Chello!
"Meet and Greet" is for off-topic discussions, so....
Just curious to see if anyone else went to see Apocalypto to get a handle on a non-western tech level and development. Lots of Tekumel-looking folks, no steel, no riding beasts, etc.
Visually, the film is really well done.
Comments?

It hasn't got to Australia yet - worth seeing?

Chello!
I manage a theater, so I see evrything! lol
on the Yahoo list, somebody pointed out that the area could be one of the low-tech areas of Tekumel.
I would point out that the causal enslavement of people, bloodshed, human sacrifice, a scheming manipulative priesthood...all are worth seeing even as seed ideas.
I also like how everyone runs everywhere (no horses!).
It's worth seeing at a matinee or discount screen...I doubt I'd pay full price to see, but tere are few films that I would. It is worth seeing on the big screen rather than DVD just because of the Cinematography.
YMMV.

PS I just wonder whar MAR Barker thinks about it....

It just hit the local dollar cinema. It was interesting visually.

I saw Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" at the theater in December 2006. It was. . . interesting.
