- they should rename this movie Deus Ex Machinapocalypto. Jaguar's Paw (the hero of the movie) is saved once by an eclipse and then again by the sight of the arrival of Europeans on the beach. How lazy and lame for a scriptwriter. Jaguar's Paw didn't have to do anything. He could've just sat down and played in the mud and the scriptwriters would've had aliens from outer-space come down and save him
- after the eclipse the captives are to be "disposed" of so they use them for sport. So do they not need any more human sacrifices? Ever? Was that it? And then afterwards when the hero gets away, the rest of the movie is basically an extended chase sequence. Not that there's anything wrong with that. The Road Warrior and Terminators 1 and 2 end in chases. But those chases had more at stake (such as helping a whole group of people to escape and saving the earth from a robot apocalypse). This was just one person (and his wife and kids I guess). Not that I'm saying the just one person doesn't matter but it was really inconsequential if Jaguar's Paw lived or not on the grand scale of things. Maybe if he went back to rescue his people, or not just his, all the people, it would be more interesting.
I wouldn't pay any money to watch this movie.
