Quentin Tarantino praises 2006 historical drama as ‘brilliant'.
Movie fans are excited about a violent historical film from 2006 that Quentin Tarantino called “a masterpiece.”
In 2006, many great movies were released such as The Break-Up, The Last King of Scotland, Click, Little Miss Sunshine, and The Pursuit of Happyness. But even after almost twenty years, there is one lesser-known film that still receives excellent reviews.
A Reddit user loved the movie, calling it “one of the greatest films ever. The stakes feel real, there's a clear focus on what matters, every event has a purpose, and the character development is just right.”
Apocalypto, the movie being discussed, tells the story of a young man who escapes and then tries to save his pregnant wife and son. People on social media have been very positive about it. One person called it the best movie ever. Another just said it was great, and a third mentioned it was a favorite. Another fan said, “Movies nowadays can't compare to this one! It was amazing!”
Apocalypto has a 79 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and received critical acclaim, winning nine awards out of 23 nominations, including three Oscar nominations.
Apocalypto received praise, but also stirred up debates in Italy. Initially approved for children, the film was later restricted to those over 14 by an Italian court. Carlo Rienzi, from Codacons, emphasized the importance of protecting minors over film industry profits.
Only Russia allowed all ages to watch Apocalypto, unlike other countries where it was rated R.
If you want to watch Apocalypto, you can stream it on Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, or Hoopla.
