Watch the original

Rating: 5/10 (25 November 2018)

This story was told once before in 1971's "Man in the Wilderness" starring Richard Harris. It's not the greatest movie ever made but it is a lot better than "The Revenant". "The Revenant" is ruined by the camera work. It's filled with non-stop extreme close ups and tons of footage shot with some "fish eye" type of lens. It's wildly distracting. This movie looks like your watching a shooter style video game. The camera is also constantly spinning around. To what end? I don't know. I'm surprised audiences didn't get motion sickness watching this film.
