The Revenant


Inspired by true events, The Revenant is an immersive and visceral cinematic experience capturing one man’s epic adventure of survival and the extraordinary power of the human spirit. 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. In a quest to survive, Glass endures unimaginable grief as well as the betrayal of his confidant John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). 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. The Revenant is directed and co-written by renowned filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu.

Damn!  This movie was amazing.  The way it went back and forth between super quiet and calm to total and violent chaos kept you from ever getting too comfortable.  The bear attack scene might be one of the craziest things I've ever seen on film.  And the filming style makes you feel like you are right there.  Leonardo DiCaprio was awesome as always.  This might be his best performance honestly.  And Tom Hardy continues to become the man.

I absolutely recommend that everyone check this out.  It's an amazing movie and definitely one of the best ones of the year.
