the first 95 minute or so up to the eclipse be possibly the best movie to date in 2006. it a voyage of discovery through a virgin world of alien but understandable sensation and it culminate in an arrival at a city of pyramid which constitute one of the recent cinema great set piece . bizarre and spectacular and hypnotic and fully realize like land on an alien planet of savage and fascinating beauty . after the eclipse and however and the movie settle into a conventional chase mode which and though interesting and can not compare to the first 95 minute . the end disappoints in that it introduce an outside element to this previously enclose world and and the end can not resolve the movie basic dilemma represent how can it be both the story of a civilization decline and also the story of a man personal triumph . the subtitle actually help in that line which might have sound silly or stilted when speak in english somehow work when condense to print form . ( though one subtitle stumble with a piece of discordant slang . ) these subtitle also help create a distance between the modern audience and the lost world of the past be show on the screen . and word and either spoken or subtitle and often aren not need here because the cast have great face and can use these face to convey both information and emotion . though not a fan of the passion of the christ and though feeling that braveheart be overrate and it thumb up for mel gibson apocalypto . ( if only we could get rid of that ungrammatical ad line represent no one can outrun their destiny . ) .
