Good but too unrealistic to be true

Rating: 5/10 (30 December 2016)

The whole story started well and on a brilliant opening, then, it all quickly turned around a crippled man trying to survive in a supper hostile environment. By the way, the latter being an understatement. We're talking temperatures nearing -60°C, super cold water in which Di Caprio was constrained to dip himself to escape the Indians or even snow tempest. I'm not really sure how somebody being this disabled would survive in such an environment in reality.
I think the story was ruined by the angle with which this was filmed. It made the overall thing really slow and nearly unwatchable at times -; excruciating I should say, and not in a good sense.
I kind of understand where the whole story wanted to go in terms of showing the unlimited possibilities in terms of resistance of human beings but this was clearly pushed too far in terms of superhuman capabilities.
