Apocalypto (2006)

Synopsis: In pre-columbian America, a small tribe is attacked by a bigger one which is looking for sacrificial victims.

Appraisal: As long as it is not taken as a serious historical reenactment, this is a fun ride; the imagery impressed me tremendously, and the flow of the narrative is exciting. The opening epigraph is meant to give the film an air of importance which it simply doesn't have; this is not cinema of ideas, but of action.

Rating: 66
