The Revenant is the first film since director Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu's Birdman triumph. This time around, he brings along Leonardo DiCaprio playing the 1820's frontiersman Hugh Glass fighting for survival through perseverance and the seething feeling of revenge against his former comrade John Fitzgerald played by Tom Hardy after his grave betrayal of leaving him for dead with nothing else to live for.

Let's start with the flaws people may wanna know about before watching this film. To start, it's 2 hours and 36 minutes long, meaning that certain scenes do take long to get through the story and includes various scenes of hallucinations that one could very much watch without and throughout the film, there isn't a consistent tone employed which can draw you away from certain scenes compared to others.

But aside from those negatives, this is one of the most beautiful, violent, and gut wrenching movies you will ever see in your life. The cinematography is at its finest with 2 time Oscar winner Emmanuel Lubeski maybe going 3 for 3, if you know what I mean. The direction and acting is at it's most impeccable. Some of the scenes are such cinematic achievements that we are left with our jaws dropped as to how it was so well handled and crafted. An astonishing film that will make you think and appreciate life and will make you never want to look at nature, wildlife, and bears the same way ever again. Definite watch for those wanting some competition for the upcoming awards season.
