Screw the politics. It was an amazzzzing visual and visceral movie. The sound track was a real wallop to ones senses.. Go see it. Don't take the kiddies or the wife......

Gibson's film is a pastiche of other films, with Last of the Mohicans being its chief source of inspiration. I am surprised no critics have seen this. Apocalypse Now is also riffed and Dances with Wolves and a host of action films (think Predator). Apocalypto is more confected from test-audience elements than any other film I have seen in recent memory.
