Picturesque

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2016)

The cinematography in this film is truly stunning. Capturing the elements was pivotal in this film and the way it has been portrayed through the lens is breath taking. The Landscape shots are incredible making the movie look and feel real. Very Strong Performances from Di Caprio (Hugh Glass) and Hardy (John Fitzgerald) make the movie a must see.
Two scenes in particular I found to be epic.
The bear attack scene as it was very realistic, everything the bear did seemed instinctive and natural, whether it was the bear sniffing to see if Glass was dead or standing on him to break his bones. This was the first major event in the film which started Glass's struggle to survive.
The final fight scene was perfect in my opinion, nothing was over the top.There was quite a long build up to the fight, which made it all the more sweeter, it was truly a struggle for both men. With a perfect revenge for Glass after what Fitzgerald did to him.
Credit to Domhnall Gleeson (Andrew Henry) for a great performance in another supporting role backing up his recent strong performance in The Force Awakens. His career is reaching new heights as he explores different roles.
Overall I loved the cinematography and the sound effects, there was never any doubt this blockbuster movie would deliver with this all star cast.
