I spent three days and I could only get 50 minutes into this movie. Anyone remember it?
(IMDB Link).
It's about a kid who gets beaten up and left for dead, but his non corporeal is hanging around in limbo until he dies. So he tries to get people to find his body before he dies 'for real.'
When I first heard about Apocalypto it was advertised as a movie about the end of the Mayan civilization. Because of crop failures the Mayan king (and his priests, I'll assume) believe their gods wanted sacrifices, so jungle villages are ransacked and destroyed to capture men for human sacrifice to appease thier gods. And while it's true that the last five minutes of the movie have the Spanish fleet arriving, the movie as a whole wasn't about that.
With the Da Vinci Code movie out in theaters, it's time for me to give my thoughts concerning this whole 'controversy.' (For the record, I've not read the book nor seen the movie; my thoughts are more about the controversy itself.)
