The film’s most debated shot comes at the climax. As Jaguar Paw stands over his revived family, he gazes toward the sea. On the horizon, three Spanish galleons appear. In the forest, a missionary raises a crucifix. The film ends.
Apocalypto is a film of staggering physicality and propulsive momentum. After the raid, the movie essentially becomes a high-speed chase, an unbroken sprint through lush, unforgiving terrain. The film is notable for being shot in the ancient Yucatec Mayan language, featuring a cast comprised almost entirely of Native American and Mexican actors, which adds an immense layer of authenticity to the period piece.
