The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Very good, but the film would have been just as powerful reducing scenery screen time...even a few seconds most times would have made the movie even more watchable.

It is evident from the beginning that The Revenant is a work of passion from everyone involved. Technically speaking, the directing, camera work and editing were some of the best I've ever seen and combined with beautiful settings and detailed costumes: visually, this film is absolutely stunning. The Revenant is an epic adventure told with minimal dialog and content. Every step of this film is purposed to drawing the audience along its path and it does so without the need for added fluff or exposition. It's a pretty heavy drama, so best to have some puddle stompers and a rain coat handy. This isn't your average light viewing.

Iñárritu is a hack, desperately trying to be Tarkovsky, but with absolutely none of the poetry or insight of that great director. The cinematography is pleasant enough, if pseudo majestic National Geographic imagery is your thing (I would personally rather watch cardboard exist).

Based on a true story: In 1823, Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is an experienced hunter and trapper working with other trappers in the northwestern U.S. While facing hardship and difficulties in the wild, Glass is betrayed. The movie chronicles his survival and his quest for revenge.Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu has created brilliant scenes within the elements of nature. He is greatly aided by cinematographer Emmanuel Lukezki. The many aerial vistas (filmed in southern Argentina and the western regions of Canada and the U.S.) reward the eyes and there is great excitement in battle scenes and the now famous and unforgettable scene involving a grizzly bear. The filmmakers can also be credited for keeping the viewers' interest during all of its 2.5 hours.At one point, I found it too hard to accept that one man (Glass) could withstand so much and not only survive but even thrive at times. After some research, I learned that the events of the first half of the film are indeed true but the second half was fictionalized for dramatic purposes.In a very unusual performance, DiCaprio deserves credit for a film in which he is mostly silent. There are moments of intense emotion with his great struggles and he can definitely elicit sympathy in his silence."The Revenant" is certainly a good film overall but probably not worthy of all the awards it received. It is yet one of many macho movies galore. It is very skilled but it does not advance the genre.
