See it on the big screen!

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2016)

Firstly a criticism - it's just a bit too long and realistically you have to suspend belief at DiCaprio's survival in such extreme conditions.
But despite that, this is a very good movie and really does benefit from seeing it on the big screen. The locations and cinematography are just absolutely stunning! Good solid story - although quite simple. The acting is top quality. I have no doubt DiCaprio will get the Oscar for his starring role. Don't think the movie will get Best Picture - it's up against stiff competition. I'm in awe of just how this movie was filmed in such conditions!!! The scenes with the bear will leave you breathless and open-mouthed! Undoubtedly one of the best movies of 2015 and deserves your time. If your attention wanes at times, just admire the scenery and locations - that's what I did!
I have no hesitation in recommending this movie. It has appeal for all ages and tastes.
