If you are unable to stomach filmed depictions of violence and brutality, you should avoid "Apocalypto". Several scenes made my toes curl. The costume and makeup artists did a tremendous job on this film. Their commendable work helps viewers feel transported to a different age within the first few minutes of watching. I felt that a couple aspects of the story were perhaps unrealistic, but this is a minor gripe. "Apocalypto" is a gripping, singular ride from start to finish.
