Watched it a second time, and overall it hold up pretty good. Visuals and performances are really good. Nice way of storytelling. But maybe some scenes do go a little over the top. But all in all, excellent film.

8/10: excellent.

The Revenant (2015),Alejandro G. Iñárritu's sixth film, is one of the most visually stunning statements ever put to film in cinema history.

With a simple plot of chaos ensuing, and a father's quest for revenge, there is not much to the story, albeit I thought it had some emotionally engaging moments. Rather, it is The Revenant's technical merits that makes it truly unique.

Naturally, DiCaprio's performance is in a class of its own, and what the entire crew endured is impressive, shooting the film only in natural lighting and thus extending production considerably. Rather, it is Iñárritu's expert vision for cinematography and ability to translate this vision to his director of photography which is the driving force in making The Revenant a special piece of cinema. The way in which Iñárritu takes the viewer on an intricate journey through America's nature is breathtakingly beautiful and brutal - this is truly a place a survival, chaos and solitude. The film's depiction of this is not for the faint-hearted with its gruesome violence.

Highly recommended for its cinematic value.

This movie is really one of the greatest and most beautiful movies ever made. The movie has amazing effects and good cgi, the shots and scenes of the whole movie are all beautiful, and the acting is great. The movie is realistic and merciless (though at times it may be unrealistic),the movie is not afraid to kill off a character just out of nowhere, it is very dark and violent movie. The story is very engaging and great, a man left for dead by his squad and his journey to revenge. This movie is a true masterpiece 10/10.
