It gets 4/10 on the visuals and the special effects alone. The story is pretty rubbish. The ending is utterly awful and could have been much better. Basically this is the story of a young man in a tribe whose lives are thrown into turmoil after their village is attacked by a raiding party looking for slaves and sacrifices.
But we won't learn this for a good while as it's at least a third of the way into the film.
The film follows him as he is captured and almost sacrificed for another culture and then follow his escape. The very weak ending where they meet up with the 1st Europeans landing on their soil then walking off into the jungle is possibly THE weakest ending to a film I've ever encountered.
The film looks fantastic. Make-up, Hair, Costumes, Sets, Special Effects and Camera Work are all the things that keep this film from being unwatchable. It's lack of story and no plot drag it down so badly. Watch it with the subtitles turned off, it's bearable then.
