Action & Adventure > Blu-Ray: Action & Adventure > 2003

Advantages: Sucks you deeper as film progresses, action gradually increases.
Disadvantages: Tails off slightly at the very end.

The film starts off with news footage taken from the time of the civil unrest in nigeria which show some quite disturbing images, the film them dips into a typical action film for a while before Bruce Willis and co. start their long hike with the refugees. As the film progesses the scenes get more graphic and the team get more attached to the african people. Fantastic for people who like action with a strong emotional hook in there too, it also raises ...
...over the top and theres lots, i mean lots of action towards the end. The acting is quite good for the most part of the film as each character underplays the role to a good extent until the very end when Bruce Willis needs to have his meaning pause covered in blood as the wounded hero. Despite this, still really good, and Monnica Bellucci proves something nice to look at, as well as being the soft side to teh hardened Bruce Willis. ... Read review

Advantages: Great all round movie.
Disadvantages: A lot of violence

Apocalypto is the story of a happy Indian youth ripped savagely from his rainforest life by ruthless, bloodthirsty Mayan warriors. Its portrayal of the Mayan culture -- including its strange dress, hair styles, costumes, tattoos, body piercing, and decorative scars, as well as its industry, class system, cities, warfare, weapons, myth, and religion -- provide a bizarre and fascinating backdrop for what is, at its heart, a solid, thrilling, fast paced ...
...The movie does have a lot of violence, which although not for the faint hearted, is a realistic part of the culture being described.

The acting is superb and the direction is without a doubt Mel Gibson's finest work. All in all a highly recommended movie. ... Read review

Advantages: Matt Damon's performance
Disadvantages: n/a

...list of favourite actors until The Bourne series. It's a cliché I know but Matt Damon was born to play Jason Bourne. I think that no film he's been in before or since has fitted him quite as well. For me, Matt Damon delivers his best performance yet in The Bourne Ultimatum. If you are a fan of the first two Bourne movies, you will not be disappointed by The Bourne Ultimatum. For those who have seen the first two installments this installment fits ... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Most of the film, acting, story

...widescreen presentation 2.1 surround sound 100 million years back in time Dino Evolution Blooper reel Deleted scenes I have not wasted any more time in watching these as the film was such a let down. The film has a certificate of 15 which is probably about right as there are some scenes of men being killed and eaten by very unrealistic dinosaurs. Thankfully we only paid £2.97 for our copy of this film which I am pleased about as if I would ... Read review
