You'll need reveille after The Revenant...

Rating: 3/10 (18 January 2016)

This is one of the l-o-n-g-e-s-t movies you will ever sit through. The story runs out of gas long before (about an HOUR before) the credits roll. Two and a half hours to tell a story that could have been told in an hour. That was just one of the worst things about it.
Leo gets mauled by a bear while his hunting party gets nearly wiped out by hostile Indians. The remnant of those left alive try to haul him back with them, but soon find that the terrain is impossible to traverse carrying his litter, so he is left in the care of a couple guys who leave him and claim that he was dead when they left him.
But, before I get too far, let me say that Leo could have avoided a lot of his mauling had he lain still and played dead after the bear's first attack. Instead, when the she bear ambles back to her cubs, he starts crawling to his rifle and takes a pot shot at her. So, on to mauling number two. Duh.
He spends the rest of the movie surviving disaster after disaster with horrific wounds without succumbing to the elements. Totally unbelievable.
The dialog is utterly incomprehensible...everyone mumbles into their beards...so if you catch even a few words, you're doing well.
Long, boring and unbelievable...those three words sum up The Revenant.
