Apocalypto

Directed by Mel Gibson, Apocalytpo is a heart-stopping mythic action adventure set against the turbulent end times of the once great Mayan civilisation.

When his idyllic existence is brutally disrupted by a violent invading force, a man is taken on a perilous journey to a world ruled by fear and oppression where a harrowing end awaits him. Through a twist of fate and spurred by the power of his love for his woman and his family, he will make a desperate break to return home and to ultimately save his way of life.

The title is a Greek term which means “an unveiling” or “new beginning.”

Critic Reviews:

• " Gibson continues to tackle historically-tinged, grand-scale adventures unlike anything before them. " – Mike Massie

• " If Mel Gibson is a mad genius, then Apocalypto may be his most insane work yet. " – Matthew Lucas

• " Apocalypto isn't simply an effective movie, but an immensely powerful one: a benchmark and a foresight seemingly all rolled into one. " – David Keyes
