Apocalypto? I dd not see that. Actually most people didn’t. They said it was no where near as good as the passion.
Well, those people were wrong, I think. The Passion was an overwrought religious tract that did an above average job of preaching to the choir — and of course the whole choir bought tickets. Apocalypto was more sophisticated in the way it went about its business.
Apocalypto is a masterpiece.
I have seen it (actually have a copy). No true basis for comparing the two, in my opinion. Was it as "good" as "The Passion"? Depends, as they were two different movies, with two disparate main thrusts.
One has to recognize that fact, before one views "Apocalypto", or get drawn into a false dichotomy. The two movies aren't really related to one another, except in one aspect, that they were done in obscure languages, tackling subjects that Hollywood lacks the courage to to tackle, although the subjects themselves were completely different...
