This movie feels like we are actually transported into the times of Mayan civilization. The big reason is Mel's decision to use the actual language and the hard work they did in costume design. Mel is an extraordinary director. I feel sad that he didn't get any awards for "The Passion" and "Apocalypto," but he has won the hearts of his audience which is above all awards.
As mel said they use real jaguar who is standing for real to jump the man.. I know it was real at first without the behind story. I think he is man trained wild jaguar
Impossível receber um Oscar sobre qualquer filme que coloca a brutalidade dos judeus nua e crua, ou seja, como ela é. Neste filme apocalipyto narra nas entrelinhas finais a chegada dos judeus nas Américas.
No it doesn't. If you actually know anything about that period of history you would 99% of this is movie nowhere near Mayan history or culture. You can't have smallpox in Mayan society, or have Mayan bei g astonished at a city, or starvation on that scale, also the sacrifice was way overboard and more akin to Aztec not Mayan, and then the Spanish come in at the end. He isn't very good at getting history correct. Only have to watch Braveheart to know tell8ng a correct story isn't important
It’s unbelievable just how good this movie is. Most of the actors had no previous experience & the sheer amount of emotion and intensity, 95% of hollywood “greats” cant deliver something like this. This movie has and always will be my number 1.
I am still baffled why Mel Gibson didn't get an oscar for this. 16 years later I am still moved by this movie although it's brutal. It's a complete masterpiece; No one has ever done such a movie.
@Arlette_Fitover40 - Personally, I'm not suprised about it at all. The whole Hollywood (pretty much that would include every movie studio, management (and top level studio executives and so on) - is about perception, politics, statistics regarding the movies, current marketing trends, and so on. Like everything in US. Money and greed, with a bit of marketing here and there. So personally I'm not suprised about it, considering the so called "Hollywood" approach to anything different, or general approach to something like a native population and so on.
Unfortunately, Gibson was being 'blacklisted' by Hollywood at just about the perfectly wrong timing for the movie. I recall it got some nominations but only for things like set design or some technical awards and then was 'shunned' and "that which shall not be spoken". for sure, its just an astonishing movie but for political/social reasons it was 'canceled'
When Mel Gibson made this movie,i realized that making good movie doesnt need famous actor or actress to cast.Choosing a right material or story and a good Director is the key.Braveheart,Patriot,Passion of the Christ,Apocalypto are all great movies.
I agree! I think Mel Gibson is one of the greatest producers of all times! I didnt know who produced some of those movies until after seeing them and I was blown away to find out every movie I absolutely love is produced by Mel Gibson! What an AMAZING mind!!!!
I definitely agree that it's a great movie, but I struggle to think of anything understated about it. The vibrancy and difference of their culture to our own, the violence, the costuming.... all seems blindingly extravagant to me (and the better for it)
I watched this film as a child with my much older cousins. I knew it was something special, 20 years later I still stand by that. Great great piece of cinema.
Same first time I'm watching this masterpiece was when I was 8 but at that time it did gave me traumatized and in such coward as a kids but now watching it again for so many time it make me realize how wonderful this movie are with all the emotional story uniqueness and everything make me love it so much
This movie is in a league of its own. Never seen anything ever like it and probably never will. Stunning cinematography combined with an amazing yet gory story line, easily makes this thriller one of Mel's best!
Just when I was thinking about how to translate these thoughts into English, I came across your comment. You wrote what I was going to write, I don't have to write anymore.
What I appreciate about the gore in this film is that it all makes perfect sense. Everything about the gore is reasonable for the setting. Of course they would use captured and enslaved people as target practice. Of course being impaled would rip the breath from your body. Of course blunt force trauma directly to the temple would involve a little spurt of blood from your temporal lobe. It’s gory as hell, but that’s because these things are realistic, and things EXACTLY LIKE THIS actually happened, all over the world, in societies amid development.
This movie would have won at least 4 academy awards had Mel not been blacklisted. He was forced to finance the film himself and astonishingly used a lot of non local actors and was able to coach them into giving an incredibly real performance. Truly incredible
The BALLS it took to make this film and the BRILLANCE in which Gibson pulls it off cannot be overstated.. No other word to describe it other than MASTERPIECE...
For all of you out there wandering why Mel didn’t get nominated for this movie which is masterpiece and very cinematography unbelievable is because Mel was blackballed by Hollywood elites . Even passion of Christ was a masterpiece
Yep. He made the mistake of having an opinion and that is not allowed if it breaks the New Rules decreed by an army of hypocrites. He had to be punished.
Honestly.. it probably is the greatest film ever made.. considering that its real-world.visually, its on par with LotR.. but, not fantasy/not cgi.. I don't have to explain 😉
I've watched it again recently after so many years when it came out, it still gives out the same feeling when i first watch it. Pure epic awesomeness. Mel Gibson's work is really one of a kind.
Когда я впревые увидела Апокалипсис,я была потрясена тем, насколько в одном фильме может сочетаться красота природы, сюжетная линия, актеры, операторская работа, решение с субтитрами (обычно не нравится, но тут просто прекрасно), а решение снять на юкатекском языке... А после того, как узнала, что режиссер Мэл Гибсон, просто ахнула. Я даже не знала,что он режиссер!! А он снял НАСТОЛЬКО потрясающую работу! Я не профессиональный режиссер, но как профессиональный зритель 😁 скажу, что это одна из лучших работ, которые я видела! Так обыграть выбранную тему, так раскрыть, с такими мелочами... Браво, Мэл!!! Спасибо огромное, это Ваше наследие, безусловно, это фантастическая работа всей команды, каждого причастного к картине!!
I found this movie by mistake one day on TV, and can’t count how many times I have watched it at this point . Mel Gibson does things to movies like no other . The passion of Christ and Brave heart stole my hearts as well .
Such an intense film, no matter how many times I watch it, I'm always on edge, heart pounding - Mel Gibson is one of the greatest filmmakers of our time! Classic.
Mel Gibson is a GENIUS.... I have watched this movie countless times and I am still moved by the whole production.... This has to be one of the greatest movies ever.... even Mickey Rourke said he would work with Mel Gibson for free!!!
God rest my mother, this was one of her favorite movies of all time!! It took me a bit to convince her to watch it...she said "I don't like subtitled movies, I always pay attention to the subtitles more and end up missing the movie"...well, she ended up watching it anyway after my recommendations, and it became one of her most watched movies as something she could revisit when there was nothing else on she liked! She smiled so big when I found out she took my advice..."You were SOOO right!! Even with the subtitles...it somehow makes it BETTER!! I didn't think I'd ever think that!" I miss my mother. She was an open-minded woman...RIP Mom❤

Oh my God. This movie probably cannot be recreated again. If ever there was an award for most realistic movie, it will be the one. Mel has made a masterpiece that might not be recreated again !!!
I am an Indian. This is one of those movies that felt like a miracle. This movie takes our mind to another world. Thanks to its director MEL GIBSON & FARHAD SAFINIA for making such a movie. Let this miracle happen again
Mel is a genius, He is a true artist and one of the greatest directors. This film along with The Passion of the Christ, is a masterpiece, both are. Amazing films, amazing director. Massive respect for MG.
Mel Gibson gave us students at The Institute of American Indian Arts a chance to watch the film before it's premier. Went to a small local theater in Santa Fe, NM and everyone watched it and had a good time.
This film is truly a cinematic tour de force. I think because the actors weren't household names and the sets were real and the extras weren't CGI'd in, one really is transported into the Mayan culture and the drama of the story. It is a totally immersive experience when you watch it.
*MEL GIBSON IS ONE OF THOSE DIRECTORS THAT NEVER SETTLES FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN PERFECT AND HE GETS IT!!* *IT'S WHAT SEPARATES HIS WORK FROM ALL OTHERS, HE'S A GENIUS IN HIS CRAFT OF INCREDIBLE FILM MAKING !!!*
too much work, not enough profit. They prefer stuff they can just subcontract out to computer artists that will return 5-10x as much in revenue. To hollywood, there is no reason to make these movies. And now with streaming you arent' likely to ever see movies like this get made again. This movie made maybe 20-40 million in profit, and that was with a full theatrical release, today nobody would go see it and it would be a financial disaster. Just look at "The Last Duel".
Один из лучших фильмов, которые я видела! Не устаю смотреть снова и снова! Держит в напряжении до самого конца! Браво, Мел Гибсон! Браво , актёры! С уважением из России, город Екатеринбург.
В фильме глубокий смысл, Не гордись сверх меры ,гордыня разорвет тебя изнутри. На всякого бандеровца, нациста, найдется русский солдат. Бойтесь подонки всех стран, русский воин прийдёт за вами
One of the best movies I have ever seen. I was 7 months pregnant, when decided to watch this film. Such an emotional and captivating story, truly makes you feel in the story, travel back in time, right there. It is a good thing that I did not give birth in the cinema :) P.S: she is 16 now :) Mel Gibson is not only a telented actor, but a fantastic director as well.
Apocalypto is a masterpiece and I was very disappointed Hollywood politics got in the way and deprived Gibson and his team of the recognition they so deserved for this.
Till this day I always thought Mel went to a community that actually existed like this with their culture kept untainted to shoot this movie. The movie felt so real and amazing to the extent that I was convinced some how that some of the scenes were shot at a real place. Everything they put in this movie is an absolute master piece of an art. Such dedication
Just watched this again tonight and convinced my wife to watch it ! She loved it and the only thing better than watching a great movie is watching it again with someone who hasn’t seen it !
Thank heavens for film-makers like Gibson who aren't afraid to be bold and original, and be highly creative about it. I wish there were more movies like this for those of us who aren't into comic book characters, space wars and zombies. Apocalypto is a stunning movie. If ancient Mayan culture _didn't_ look the way it does in the film, I'd be pretty surprised. Everybody involved certainly did their homework.
As a person with southamerican native roots myself, I was very sceptic of this movie at first. I must say, that sentiment turned into fascination. One of the best movies I’ve seen so far.
Yep!!..no other movie will be made like this!!..it has all the elements of what a movie should be!!..truly amazing and one of the greatest movie ever...
Hands down one of the best movie I have ever seen! The first time I watched it I was super young and had to hide lol but I got to watch the full movie and wow it’s amazing! This movie deserves an award till this day!
Mel Gibson has copped a lot of flak over the years, but this film was iconic and represents him at the peak of his creativity. I remember when it first came out, my eyes never left the screen from start to finish, masterful storytelling that will be appreciated far into the future.
Only saw this recently... Mel Gibson is a beast of a creative talent. Hollywood would never produce something this original or interesting. It's only Marvel, Star Wars, or stupid ghost movies. So grateful there are people like Mel trying to do original things.
I can’t fathom how much I love this movie I watched it when I was a little kid and did not comprehend it much and now years later I can’t appreciate how much passion and dedication they put into this work of art!!! 🙏❤️❤️❤️
This movie is the best of the best. The first time when I watched it I remember covering my eyes because it looked so real. I screamed because I was so scared as if it was me in the movie. I really loved it. Thank you all of you for putting a lot of effort to make such an awesome movie!!!!!
Apocalypto is a masterpiece of film making. Brilliantly done, amazing cast and support actors. I am puzzled why few talk about it now in the early 21st Century. Gibson seems like an amazing energetic manic director with crativity and vision few have ever possess. I rate this film in my list of the ten top eye-popping movies ever produced.
Maybe it's just because in some scenes of the movie..it's too Savage.. although the story needs such scenes, some don't have the guts to watch removing of organ in such a way..even it should be rated to 18 and above, because some parts are really disturbing.
A truly magnificent and realistic film by Mel Gibson! The cinematography, costumes and set design, historical perspectives, location and everything coupled with unknown actors that did well. A masterpiece!
Masterpiece of a film form a Genius filmmaker. This is one of those cinematic gems that generations will always discover and love, it is a timeless story and amazing civilisation it shows us. Thank you Mel.
When I was watching it, many times I couldn't believe that they are actors, I felt so real like I was in there watching the story happen in front of me!
I remember I walked in to my brothers room when he was watching this when I was about 12 or so, he immediately told me to get out and wait till I’m older to watch this. So that’s what I did and now I’m 23 and just watched it for the first time thinking now was a great time to watch this especially with the eclipse that is coming and I’m much older. And wow what a film. It’s one of those movies you wish you never saw because after the first time you watch it, you just want to go back and watch it again and again without knowing what happens next. Such a phenomenal film, it’s really a masterpiece!
I loved this movie too. but please don't confuse it with authentic history. If you want to know the truth, watch the "History buffs" take on this movie. It's on TH-cam, or read a book about the Mayans. If you get your history from Hollywood.... well, let's just say, that's not the best place. that said, yes, it was a lot of fun.
Amazing 🤩 when I first watched this movie years ago, I thought that the actors are legit natives. Really authentic production and I respect Mel Gibson’s work and art
What a great job! After all, Mel Gibson is a great man. And he is very purposeful. Not every director has enough patience and perseverance to take the viewer centuries back in time, so that the viewer believes in this "time machine".
I hope Disney is taking notes after all the garbage they and Hollywood have been putting out lately, Mell is a true genius, and I am very grateful to still have this guy still around and looking forward to his next movie.
One of Mel Gibson's greatest movie of all time. We should all not also forget to give credit to all those people involve in the production of this masterpiece.👏👏👏
Absolute, criminally under rated. I always said the genius of the film was the use of the native language. It highlighted something I never thought of before because I know if it was done in English, imo would have lost the impact.
This is one of my all time favourite films, it was absolutely breathtaking . I never get bored of watching , ive seen it more than 20 times.Mel Gibson created something Completely awe inspiring , Simply a masterpiece!
Фильм просто шедевральный!!! Он меня поразил до глубины души!!! Смотрела на одном дыхании. Во время просмотра я напрочь забыла, что это художественный фильм. Откровенно меня и удивил и покорил. Браво всем!!!!!! Аплодирую стоя!!! Меня трудно удивить ,но я до сих пор под большим впечатлением!!!

How much extras make a day(average)
What costume? They had no clothes.
This movie feels like we are actually transported into the times of Mayan civilization. The big reason is Mel's decision to use the actual language and the hard work they did in costume design. Mel is an extraordinary director. I feel sad that he didn't get any awards for "The Passion" and "Apocalypto," but he has won the hearts of his audience which is above all awards.
As mel said they use real jaguar who is standing for real to jump the man.. I know it was real at first without the behind story. I think he is man trained wild jaguar
Impossível receber um Oscar sobre qualquer filme que coloca a brutalidade dos judeus nua e crua, ou seja, como ela é. Neste filme apocalipyto narra nas entrelinhas finais a chegada dos judeus nas Américas.
No it doesn't. If you actually know anything about that period of history you would 99% of this is movie nowhere near Mayan history or culture. You can't have smallpox in Mayan society, or have Mayan bei g astonished at a city, or starvation on that scale, also the sacrifice was way overboard and more akin to Aztec not Mayan, and then the Spanish come in at the end. He isn't very good at getting history correct. Only have to watch Braveheart to know tell8ng a correct story isn't important
Esse filme é simplesmente maravilhoso demais...nunca bi nada igual
It's because Mel Gibson has spoke out against Hollyweird in the past.
Mel Gibson should have won Oscar Best Picture. He's an absolute GENIUS.
It still shocking me how he never win anything over all the masterpiece he ever made
Yes he really did deserve to win, brilliant film .
Absolutely agree . What they did to make this masterpiece come alive is pure genius
he didnt win anything because the J's blacklisted him

Oscars and Grammys are a joke...frauds and trash win it all the time.Makes me sick people still care about this bullshitt
Because the losers of Hollywood blackballed Mel Gibson........thats why there were no awards...
i agree 100%

I agree. It’s one of my favorite movies.

The greatest movie ever made. What other film can you watch 1 million times that you have no idea what the hell they’re saying?

When this film is shown 100 years from now, people will still be awed by it.
The fact that such a movie was even ever filmed it belongs in the archives. Such a magnificent movie
Absolutely...very original another great movie

Hacksaw Ridge is phenomenal as well!
Apocalypto , one of the best and most understated movies ever made! It’s a shame that it did not receive the recognition it deserves.
to brutal for weak sociaty thats why
I was just wondering how many awards this movie got of course there is a lot more to a movie than just the script and the actors obviously
That’s because Mel Gibson is not a democrat. Anything from a known Republican gets knocked by Hollywood
I definitely agree that it's a great movie, but I struggle to think of anything understated about it. The vibrancy and difference of their culture to our own, the violence, the costuming.... all seems blindingly extravagant to me (and the better for it)

It is. !!!Masterpiece!!!
It's ok, as a mayan descent myself the actors don't look mayan at all. They look more aztec or even Native American Indians.
The Mayans didn't exist when the European settlers arrived, they died out like 800 years before
Its a good movie but it's not historically accurate 😥

I am an Indian. This is one of those movies that felt like a miracle. This movie takes our mind to another world. Thanks to its director MEL GIBSON & FARHAD SAFINIA for making such a movie. Let this miracle happen again
why say ur a indian tho
Im a native
@@Blakeskate55 to assert the fact that the movie indeed has moved a lot of people from corners of the world
What has you being an Indian got to whith it?

Mel is a genius, He is a true artist and one of the greatest directors. This film along with The Passion of the Christ, is a masterpiece, both are.
Amazing films, amazing director. Massive respect for MG.
They really need to finance more of his films because everything he directs is gold - Braveheart, The Passion, Apocalypto, Hacksaw Ridge.
Absolutely. Puts the trash hollywood spots out to shame.
Mel Gibson gave us students at The Institute of American Indian Arts a chance to watch the film before it's premier. Went to a small local theater in Santa Fe, NM and everyone watched it and had a good time.
This film is truly a cinematic tour de force. I think because the actors weren't household names and the sets were real and the extras weren't CGI'd in, one really is transported into the Mayan culture and the drama of the story. It is a totally immersive experience when you watch it.
*MEL GIBSON IS ONE OF THOSE DIRECTORS THAT NEVER SETTLES FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN PERFECT AND HE GETS IT!!* *IT'S WHAT SEPARATES HIS WORK FROM ALL OTHERS, HE'S A GENIUS IN HIS CRAFT OF INCREDIBLE FILM MAKING !!!*
hollywood should make this types of movies more and more ❤️
Hollywood walks on eggshells now, so they just churn out bland woke nothing. Dune was cool though.
too much work, not enough profit. They prefer stuff they can just subcontract out to computer artists that will return 5-10x as much in revenue. To hollywood, there is no reason to make these movies. And now with streaming you arent' likely to ever see movies like this get made again. This movie made maybe 20-40 million in profit, and that was with a full theatrical release, today nobody would go see it and it would be a financial disaster. Just look at "The Last Duel".
And more and more it will be unacceptable to the woke ones to do any movies like this.
Thats what i said after gladiator. Wich i went and watched three days straight :)
I agree, they make to many just 90% action films with weak story lines over and over.
The effort was worth it. A timeless movie. Masterpiece!!!
This film is just beyond incredible!
All time one of a kind. Can't be recreated, unless by Mel himself. Insanely perfect.
Один из лучших фильмов, которые я видела! Не устаю смотреть снова и снова! Держит в напряжении до самого конца! Браво, Мел Гибсон! Браво , актёры! С уважением из России, город Екатеринбург.
Sin palabras yo igual no me canso de ver está hermosura de película. Saludos desde México y esperemos en Rusia se calme la guerra
Вы правы! Как можно, так снять !
Солидарен
фууу рашка
В фильме глубокий смысл,
Не гордись сверх меры ,гордыня разорвет тебя изнутри.
На всякого бандеровца, нациста, найдется русский солдат.
Бойтесь подонки всех стран, русский воин прийдёт за вами
Mel Gibson is so much better than all of Hollywood. He is truly a great director
One of my very favorite films. I watch it often. I always pick up on something I hadn’t before. Mel and everyone super amazing job.
who needs Oscar winning actors when you have Mel Gibson as a director.. 👏👏 A movie of its own kind! 😊
One of the best movies I have ever seen. I was 7 months pregnant, when decided to watch this film. Such an emotional and captivating story, truly makes you feel in the story, travel back in time, right there. It is a good thing that I did not give birth in the cinema :) P.S: she is 16 now :) Mel Gibson is not only a telented actor, but a fantastic director as well.
I needed this to believe this movies is not real
Apocalypto is a masterpiece and I was very disappointed Hollywood politics got in the way and deprived Gibson and his team of the recognition they so deserved for this.
Easy, because they put the anti-Semite label on him.
Pretty epic that he did it from outside of the establishment though
Hollywood is not a place for movie lovers. It's an Elite club where you need to suck up to get an award
Hope the same team are not just being used lol hope they are rich by now 😂
I love Mel Gibson and all his films he's a very good And talented man I saw the hearts too awesome
Movies like this are made only once. Unbelievably worked so hard. It’s a masterpiece.
Such a masterpiece…. Too bad no Oscars and recognitions… The acting, Costume design, production, cinematography are topnotch an Oscar worthy!
Till this day I always thought Mel went to a community that actually existed like this with their culture kept untainted to shoot this movie. The movie felt so real and amazing to the extent that I was convinced some how that some of the scenes were shot at a real place. Everything they put in this movie is an absolute master piece of an art. Such dedication
Just watched this again tonight and convinced my wife to watch it ! She loved it and the only thing better than watching a great movie is watching it again with someone who hasn’t seen it !
I love putting people on this movie and seeing their reactions!
This is one of the most underrated movies that really needed part 2
Agreed. A second part is demanded for this historical tour de force. It begs to continue the fate of the Mayans following the Spanish invasion.
Underrated Yes. In need of a sequel.. Fukk no
I don't think this movie was underrated
No, no, no sequel.. just make another good movies..
Thank heavens for film-makers like Gibson who aren't afraid to be bold and original, and be highly creative about it. I wish there were more movies like this for those of us who aren't into comic book characters, space wars and zombies. Apocalypto is a stunning movie. If ancient Mayan culture _didn't_ look the way it does in the film, I'd be pretty surprised. Everybody involved certainly did their homework.
20 Milion views! just shows how many viewers loved this movie! Mel Gibson is one of the greatest directors of All Time.
25 now! 🎉
As a person with southamerican native roots myself, I was very sceptic of this movie at first.
I must say, that sentiment turned into fascination.
One of the best movies I’ve seen so far.
I was worried the film wouldn’t represent my recent struggle either but it did.
Real professionalism. Never will seen a similar masterpiece like this.
Yep!!..no other movie will be made like this!!..it has all the elements of what a movie should be!!..truly amazing and one of the greatest movie ever...
Hands down one of the best movie I have ever seen! The first time I watched it I was super young and had to hide lol but I got to watch the full movie and wow it’s amazing! This movie deserves an award till this day!
Mel Gibson has copped a lot of flak over the years, but this film was iconic and represents him at the peak of his creativity. I remember when it first came out, my eyes never left the screen from start to finish, masterful storytelling that will be appreciated far into the future.
Only saw this recently... Mel Gibson is a beast of a creative talent. Hollywood would never produce something this original or interesting. It's only Marvel, Star Wars, or stupid ghost movies. So grateful there are people like Mel trying to do original things.
This isn't just a movie about the past, it's a time machine. A superb work of art. Bravo!
I can’t fathom how much I love this movie I watched it when I was a little kid and did not comprehend it much and now years later I can’t appreciate how much passion and dedication they put into this work of art!!! 🙏❤️❤️❤️
This movie is the best of the best. The first time when I watched it I remember covering my eyes because it looked so real. I screamed because I was so scared as if it was me in the movie. I really loved it. Thank you all of you for putting a lot of effort to make such an awesome movie!!!!!
this movie never gets old, I don't remember how many times I've watched it already. superbo!
Apocalypto is a masterpiece of film making. Brilliantly done, amazing cast and support actors. I am puzzled why few talk about it now in the early 21st Century. Gibson seems like an amazing energetic manic director with crativity and vision few have ever possess. I rate this film in my list of the ten top eye-popping movies ever produced.
Same here. It is a masterpiece
Maybe it's just because in some scenes of the movie..it's too Savage.. although the story needs such scenes, some don't have the guts to watch removing of organ in such a way..even it should be rated to 18 and above, because some parts are really disturbing.
A truly magnificent and realistic film by Mel Gibson! The cinematography, costumes and set design, historical perspectives, location and everything coupled with unknown actors that did well. A masterpiece!
we need another movie like this.... a true work of art
One of the best movies Mel has ever directed / produced. It's a timeless classic
Let’s not forget Mel produced Passion of The Christ extremely moving ♥️ He’s great♥️
For me one of the best 10 films ever made. A masterpiece. i will never understand why they got no Oscar for makeup and costumes.
Because the Oscar’s are a fraud
Mel Gibson was basically black listed at this point, that's why.
what are the other 9?
Can I see your list of ten best , it's in mine too?
which the other 9 ? yes this was super
This is not just a film, it is a brocken time machine, as it drives me to the further era that I never tought at all. ❤
Masterpiece of a film form a Genius filmmaker. This is one of those cinematic gems that generations will always discover and love, it is a timeless story and amazing civilisation it shows us. Thank you Mel.
This has to be the most ambitious movie ever produced. It's not just a "good movie", it inspires awe. This is the apex of cinema as an art form.
When I was watching it, many times I couldn't believe that they are actors, I felt so real like I was in there watching the story happen in front of me!
I remember I walked in to my brothers room when he was watching this when I was about 12 or so, he immediately told me to get out and wait till I’m older to watch this. So that’s what I did and now I’m 23 and just watched it for the first time thinking now was a great time to watch this especially with the eclipse that is coming and I’m much older. And wow what a film. It’s one of those movies you wish you never saw because after the first time you watch it, you just want to go back and watch it again and again without knowing what happens next. Such a phenomenal film, it’s really a masterpiece!
If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you’ve missed a well done and spectacular movie! Gibson does not make anything but great movies.
This is far greater than a masterpiece...it's breathtakingly authentic
It's close to being authentic but there's a few puzzling decisions that were made that could have easily been changed to make it more authentic.
I loved this movie too. but please don't confuse it with authentic history. If you want to know the truth, watch the "History buffs" take on this movie. It's on TH-cam, or read a book about the Mayans. If you get your history from Hollywood.... well, let's just say, that's not the best place. that said, yes, it was a lot of fun.
Well, they put 110% in that for sure.
Красавчик Мел!.👍
Такой фильм снять.. дорогого стоит.☝ и не только в деньгах💰
А какие персонажи!.👍
Респект!!!✊
One of the best movies I have ever watched.
One of the most underrated movies of all time.
one of the most well made film... its will always be in my collection
This was simply one of the best movies of all time.
Amazing 🤩 when I first watched this movie years ago, I thought that the actors are legit natives. Really authentic production and I respect Mel Gibson’s work and art
What a great job! After all, Mel Gibson is a great man. And he is very purposeful. Not every director has enough patience and perseverance to take the viewer centuries back in time, so that the viewer believes in this "time machine".
An achievement unparalleled in its Beauty, drama and action. One of the best films ever and an enduring testament to Gibson’s vision and talent.
This is literally in my top 5 best movies I've ever watched. I loved this so much.
It really makes you appreciate the attention of detail that goes into making a film.
I hope Disney is taking notes after all the garbage they and Hollywood have been putting out lately, Mell is a true genius, and I am very grateful to still have this guy still around and looking forward to his next movie.
Mel and this film more than deserved and should have received at least one academy award.
One of Mel Gibson's greatest movie of all time. We should all not also forget to give credit to all those people involve in the production of this masterpiece.👏👏👏
Absolute, criminally under rated. I always said the genius of the film was the use of the native language. It highlighted something I never thought of before because I know if it was done in English, imo would have lost the impact.
This is one of my all time favourite films, it was absolutely breathtaking . I never get bored of watching , ive seen it more than 20 times.Mel Gibson created something Completely awe inspiring , Simply a masterpiece!
For start Im sure mel and those cast members use translator throughout the shoot for these amazing craft
Wow, how incredible. This is a movie worth viewing over and over again. The raw emotions, everything moves you.
Фильм просто шедевральный!!! Он меня поразил до глубины души!!! Смотрела на одном дыхании. Во время просмотра я напрочь забыла, что это художественный фильм. Откровенно меня и удивил и покорил. Браво всем!!!!!! Аплодирую стоя!!! Меня трудно удивить ,но я до сих пор под большим впечатлением!!!
Подборка актеров просто фантастика. Как будто Гипсон хотел показать, как эти актеры выглядят на самом деле. .
Плюсую , Мел Гибсон великий режиссер
