A great film about man vs nature.

Rating: 8/10 (15 January 2016)

After being nominated for 12 Oscars I knew I had to watch the revenant and it is a great film. The premise sees a man seek revenge after being mauled by a bear and left for dead by his men. Leonardo di caprio is one of the best actors around and he continues in this film, this is probably his most physical performance ever and I really did feel sorry for his character as he went through this emotional journey. Tom hardy plays the villain in this film and he is great in this film being a rugged bad guy who is truly menacing. Domnhall gleeson fresh off of his appearance in star wars the force awakens is really good in this film and delivered a good secondary character to root for. This is definitely will poulters best role ever and he was really good in this film. The story of the conflict between di caprio and hardy is really good and easily the most interesting part of the film. However, there is some bizarre secondary plot involving some aboriginal people that just really doesn't fit in the film. The script had some decent dramatic dialogue, but it does lack the depth of some other films that holds it back. The style of this film is incredible, the action scenes are crisp and smooth and the cinematography being beautiful. Also the score totally encapsulates this films tone. Overall this is a great film that deserves its plaudits.
