What I find nutty is the number of posters who haunt these Apocalypto threads howling about a movie they have no intention of seeing.

This was a very good movie and I was glad to see that it isn't anywhere near as violent as some reviewers pretend it is. Certainly it deserves the "R" but it breaks no ground on violence. I recently rented "American Werewolf in London" and Mel's movie violence reminded me of that.

I really liked the little references to his past movies (Signs, Braveheart, We Were Soldiers) and especially the reference to Satan among the civilized people.

I'll definitely catch this again but this time I'll look for a theater with DLP projectors. The Theater I was in didn't have them and the picture quality suffered for it. This is said to be the best digital movie and maybe digital projection will do it justice.

Thank you for your sensible review of the film.

I do not understand how people that have not seen the film can condemn it.

It is like the people who say they hate Rush but have never listened to his show.

It's simply a miniature of the larger population who haunt FR threads, howling about a life they have no intention of living.

Can you explain what you're referring to?
