Anybody see Icelandic sensation Al Ibsen's Masterpiece EUCALYPTO 3000?

I really loved it. The set design was incredible and the period costumes impeccable. From the first scenes where the Europeans land on the Northern Tip of the pregnant belly of South America to their first encounter with Native Mayans and the threat of mutiny by their Mughal slaves. A Magnum Opus on a grand scale. The Vikings with a broken comp and the North needlepoint stuck on geographical South keep advancing amidst storm and lightning in fiery sees with Thor and Odin guiding the rowdy crew with cryptic riddles and divine obedience, to their landing on the Mayan coast and the discovery of Chilli and Tomatoes by the Europeans in exchange for the fast growing pleasant smelling Eucalyptus groves. Feel bad for the Mughal slaves who escaped to a cove to organise a mutiny where they were ambushed and scalped by the Bucktooth Rabbitpaw Indians. The final scenes where the Mayans hand over centuries old holy recipes from their temples to Magath is spellbinding. Did you like the movie?
