CAST REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 24-Jun-2006) This pseudo-historical drama
aroused my interest when I first saw it in France (with French
dialogue) while I was in the Navy. I will admit I enjoyed it better
when I saw it on TV in English. As an Historian, I enjoyed the "what
ifs" the movie posed along with a brief review of the Maya civilization
in Central America. So many of these Meso-American civilizations rose,
fell to barbaric invaders who built on the prior civilization, and were
in turn conquered by other cultures during the centuries prior to the
arrival of the Spanish Conquistadores in the 16th century.
Do you know something we don't?
