Default Apocalypto

Killer, killer movie. Excellently done, doesn't get boring at all. Very interesting from a historical point of view.

I was a little disappointed that they ended it with just seeing the Conquistadors come ashore, I wanted to see them own the Incas.

its was badass. ive love the ancient mayan/aztec/inca cultures. i do wonder how accurate it was though. what where they based on? i thought it was mayan an aztec. the aztec were some crazy ------s. the part where they had to run for freedom while gettin spears thrown at them was real ----. i seen a stadium like that on my trip to cancun, except the wall are vertical. they played games there too, if you look close at the pic, theres a small hoop in there. crazzzyy ----. they also have a wall with faces engraved in stone of all the brave warriors that "willingly" gave their life to the gods.

The Mayas ruled way before the time of Conquistadores.They date back to 1000 years before the birth of christ. Im going to say that there wasnt much conquering going on back then .The mayan culture colapsed in 850 A.D. It was teh Aztecs that bent over for the Spanish . I hate inacuracy in movies .

But Im still going to see it.
