Geez...just pick one

Religion. Social structure. Economy. Warfare. Aside from the chase, what the hell was Apocalypto about? And at that, a chase that anyone who made Second Class Scout would rip apart technically? A huge civilization that captures sacrificial victims but the happy forest dwellers are oblivious to it? Fleeting glimpses of a complex Mayan culture as we're taken through the market? That's it? Gibson just a provided few enticing crumbs to fulfill the exotic theme he promised, then moved on to a standard formula action movie.

I'd like him to have explored the irony of a culture that, on one hand, had the only indegenous written language in the Western Hemisphere, high art, and a sophisticated economy, but on the other had wholesale human sacrifice at the center of its value system and didn't perceive the wheel as a tool.
