Epic masterpiece worthy of every award it wins. spoilers, sorry.

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2016)

Title says it all, tied with 2 others for best movie I've seen in a decade? I do watch them, movies, sometimes, just this one is so vastly superior. 20/10 I honestly didn't think I'd like it, Mr. DiCaprio isn't a fav and the premise seemed weak to me, I've lived sorta close to this kind of experience before, so it's kinda old-hat to me. And then I watched it twice. I did not waste my time, I had to watch it again, it was just that good. I do gotta say that the lack of concern about staying wet and cold bothered me a lot. I got moderate hypothermia one spring when I was a teen by falling asleep with no blankets or padding on the floor of a concrete porch at 5-7 Celsius, and the hero goes over a waterfall series and then floats for what seems like hours, then doesn't even light a fire and get dry right away before it fades to black on him? First watch through, I swore he was a gonna, no doubt in my mind.ANd I still couldn't blink. But the whole cast and crew deserve an Oscar each, pulling off that level of "I can't take my eyes off it even to blink" in SPITE of an issue that for me would normally kill my interest marks this truly one of the best flicks ever. I'm even gonna push this one on my unsuspecting friends. They'll thank me for it, I'm sure. ANd I am a very harsh critic who is normally silent, particularly about this sort of film,but I logged in here just because I had to comment somewhere about this real modern marvel of the world. Must have been filmed somewhere near BC, Canada, this looked just like my backyard 5 years ago, and my experiences were based in a valley coulda been the one he drinks water from that first time, I honestly couldn't tell the diff.
