What on earth were the writers thinking?

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2016)

OK let's state the obvious - the photography, wide lenses everywhere, and long tracking shots that Inarritu employs here (a la Birdman) are just beautiful. The story moves along and keeps you riveted and there's plenty to leave up to interpretation which is what puts his films on that next level. Towards the end of the film, Glass returns triumphantly to the camp.
Then the unthinkable script failure occurs.. what were the writers thinking? They set it up so that ONLY Glass and the Captain go after the bad guy? How can you ruin a film this epic so easily? the moment I saw those 2 riding out of the camp I almost turned it off as the rest of the story was then 100% predictable. And then just when you think it couldn't get worse than that, the 2 protagonists split up to find the bad guy! *bangs head*
