i will say that the cinematography be beautiful . image be breathtaking . it be upbeat and and thrill . major problem . none of the fact add up . the representation of a very advanced civilization have be tear apart and make to look like savage . first of all and mayan be very advanced in calendar and time and so the eclipse that freak out the mayan would have definitely not have happen . another large large large mistake be that the mayan do not sacrifice human or rip out heart . that be the aztec . the mayan be actually very civilized and the movie fail to capture the beauty in their building . they also do not paint their building white . this seem to be more about how the aztec would have act and for they be much more into war and fighting than the mayan or the inca or what have you . now and the mayan and the aztec would never ever scar their body a well . i think that the reason why many people be upset be because he misrepresent the mayan culture so much and help stereo type all native of mexico a savage that really turn me off . if you go and see this please keep in mind that the movie hold no truth whatsoever . it may be entertain and i admit again and the imagery be stun . but keep in mind that youre watch a bunch of false fact about a very advanced civilization that already know about the star and the moon and the sun . they pave their street and build grand temple and other thing . and if you have any question about the mayan history and go check out a book on mexican history . next time i hope gibson will . and i be also mexican and so i should know my history .
