Not quite sure what to say

Rating: 8/10 (23 January 2016)

The story of Hugh Glass and his survival through the cold winter is amazing. It's a strong and powerful story, and it was crazy to watch.
The cinematography - done by Emmanuel Lubezki - was absolutely over the top. Everything was filmed perfectly and it had some amazing shots, especially with Leonardo DiCaprio. But it shouldn't surprise anyone that Lubezki can do something so well. Anyway, the plot is a bit thin, but it shouldn't have been done differently, because I'm a fan of sticking to the real story as much as possibly, and Alejandro Iñárritu did a great job at changing small things about the story, so that it would fit a movie - maybe an Oscar- winning movie, who knows?
Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy are absolutely flawless in this one. I couldn't recognize Hardy at all. If I hadn't know it was him from the beginning, I wouldn't have known. They played their roles so well, and even though there wasn't a lot of talk, and most of the conversations was foreign, it still worked because the actors did their part on showing us what they felt without saying anything.
It's a very strong movie, and there's not a lot of happy, fluffy feeling in it - just to let you know. It's an action movie about death and survival and races. It's beautifully done, and the costumes are amazing, and the make-up even better. You'll definitely miss something by not watching it.
