One of the best films of all time

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2016)

First, before I begin this review I would like to say that I will talk in depth about many aspects of the movie and plot, and how they are good, but I will not tell you what happens in the plot of the movie EXCEPT who the main antagonist is. So if you are not up for that then I suggest clicking off, but I have still out a spoiler warning just to be on the safe side.
Now this movie has to be one of the best movies I have seen up to date so far. The reason why is because I believe that they did everything near perfect. First, let us talk about performances because they are one of the things that make this movie great. The performances in this movie were phenomenal, but in particular, Leonardo's performance had to be one of the best that I have seen up to date. Why is this performance so good? The reason why is because throughout watching this film I found that playing this role looked like it must have been one of the hardest roles to play in movie history, and Leonardo did it perfectly. Not only did he perform the scenes well, but he also did an amazing job portraying all the characters mental and physical struggles that he will have to endure as he goes through his journey, which made Leonardo's performance even more beautiful to watch. I would also like to mention Tom Hardy's performance as well. I found that he gave a good performance. He did a good job not only as a supporting character, but also as an antagonist, which was important for the movie as a hole.
Next, I would like to talk about scenery and the action sequences. First off, the scenery in this film looked so incredibly beautiful. What made it beautiful was not only the amazing shots of the sky, mountains, and snow, but also the fact that there was almost no CGI whatsoever. These both made the scenery look a lot more crisp and amazing. Now the action sequences, I honestly think that the action sequences were well done. They were quick paced, and combined with the score (which I will talk about later) were also thrilling and made the scenes come to life across the screen.
Last but not least the Cinematography and score. The cinematography in this movie was just extremely good. They did an excellent job on it and it really helped escalate the intensity of the movie, which prevented it from being boring and dry. The score also goes hand and hand with the cinematography and overall the movie itself. It perfectly fit in all the right places and made scenes even more thrilling and dramatic as well.
Now before I end this review I did not talk about the plot much not only to prevent spoilers but also because it is based on a true story so I decided to not focus on that. I would also like to say that Alejandro González Iñárritu is an amazing director that deserves his accomplishments and success.
Overall, I would give this a 9.5 because no movie is perfect and I might have missed something on the way. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day.
