The most spectacular move of the year (and no FX)

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2015)

I am not a fan Iñárritu; but I concede I saw all his directed movies since AMORES PERROS. I went to THE REVENAT with doubts; mostly because having seen the original about 40 years ago, still remember it as boring and depressing. However; when I saw this version trailer; the images were so amazing that I felt the urge to see it. Well, I was not disappointed at all.
The story is pretty much the same but told in much more bearable way (the original Richard Harris spent 90% of the movie alone). But are the images and effects that stand out; created by using wide angle lenses on close ups and moving the camera on 360 degrees; creating immersive images that easily transmit to other senses. You feel the cold, the water and the suffering.
If Iñárritu tried to demostrate that nature is the greatest and most spectacular (and dangerous) thing in this world; he succeed. The digitally created THE FORCE AWAKENS should hide ashamed of what has been achieved with a camera and some lenses.
Just the Indians or the Bear attacks; completely compensates the price of the ticket; but there is more from where that came from in this incredible movie.
The acting is superb. It required very humble and committed actors to accept these roles.
Tom Hardy is terrifying in a character that pure selfishness and not allow a hint of sympathy. Di Caprio in his most physical interpretation until today is outstanding. You are able to feel his pain and suffering.
In brief; if you want to see the most spectacular images or the most terrifying fight man vs nature. Just go and see this movie.
