be honest .... i didnt like it that much
to me it was abit boring .. and tooooo disgusting to enjoy xD

I know this sounds OLD

I just had a chance to see it on DVD :p

Just amazing and more than outstanding and the message in the end really a must for human being to understand and be consider !

I loved it and enjoyed every bit of it, ya too much blood, but this is how it is

Mel is just great

10/10

Yeah great movie..

Elizabeth and I watched it for the first time about a week ago and we loved it!

We even let Billy watch it and he loved it too.

Brilliantly done and wonderfully shot.

We have a huge populations of Mayans in the US now from Mexico and Guatemala. And they loved it too. It must be really cool to see a great modern movie on the screens in your own little language that only you and your friends speak!

whos elizabeth and billy ? :)
your mom and your brother ? :)

I also liked it, I think was based on a true history of Aztec people and The Mayor Temple which is till exist and big tourists attraction in Mexico.....cool stuff

Amazing movie! Mel Gibson rules! I did enjoy watching the violence in the movie aswell, it's one of a kind!
