I was not sure what to expect from Apocalypto. I found it “On Demand” through my cable service. I remember when it was talked about in 2006 but I had no interest in seeing it at that time. I am really glad I watched it today.

I can not recommend this film to most people. First of all, it is sub-titled and many people I know will not sit through a sub-titled movie. However this is an action film and a lot goes on where there is no dialog. But for people who like film as an art form, I strongly recommend adding this to your list of must see films.

A new part of history is covered – the Mayan civilization. There is some controversy as to how historically accurate this film is, but I believe it gives you a good sense to how people lived during that time.
