Apocalypto was very disappointing to me. There was so much opportunity to show something no movie (that I know of) has ever done before. I wanted to see this Incan society and how it works. Religious blooshed and societal structure, culture, etc. We get a few minutes of tease with a pretty fascinating pyramid set, then it becomes a generic chase movie set in the jungle that could easily have been transplanted to the streets of New York. Waste of an interesting setting.
