The new Mel Gibson Apocalypto trailer hit the web a few days ago. To be honest I was a little surprised to see it online already. It feels as if they just started filming. But here it is in all it’s glory, and I don’t mind telling you I just LOVED the Apocalypto trailer.
Like most first trailers, the Apocalypto trailer doesn’t really give too much about plot or story away, but what it lacks in information it totally makes up for in pure visual imagery. This a beautiful trailer to look at. It’s colorful, vast, alien and enchanting. It’s just a gorgeous piece of film to look at. The IMDB describes Apocalypto as:
An action/adventure film set 600 years ago, prior to the 16th-century Spanish conquest of Mexico and Central America, where a man goes on a perilous journey to save his idyllic world.
Say what you want about Mel Gibson (the guy looks like he’s totally gone off his rocker), the man isn’t afriad to make the films other people are terrified of making. He’s taking risks for the sake of his art, and putting up his own money to do it. Apocalypto looks no different.
