This film was so beautifully filmed because it was all filmed in ambient light. No extra lights, just with the light around them, and reflectors. From a photographer's perspective, this is extremely hard to do so this film is absolutely phenomenal.

A raw and brutal film, that tells a simple yet really powerful story. Both DiCaprio and Hardy are award-deserving, as are cinematography, direction and score.

It is impossible to take a film that has been nominated for twelve Oscars and not be left with any kind of expectation, especially if the film manages to bring together two of the big names in cinema today: Leonardo Di Caprio and AlejandroIt is impossible to take a film that has been nominated for twelve Oscars and not be left with any kind of expectation, especially if the film manages to bring together two of the big names in cinema today: Leonardo Di Caprio and Alejandro González Iñarritu. In this case, the film exceeded my expectations. The narrative tells a fictional story about one of the trips of Hugh Glass, an American pioneer and adventurer who actually existed. In this film, he is the guide of a group of hunters who venture into native territory to collect animal fur, a valuable and profitable item at that time. When the group is attacked by Indians and only a few survive, Glass leads them until he is attacked by a bear and is abandoned on the verge of death. Then he begins a struggle to survive, to return to the colony and to punish those who abandoned him.

Firstly, I loved the story. It is a classic story of revenge with an aroma of "Count of Monte Cristo" that has nothing astounding, but works well. Iñarritu knew how to give the film an excellent rhythm and dynamics, where there are no dead moments and everything is perfectly articulated and completely clear and noticeable. For me, what displeased me most was the invention of a son that the main character never had and that only exists in the film to increase the dramatic effect, but it is something that we managed to forgive before all the redeeming qualities that this film presents. It also has several action scenes with struggles, ambushes, deaths and even a rape (not explicit, but clear).

The cast is a fundamental part of the value of this film. Leonardo Di Caprio is a great actor, one of the best of our time, and he had nothing more to prove when he decided to make this film. He started a career in roles where all he had to do was be pretty, but he evolved, he became a real chameleon capable of surprising us with each film. But he still wanted to win the Oscar for Best Actor, for which he had already been nominated three times (in 2005 with the film "The Aviator", in 2007 for his work on "Blood Diamond" and in 2014 for "The Wolf of Wall Street"). Di Caprio appears here as we have never seen him, with an almost raw and violent realism. Tom Hardy also did an extraordinary job, giving life to the greedy selfish Fitzgerald, and Will Poulter, who we still remember to see emerging for the cinema in one of the Narnia trilogy films, is truly moving in a naive and nice character. Domhnall Gleeson was also excellent.

In addition to the engaging story and a strong cast that gives everything it has to surprise us, the film features the skill and detail of González Iñarritu, attentive to the smallest details and realism of what he is filming. Once again, he had the collaboration of the experienced Emmanuel Lubezki, who had already signed the cinematography of "Birdman", also by this director. The film is visually magnificent: the camera moves in our perspective as if we were part of everything, running away from the Indians and crawling on the floor; the skillful use of colors, natural light (not a single spotlight was used), filming in a real location, contrast and the effect of blur and depth gave the film a realism that almost transports us into the screen. The use of excellent costumes and the construction of genuine sets has also helped, and allows us to be better placed in the historical period when everything is happening. I can understand those people who criticized the film for exaggerating a bit in the filming of trees, sky and landscapes, its something that can tire some viewers, but I liked that and, for me, it was an additional quality. The use of CGI has not been overlooked, in particular to recreate the animals and the bear, but everything is so realistic that we can almost doubt the use of CGI. The sound and special effects also worked perfectly and the soundtrack is truly effective.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great movie. Would recommend it to everyone. It's a long movie, but it didn't bore me a second. I think they should have explained more how Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) lived with the Indians before his wife died. But despite that small thing, it was amazing. Great acting by both Leo and Tom Hardy. The final fight scene was very climactic and the fight choreo was good. Time flew while I watched this piece of entertainment and I was sad when it ended. Great story, acting and filming. Everything you want from a survival/ action movie.… Expand

Desde o princípio, o filme demonstra quão bem preparada é sua cinematografia. Planos longos, com um toque leve, que poderiam facilmente virar uma pintura. O Diretor de fotografia sabe muito bem como dizer algo sem que seja necessário linhas de diálogo. Os efeitos práticos são muito convincentes, com uma maquiagem surreal de tão bem trabalhada. A CGI não fica pra trás, acrescentando bem a trama. A OST é muito bem intercalada com o silêncio, que passa muito atmosfera da cenografia, que aqui está fantástica.

Quanto as atuações, todos estavam perfeitos nos seus respectivos papéis. Leonardo DiCaprio da vida ao seu personagem e o assume de uma maneira assustadora. Suas expressões de dor, pronúncia de outras línguas, expressões faciais, emoções como raiva e tristeza transcendem a tela e fazem com que tudo pareça mais real. Tom Hardy não só da conta do seu papel como faz com que nem imaginássemos como seria o filme sem ele, assim como o DiCaprio. Seu sotaque dá um certo tipo de "charme" característico ao personagem e ajuda muito bem a transmitir suas crenças. Domhnall Gleeson, apesar de sua cara de novo, se encontra bem e consegue transmitir sua influência e poder, sem que pareça forçado.

The Revenant é maravilhosamente bem estruturado, com um roteiro adaptado e atuações de ponta, que junto a direção de  Alejandro González Iñárritu, tornam o filme único!… Expand

Sinopsis:

El trampero Hugh Glass intenta vengarse de sus compañeros, quienes lo abandonaron herido en el bosque después de que lo atacó un oso, pensando que moriría, víctima de las lesiones y de la crudeza del entorno y del invierno. Sin embargo, el rencor que siente es más fuerte que cualquier adversidad, y Glass no permitirá que nada ni nadie le prive de saciar su odio.

Opinión:

Que película más asombrosa por Dios, es una constante seguidilla de "Wows", excelente diseño de producción, actuaciones de alto calibre llenas de crudeza y naturalidad imposibles de igualar, este es el film que le dio su primer Oscar a DiCaprio y bien ganado lo tiene.

Si bien es bastante larga y de ritmo pasivo (156 minutos), logra mantener atento al espectador.

En aspectos técnicos amé la fotografía y la paleta de colores.

Película de visualización obligada para todo aquel que se considere cinéfilo, yo la vi 5 años tarde, pero es mejor a nunca haberlo hecho.

The direction and cinematography are brilliant. So many long shots, so many interesting visuals, so many shots that come straight out of a german romanticism painting. The action scenes are some of the best I've ever seen. Every shot feels alive, with so many things to see, so much to talk about. All thanks to wonderful directing and genius cinematography. The acting is also great, and while the characters are not like really deep or complex, the performances from the actors really give them so much personality and realism to everyone. Leo really shines in the "survival" scenes. His grunts and screams are so realistic that you feel the pain. This is a movie that might be painful to watch to some, but I know that is the point, and for what it tries to make the viewer feel, it works so much. I could give it a 10, but my only real issues are the story, which like I said, it can get really predictable at so many points. Some dream sequences, like (without spoiling anything) they keep reminding us so many times the same event that affected Hugh's life, like, we know it already, it got to the point where it felt like it was just time filler. Speaking about time: The time is also an issue. The movie is 2 and a half hours long and it does feel like it, because it gets so unnecesarilly slow. Don't think that I can't appreciate a slow paced movie, because one thing is slow but with interesting visuals (like Roma) and other is slow because the shots last longer than what they should.

Regardless, despite those issues, i give it a 9/10, because basically everything else was done in a flawless way. This is a great film and I highly recommend it.… Expand

Driven and captured with incomparable, enthralling cinematography of some of the most graphic and invigorating sequences in recent memory. And carried by the painfully-vengeful performance by Leo Dicaprio, who may not be at his best (in my opinion), but is certainly as his most vulnerable in this pic. But Tom Hardy in my opinion, was equal to Leo in his crazed lunacy and recklessness. Altogether forms a moviegoing experience that is enfused with the best of what cinema has to offer. However Revenant has a disease that many, many "trying to be great" films suffer from. And that is being overly long and overly dense to justify its subject matter. Some films need to be stretched out, but Revenant felt like it was reaching beyond its means. You actually lost a lot of what drove the movie from the onset and became hazed by DiCaprio's wander in the bush. Most of it is very beautiful, but until its terrific and overwhelmingly satisfying end, rests far too many moments of that had no reason being in the final cut. That being said, there's so much goodness juiced into this film, it's difficult to walk away and not say you were unbelievable enamored and impressed.… Expand

The revenant est un très bon film avec Leonardo Dicaprio

-À la fois film d’aventure, de survie et d’histoire d’homme son scénario n’est qu’une simple vengeance. Heureusement que celui trouve d’autre porte, comme la lutte blanche vs indien, la lutte vie vs mort, la maladie, la famille, etc. …

-Les Acteurs il joue bien cependant je ne les apprécie pas tous… Mais Dicaprio lui en revanche c’est génial j’ai mal pour lui ;)
Techniquement le film est quasiment irréprochable. La caméra bouge comme un serpent et multiplie les plans séquence (une scène filmée en un seul plan) comme la scène d’introduction qui est juste superbe). En plus toutes son stabiliser. (j’ai eu l’impression que c’était des plan filmé avec grus mais on perçois le mouvement de marche, donc j’imagine une stabilisation 3 axes mécanique).

-Doté d’images magnifiques prises en lumière naturelle cela donne un panache que d’autre n’ont pas atteint.
Une Dolby Atmos qui révèle la technologie au mieux de sa forme et nous emporte en forêt plus qu’on pourrait l’imaginer et avec une caméra volatile comme celle-ci cela donne un effet … excellent. Ce film se révèle grâce à son « Son pur » Dolby Atmos le revoir chez soit n’est que détruire la plus grosse partit du film pourquoi. Le maximum chez nous c’est 7.1 et encore très peu de films nargue de sortir un Blu Ray avec une piste audio française 7.1 (7 enceintes 1 basses) alors que le Dolby Atmos c’est jusqu'à 128 objets audio indépendants au sein d'une scène. À Rochefort on est à 64 enceintes.
Au niveau du temps c’est long oui (environ 2H45min). Il a un rythme de zombi et je pense que c’est fait exprès cela renforce le côté « revenant ».

-Le film n’est quand même pas si parfait que ça comme la scène avec l’Ours. Qui dans la bande-annonce était vraiment mauvaise et même si dans le film final ça a été amélioré on voit très bien que c’est de la CGI et à certain moment c’est pas beau le blur est trop présent pour des caméra aussi réactive que celle utiliser. De plus à un moment dans l’arrière-plan j’ai eu une vague impression de feux bizarre … (heureusement qu’il n’était pas au milieu de l’image).

-Ce film est violent ce n’est pas un mal sa renforce le coter tragique et pitoyable de l’homme. Mais le proposé au seulement plus de douze ans c’est pitoyable ce genre de film il faudrait seize ans ….

Les musiques, il est rare d'écouté une musique qui colle comme il le faut mais que je vais oublié. Très différent du son qui était varié et très présente !

Pour finir, j’ai adoré ce film pour le SON l’image et le fait qu’il navigue entre film d’auteur et blockbuster. Ça nous permet de réfléchir sur un film qui est travaillé et qui a couté cher.… Expand

Every single scene was captured completely with natural light, creating a beautiful setting that is almost as haunting as the acting of a vengeful Leonardo DiCaprio & and a menacing Tom Hardy.

Still, this is an amazingly epic & brutal film, and one that finally rewarded DiCaprio with his long-awaited Academy Award.… Expand

Leonardo DiCaprio is the greatest actor of his generation. There….now that we’ve got that out of the way…

The Revenant is the based on Michael Punke’s fictionalised novel telling the story of 19th century bear trapper Hugh Glass. After aLeonardo DiCaprio is the greatest actor of his generation. There….now that we’ve got that out of the way…

The Revenant is the based on Michael Punke’s fictionalised novel telling the story of 19th century bear trapper Hugh Glass. After a brutal bear attack Glass is left for dead in the wilds of South Dakota with the harsh elements, murderous native Americans and, worst of all, the French to deal with.

Glass is determined to track down the man who betrayed him — John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy) who is not only responsible for leaving him behind, but also killed Glass’s son while the hunter was powerless to stop him.

From the outset director Alejandro González Iñárritu delivers an incredible sequence featuring a full scale attack on Glass’ group by native Americans. The majority of this scene appears to be one long take, a favourite technique of the directors’ used throughout his previous oscar winning credit Birdman. This battle takes things to another level however. The number of elements on screen at any time, from charging horses, to firing rifles, to burning trees, leaves you wondering just how the sequence was accomplished.

Beyond the performances it is the cinematography of The Revenant that is it’s greatest achievement. Director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki has previously worked on the award wining Gravity as well as 2007’s Children of Men which also featured a breathtaking ‘single shot’ battle sequence. To my mind The Revenant must be his greatest work to date. Almost every frame of the film could be printed on canvas and hung in a gallery. The visuals are all the more impressive when you consider that Iñárritu largely insisted on using only natural light when filming, meaning Lubezki often had to rely on something as inconsistent as the weather to light the desired shots.

While The Revenant is often pitched as a survival story or a revenge story, to me it is more of an exploration of men as animals. Between Glass’s animalistic drive for retribution, the native Americans and their on-going quest to find an abducted member of their tribe and the animals themselves, everyone has largely the same goal — to protect their young. The bear mauling that acts as the inciting incident for the drama is also driven by the bear protecting her cubs when Glass comes across them while scouting.

Speaking of the bear — the mauling scene is another breathtaking piece of filmmaking that has to be seen to be believed. Quite how it was put together I still can’t figure out. Again using ‘one long take’ technique, the attack is relentless, desperate, and brutal. I’ve heard the expression ‘mauled by a bear’ before but I’ve never really knew what that meant, until now.

While its safe to say the plot of The Revenant is fairly thin, it is DiCaprio and Hardy that remain the driving force of the narrative. Isolated for the majority of the run time Dicaprio has very few lines and relies on physicality and facial expressions alone to convey Glass’ suffering. It’s hard to imagine anyone else that could bring the humanity and desperation to the part that DiCaprio does. The debate about the actor winning an Oscar is almost redundant at this point. He should have won years ago. If this doesn’t do it however, I don’t know what will.

Hardy’s job in the film is more straight forward but is no less compelling. Fitzgelard is a bitter, selfish and unforgiving man who bullies and intimidates his way through the situation for his own personal gain. Hardy’s character represents the other side of man’s animal nature, advocating the philosophies of survival of the fittest and every man for himself.

With two complex characters played by two actors at the top of their game, the film builds to a tense and deeply personal confrontation which I will not in any way spoil here.

The supporting cast should not be overlooked however. Fresh off Star Wars Domhnall Gleeson continues to prove himself as a great character actor as the conflicted Captain Henry while Will Poulter shows he can hold his own with Hardy in some pretty intense scenes.

For me The Revenant is the perfect cocktail of source martial, directorial style and performance. In equal parts harrowing and beautiful it may not be a film to be casually re-watched, but if you think of yourself as a film fan in anyway it is certainly deserving of your time.… Expand

It's more of an experience than an ''entertaining film'', it takes you in, and drags you along, very few movies can do that effectively, that you forget about everything except about the movie. (whilst watching)?

One with exciting camera angles, beautiful scenery, and gorgeously depicted brutality. While the story ends up boiling down to a simple revenge tale the cast behind it is phenomenal. Bringing to life every emotion necessary to make things succeed.

I am once again blown away by Hardy's ability to play so many different characters. He and DiCaprio are powerful here. The latter in particular brings these events to life in ways you would never think possible. It's a violent, brutal film. One almost unrelenting. DiCaprio truly captures the essence of a man fighting for his very survival.

While nearly every obstacle is gripping in it's depiction, admittedly one flaw the movie has is that the events follow the shocking opening scenes that kick things off in the first place fail to live up to what comes before. There's also the fact that there are going to be those who feel the movie is too long. Some trimming could have been done here or there, but ultimately it's length doesn't do it too much discredit. It's an amazing ride all the way through.

It's an outstandingly put together movie. One with incredible moments happening almost constantly throughout. The violence and harshness of the events on display are masterfully captured. It does stumble in a few areas that keep it from reaching the heights of a true masterpiece (at least in this reviewer's opinion), but overall it's a fantastic movie almost nonetheless. One very deserving of your time for the performances of everyone involved alone.

The movie was inspired by the real event that sets in the year 1823, United States. When one of the crew members of the hunters left behind after he was severely hurt from a bear attack, he desperately looks for a way to get back to the camp alive, especially to avenge for the death of his close one. The whole film was about survival in the wilderness and to avoid the native Americans. But the introduction in the opening was very brief and in the final act, it was another brief man hunt. Overall, it was an enjoyable movie for adults with some gruesome scenes.

The movie was made on a grand scale. Well written screenplay, good direction, the cast, music and the locations, but it would have been even awesome if it was true to the original occurrence. I felt it was cinematically overdosed, especially for the commercial purpose. The fans of Leonardo Dicaprio's overwhelming celebration created a huge buzz. In fact, it looks like the entire Hollywood is his fan and the Oscars given to him out of sympathy, because I have seen his best performances better than this in the past.

The length of the movie was a big concern, should have been at least 15 minutes shorter. But the visuals were fantastic, the CGI bear was almost flawless. There are plenty of reasons why this should not be missed, at a time the narration lacks the realism. Otherwise, it would have made a wonderful semi-documentary film. So don't have high hope on this, especially if you're no ones fans, but just love watching movies like me. A little bit overrated everywhere, but still this movie is good, just good, that's it, not a masterpiece.

It is incredibly gripping, full of beautiful shots, and very dark with outstanding performances by Leo, Tom Hardy, and the rest of the crew. It must be understood however that those looking for a 1800s action thriller will be disappointed as it is simply not that kind of movie, nor was it meant to be. This is simply a story of redemption and revenge, and survival against all odds, and while it has action the majority of the movie consists of Leo walking around just breathing between the action scenes. It is a very slow paced movie, which adds to the realism in many ways and allows for awe inspiring shots of the landscape. The fight scenes are incredibly realistic and refreshing as it is no longer simply a bunch of choreographed punches and well timed hits like all Hollywood films, but rather all out brawls that look unorganized and lifelike. The only faults I give it are that the movie doesn't have a consistent pace, as in the beginning we couldn't miss a character blink and the final 10-15 minutes cover like a 1-2 day period. Also at times there are scenes that are too long and unimportant. You'll spend 3 minutes watching Leo slowly ascend a hill just to see bison run around on a plain.

"Revenge is a dish best served cold" is the most fitting adage here, seeing as how DiCaprio spends nearly the entire film in freezing conditions, fueled only by his fiery rage and insatiable desire for vengeance. The scenery is amazing; the"Revenge is a dish best served cold" is the most fitting adage here, seeing as how DiCaprio spends nearly the entire film in freezing conditions, fueled only by his fiery rage and insatiable desire for vengeance. The scenery is amazing; the graphics of the bear mauling impeccable; the intermittent gnashing of teeth (DiCaprio's) punctuate scenes like the icy blast of winter's first freeze, cutting the viewer to the core. No doubt, his performance was impressive, and he committed to the role with an intensity that skewers the viewer's soul, much as the computer-generated bear did to DiCaprio's nearly frozen limbs. The story itself misses the mark historically, as the real Hugh Glass did not have a son; however, the overlying, timeless theme of righting someone's wrong rings as true in the 1820's as it does today. It is that drive to make someone accountable for his actions that keeps the viewer glued to the screen from start to finish. One can't help but wonder what he or she would do in a similar situation, and how he or she at one time has also felt like Hugh Glass, wishing to make someone pay for another person's wrongdoing. In addition to DiCaprio's performance, Tom Hardy proved a force to be reckoned with, chewing each scene as hard as he did the wad of tobacco he slid carefully between his teeth and cheek intermittently. It was his performance that was perhaps the most overlooked, and the final reckoning between Hardy and DiCaprio was a cinematic masterpiece.… Expand

A traditional Old West survival-and-revenge tale assumes the dimensions of a harrowing voyage to the American frontier's heart of darkness in The Revenant. Pushing both brutal realism and extravagant visual poetry to the edges of what one customarily finds in mainstream American filmmaking, director/co-writer Alejandro G. Inarritu, cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki and a vast team of visual effects wizards have created a sensationally vivid and visceral portrait of human endurance under very nearly intolerable conditions; this is a film that makes you quite glad to have been born in a century with insulation and central heating. The combination of stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy, the director and critical enthusiasm in most quarters will make this Fox release a must for audiences in search of cinematic red meat (something the story offers up in abundance, and mostly uncooked), although vegetarians and viewers with otherwise delicate constitutions could spend half their time squirming with their sweaters pulled up over their eyes.

For a director who normally takes several years between films, Inarritu has remarkably turned around his most ambitious physical production within just one year of his awards-laden Birdman. Even the untutored eye would quickly recognize this as the work of the same key talents; The Revenant may use plenty of cuts and is set nearly entirely outdoors, but the fluid, prowling, sometimes gasp-inducing camera moves, along with the great depth of field, are the same. And both films are about men on the brink, in severe extremis, a condition that helps justify and sustain Inarritu's artistic high-wire act. It's Jeremiah Johnson meets Apocalypse Now.

Set in 1823 in the Rockies, less than two decades after Lewis and Clark led their map-altering, continent-opening expedition through the territory, the story is based on actual people whose real names are used in the film as well as in Michael Punke's 2002 novel, upon which the script is quite accurately described as being "based in part." In a way, the biggest difference between the novel and the film is that the former is aided by a map, very specific descriptions of the proximity of rivers, forts and other landmarks, which provide clear indications of how far the gravely injured hero must travel to get to what might pass for civilization in this context but certainly not in any other.
Inarritu shares screenplay credit with Mark L. Smith, whose prior creative endeavors lie in the realm of low-budget horror (Séance, the Vacancy duo, The Hole), and the script immediately ups the story's existential ante by deliberately not revealing how long a journey mountain man Hugh Glass (DiCaprio) might be facing, or whether he has any realistic hope of finding any place with a roof over it. On top of this, any temptation to provide the central character with interior monologues to reveal his anguished thoughts and feelings has been resisted; for most of the running time, he is limited to expressing himself via painful grunts and cries and very heavy breathing.

Their ranks decimated and with winter closing in, the white men decide to head back, which brings on the scene, 25 minutes in, that which no one who sees it will soon forget (and which will certainly pass through the mind of any viewer who in future takes a hike through bear country). While taking a rest in the forest, Glass is charged by a mother grizzly bear. The man injures her with the one shot he gets off from his long-barreled rifle but then can do nothing as the incensed creature slaps, claws, bites, rips open and steps on him with her giant paws before retreating. Beyond the sheer terror she provokes, the bear's behavior is fascinating to observe; for a good while, she sniffs and assesses her adversary closely, both in the manner of a cook judging the seasoning of a dish and a kid deciding about whether to play with a toy any longer. She retreats ... and then comes back for more.

The score by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto, with additional music by Bryce Dessner, is effectively ominous and grim.

It has been noted before, but The Revenant indicates, more than any film Lubezki has shot, the influence of the Russian team of director Mikhail Kalatozov and cinematographer Sergei Urusevsky on his work.

A brutal and gripping pre-Western.… Expand

Alejandro González Iñárritu has proved that he is not a one hit wonder with this movie. The cinematography is the best I’ve seen all year with great single shots instead of cutting scenes. The natural lightning used in the movie was just beautiful to look at and made the movie viewing experience great. Leonardo DiCaprio‘s performance in this movie hands down the best performance of the year and his career. If he doesn’t win the Oscar then no one will. The other performances were great. I was really fascinated with the gore aspect of this movie it felt more realistic than any other R-rated movie. The score of the movie is brilliant. The only issue I have with the movie was that it’s a slow paced movie and I’d have loved to see more of Hugh Glass’ backstory.
In the end The Revenant is one of the best movies of this year. I recommend everyone to watch this movie just for Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance .… Expand

Leo should receive it earlier, but however. The Revenent is amazing. Fantastic directing, picture, Tom Hardy, every scene is done perfectly, so big respect for one of the best directors today, Inarritu. He has done a big job with this, and it was a very hard task, just like with Birdman. Great soundtrack and everything that makes you feel like you are in the forest with Leo, does that. One of the best movies in 2016., and one of the best with such a little dialog I watched.

ps. scene with the bear didn't actually impress me that much as others. But respect on braveness.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've checked this for spoilers but it's predominantly a vague - non-spoiler - review, so if you haven't seen this and you only care to watch it with a certain half-heartedness, then this is the one for you. I digress...

Oh, if only you could give more specific ratings because this would certainly be heading for an 8.5 from me if this was the case.

After a start that left me somewhat confused as to how the rest of the film may continue and maintain a certain quality, then came the bear. The big killer who rather ironically struck life into what would've been a long two and a half hours. Having witnessed, and continued to witness, the stunning cinematography pulled off throughout in order to add a real open effect to the film, there began a revenge story between the two on-form actors; Hardy and DiCaprio. Everything about this revenge plot had me gripped. The way you knew there was an air of tension between the two main characters, and the fact that you knew Fitzgerald had it in for Glass foreshadowed the state he ended up leaving him in, and it really did help this story flow and with some luck along the way, the inevitable ending seemed oh so dramatic. From the dummy dead body to knife fight on the icy floors besides the forest, it had me tense all the way through. DiCaprio's star-studded performance now seems to be well-worthy of the Oscar for Best Actor as the grit and determination of the character just kept on going and going, and I'm glad he did. I'm new to doing these reviews so I'm unsure of whether this was written 'acceptably' but nevertheless hope you enjoyed this and I *thoroughly* recommend you watch this film.… Expand

It's SO GORGEOUS, sure the film has it's other strong suits but the direction (Inarittu) and cinematography (Lubezki), two categories it won Oscars in, is so overwhelming I couldn't understand why a certain section of the audience did not find this a good watch. It is a very old school film it has this strong 70's vibe where the story is not told and is left for you to figure out. I watched this with a friend who did not enjoy this as much and suggested that the movie would have been better if DiCaprio's character Hugh Glass narrated in the film and spelled out his ordeals to the audience. I called my friend a pleb because I am a high and mighty jerk like that but on a serious note while a narration would have helped with the casual audience, it would also promote spoon feeding hand holding which has become the norm of today's films. The performances were great and a movie like this falls apart if the performances are not good they are the only thing connecting the audience to the film. Well deserved Oscar for DiCaprio, arguably career best performance from him, Tom Hardy was great too shame no Oscar though, some scenes were so intense I could feel it taking a mental toll on me of which the bear mauling scene was on the forefront. Overall a very visceral movie which used only natural light while filming and will stand the test of time, something which this year's winner Spotlight cannot claim.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Anyone calling The Revenant boring went into this movie thinking it would be another shoot-em-up western, while the only western I can think of comparing it to would be Jeremiah Johnson. If you haven't seen that, check it out, its a less gory version of this film except the protagonist is after Crow Indians instead of Tom Hardy.

Aside from that its hard to know where to begin with this movie. The cinematography is amazing. The setting is excellent. The performances by everyone are stellar. The sound editing is incredible. And the bear attack is all too real, seriously well done CGI.

Despite being the main attraction, his dialogue is so far apartDiCaprio warrents himself another Oscar nomination, but I have to admit he doesn't deserve the win. Though his talent is undeniable he's simply got too little to work with here. Despite being the main attraction, his dialogue is so far apart and and between so much action that he's given little opportunity to win our hearts. Even when these opportunities do present themselves the writing is unfortunately much thinner than what you'd expect from a role played by the best actor of the year. For these unfortunate reasons we shall all prepare ourselves for yet another March full of "Leo has no statue" memes. Perhaps one in which the Oscar is mauling him instead of a bear. Hardy however, is outstanding, making the best of every scene and warranting himself a nomination of his own, though it's doubtful he'll get it. Even Poulter does nobly in what must have been a daunting list of co-stars. The only role I found distasteful is that of my fellow ginger's. Though Gleeson made my list of those to watch after Ex Machina, this performance makes it two in-a-row that I've felt he was miscast and for largely the same reasons (the other being Star Wars). Gleeson seems to be stepping into roles suited better for men twice his age. Though he looked the part here much better than in space, he still lacks the authority to create a conviction from within a leader.

If you didn't catch the hints in the trailer, this film is not for the faint of heart. It's absolutely brutal. In the end, we've seen a lot of things, most not short of sheer beauty, and for what? A simple payback story riddled with unmoving flashbacks of a loss we're led to care little about. Unfortunately, for all the incredible visuals and one hell of a survival picture, we're left with undeveloped characters and back stories that left too little off the table to have truly connected with the plot. It's an absolute tragedy to have come all this way and feel next to nothing inside.

However, from start to finish the screen is never void of absolute beauty. On every technical aspect the Revenant is a true masterpiece. The score is solid, the direction is Oscar worthy, the setting is gorgeous, and the cinematography is breathtaking. Many scenes are so beautiful they make it worth the watch despite everything I've said negatively thus far. Honestly, if for nothing else, this film is worth the watch just to see a bear attack that is one of the best cinematic experiences I've had in front of a big screen in my entire life. The technical feat can't override the lack of character development and paper thin plot, but despite all it lacks, it lacks not one single shot that isn't completely and indisputably beautiful.… Expand
