Apocalypto, directed and co-written by Mel Gibson, tells a heroic story in a unique, ancient setting. It stirred up some political controversy upon it’s release but if you put all that crap in the backseat, it’s actually an awesome movie. It’s brutal and cruel but really makes you care about the main character who get’s separated from his family after Mayan’s viciously attack his tribe. At it’s core, it’s a chase movie, and a great one at that.

There are no direct video game tie ins with Apocalypto. However, gamers should enjoy the dramatic over tones coupled with the extremely action-packed story telling. Apocalypto’s use of language and environments remove you from the current world, and transport you into ancient Mayan times.
