I loved it. But with that said, I am willing to bet I'll be one of the few.

First, the movie is almost 2.5 hours long. Couple that with the fact you have to read subtitles thru the entire movie. And then you'll also find the movie to be graphic, very graphic. Definately on the level of Braveheart.

The acting is awesome. The story is very good and very true to the Mayan culture and history (from what I remember being taught). Action from nearly the time the movie started to the end. Probably the fastest 2.5 hour movie I've seen. I'm looking forward to seeing it again.

Got time to spare? Check it out and be sure to buy a large drink cause you'll go thru it watching this one.

Braveheart is a great movie! Apocalypto doesn't have the depth of story that you'll get in Braveheart, but the level of brutality is there. He also touches on the history as well. The thing that amazed me is the amount of acting the lead man had to do as there are so many close ups of his face that he really has to convey his emotions to you with body language. I hope he gets nominated for an acadamy award.

If you loved Braveheart, you'll probably like Apocalypto.
