I watched Apocalypto last night and I liked it very much,in spite of taste of blood which you can feel everywhere like the other Gibson movie,"the passion of the Christ".

I am so sorry that I missed its showing here at cinema which could be much much more interesting.

It's needed to mention its Iranian co-writer and co-producer,Frahad Safinia. He notes :
"We started to talk about what films excite us and what he wanted to do next, and we specifically spent a lot of time on the action-chase genre of filmmaking. Those conversations essentially grew into the skeleton of ('Apocalypto'). We wanted to update the chase genre by, in fact, not updating it with technology or machinery but stripping it down to its most intense form, which is a man running for his life, and at the same time getting back to something that matters to him.
