It is apparent that the great minds that put forth this film are none other than the same ones that brought us Birdman: Lubezki and Inarritu. With beautiful cinematography and adroit camera movement this film is a visual magnum opus. The Revenant is a technical masterpiece that left me wondering "How the hell did they do that?" after many scenes and sequences. Not to say that I did not enjoy this film thoroughly. To think that events in these movies actually happened or that they could very well happen is too much for me to think about. In all these movies there are brutal sequences that cause emotional stress and disgust just watching because it is so REAL and GRIPPING. The Revenant falls into the same category as Aronofsky's "Requiem for a Dream" and Spielberg's "Schindler's List" for me, in the essence of being a terrific movie but not something I think I can sit through a second time. Guided by sheer will and the love of his family, Glass must navigate a vicious winter in a relentless pursuit to live and find redemption In a quest to survive, Glass endures unimaginable grief as well as the betrayal of his confidant John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). In an expedition of the uncharted American wilderness, legendary explorer Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is brutally attacked by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team. Inspired by true events, THE REVENANT captures one man's epic adventure of survival and the extraordinary power of the human spirit.
Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, Will Poulter
