Was it that one watched together?


















Just kidding.

Yep, I watched it as well.
Was great but i hated the fact that I spent most of the time reading subtitles than sitting back and enjoying the movies.

And why would that be?
Are you saying that the movie was released with a Mayan audience in mind?

Haven't we seen many movies where obviously foreign speaking plots are done in English?
I think that it stupid for an ENGLISH SPEAKING MOVIE PRODUCER to produce such movies as Passion, Letters from Iwo Jima and Apocolypto, to an ENGLISH SPEAKING AUDIENCE, In a foreign language.

In an age of DVD adn digital reproduction, why wouldnt there be provisions to enable English produced movies to be released in English but allow options for other languages?

Yeah but we are NOT talking about foreign films here.
If its an English Production, dubbing in English, Please.

Re: Apocalypto

No... I still like to read it...

As a matter of fact, if I find out a movie is based on a book... I'd much prefer to read the book than watch the movie...

I completely disagree with you on this... The movie would not be the same nor have the same effect if it was in english.... no way..it woulda lost it's ethinticity if it was that way and woulda been dissappointing (well..except to you ).

That they'd write me a letter

Or my life will be over
