Overrated drivel

Rating: 3/10 (27 March 2016)

I have never watched an Oscar(s) winning film that was less deserving of the award. Best actors in order: The CGI Bear The brown speckled white horse Matt Hardy The CGI Moose Every other actor in the film
There were some beautiful shots but they didn't add anything to the story or add any relevant emotion. The story was stupidly cliché. The Ree were insultingly stereotypical. The action was mostly terrible, occasionally almost mediocre. The most sympathetic character was the antagonist and this was not intentional. The three stars are for what the actors went through to make the film. The director put his crew through hell to shoot in beautiful wild locations with powerful natural light and ambiance, then basically threw it all away by using unimaginative dream sequences and overlaying stupid flashback noises. So many continuity errors. This drivel got the "best director" Oscar. Nothing in the film is worth your attention and is an excellent example of why the academy's opinion should be viewed with extreme criticism
