Is Apocalypto "arthouse"?

As the lines between what people call arthouse and maybe genre films tend to get blurred, mixed up, blah blah, is this movie arthouse? If you were part of an arthouse fan group on G+ or FB or whatever, would you consider this title fair game to discuss and critique?

Whoop dat trick!

It's far more artistic than a lot of other movies I've seen, but I wouldn't call it an "arthouse" film.

Art house films tend to be low budget, or moderately budget, and are well shot, but have little in the way of production values in terms of sets, props, wardrobe or even name talent.
