Best movie with 1 dimensional characters and 4 dimensional scenery 4/10

Rating: Null/10 (11 January 2016)

I just got out of this movie. It was an experience, so I can give it that. But also it is pretty much a grittier version of the frontier cliché, sights, battles, cowboys and indians, rapes.
The more I read and really find out about the frontier the less I think we know about it, and our movies don't really help us here.
I am surprised that people rate this movie so highly. I think it has to be Leonardo Di Caprio because for some reason people seem to like him as a box office star. I like Di Caprio precisely because I don't really care about him or think he is that great, so that is what I want to see in an actor ... someone who is not that Hollywoodish.
Leo and the cast did a great job. The think I had a problem with was that I could only hear about 10% of the dialog, which improved the movie because you follow what is going on more with your gut than with your mind.
The white men were rotten, the Indians were rotten and noble. The land is the real beauty of this movie, our planet is just spectacular and we ought to pay a lot more attention to it than to just throw it in to make our crappy movies look better.
The problem was that as I said, the characters were one-dimensional, they moved through the movie like the fake disembodied movie characters they were. The special effects were fantastic. I cannot imagine how they did some of the animal scenes. I am pretty sure the bear was CGI, but it looked and acted real, and should probably be the only thing that gets an Oscar in the movie, but Star War will win for that.
Loved the movie, there was just not that much to it, and it had no real lasting impact or point. Bottom line it is a loss and revenge picture which puts it in the class with all the action movies that get made in a year, except that it is a beautiful Western.
