Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2016)

Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu's "The Revenant" is a magnificent force of pure cinematic talent. This is one of the greatest movies ever made, and is the best of 2015. "The Revenant" stars Leonardo Dicaprio as Hugh Glass, a fur-trapper in the 1820s who is brutally mauled by a bear and is left for dead by John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy is a gritty role), causing Glass to seek revenge while trying to survive in the treachery of the western wilderness. Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu strikes again with amazing directing that organizes the look and feeling of the film perfectly. Innaritu doesn't tell you a story, he puts you into it and makes you connect with a film instead of view one. Cinematogrpaher Emmauel Lubuzki (who deserves his third straight Oscar) crafts beautiful shots of both his subjects and the natural setting the film revolves in. It's an amazing work of art that Lubuzki makes, giving "The Revenant" a beautiful visual appeal. "The Revenant" is all about nature, more specifically man vs nature, man vs man and man vs self. Hugh Glass encounters all three challenges and experiences nature in many forms, nut just from nature in the wild, but human nature of all types. We understand Glass's feelings through his eyes and through his encounters with various native Americans (who are also enemies of the fur trappers). With spectacular acting by Leo and Tom Hardy, "The Revanant" delivers a magnificent artistic vision of survival and conflict while engaging viewers in a cinematic experience like no other that tests the questions of life.
