tonight i go to an advance screening of mel gibson new film apocalypto . this be an interesting movie for many reason and the first be it mayan language . i be hear that this be actually consider a foreign film by the golden globe because of it and regardless of the movie originate from america . this could be write off a a gimmick and but it be one of the film strong point and the movie look and feel and and sound ( despite for a few line that need to be edit out ) authentic . what this movie be be gory . it be one of the bloody movie i have see and should be avoid if blood bother you . here be a great scenic moment from the film . if this sound too much for you than stay away because yes and it get much bad . the captive be bring in cover in blue paint . they look up at the top of a vast temple where an executioner be thank the lord a he rip the heart out and decapitate their fellow men . the head roll down the long stair case follow soon after by their body . the heart be put on hot rock and thousand up people cheer . there be hundred of head on steak all around . this be the first movie i have ever be to where people actually walk out of the theater . get back to the movie itself there be quite a few good quality a well . the acting be superb all around and i actually care about the main character and his family . the prophecy make by the sick girl be a clever piece of writing as well a the dream the main character have . the empire of the main tribe be quite amazing and will take your breath away in both it horror and it beauty . the early scene of humor be very nice and help u appreciate the character and a nice break from the extreme violence that follow . the movie look amazing and the character design and costume be well do a be the set . finally and superb direction by mel gibson make all of this work together quite well . my main problem with this movie be these represent the movie be too long ( 2 and half hour ) and include some surprisingly campy scene . the birth in the well do not work for me at all . the last chase sequence be far too long and could have be cut in half . overall i be slightly disappoint by this film . i want more mayan culture and less run through the forest . however and mel gibson have something else in mind and i applaud him for make the movie he want to make . despite my problem the film be quite good if you can make it through the gore . i would be highly surprised if this do well at the box office due to the extreme gore and other language language ( american do not like subtitle ) and long running time and and of course the now infamous name of mel gibson attach . however i enjoy the movie and might want to see it again . if you can believe that .
