"Apocalypto" is two straight hours of the most intense, nail-biting, ferocious, balls-to-the-wall cinema I have seen so far this year. Mel Gibson might just be the best director of all time when it comes to visceral, bone-crunching cinema. For the duration of the runtime, I was tense, thrilled, sickened, and completely blown away by how well-made this film was. I can't believe I put this film off for so long. It's a masterpiece!
Ben Hibburd on Letterboxd How this is not considered one of the finest action movies of the decade is beyond me. It is brutal, hard-hitting, exhilarating and contains a world so fully realized that I have to smile. The costumes, the mayan decorations, the jungle, the temples, everything is perfect. Equally colorful and real, the film juggles emotions and violent action wonderfully. It's a powerful movie that never lets up or looks back. One of my all-time favorites.
Aaron T. Rex on Letterboxd Merciless. Adrenaline drenched pulsating viscera. The kind of movie that makes your hands sweat and your heart explode.
