Great movie. Experience the frontier of the early 1800s in a way you've never before.

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2016)

Very gripping movie in the sense that it grips your attention and pulls you into the world it creates. "The Revenant" is an immersive experience. I found it harrowing but I was thrilled to be pulled into another time when things with almost none of the creature comforts that we take for granted.
The story has so many surprising plot twists that it's astounding to realize that it's a true story.
I was thrilled that Leonardo DiCaprio won the Best Actor Academy for this movie. In no way do I think that he was given the award because the voters believe he finally deserved it. He out right won the award.
Although it was one of the best movies of the year. It was not the Best Movie of the year. As much as I like "The Revenant" I was pleased that it didn't win. "The Spotlight" deserved to win. I never expected it would because so seldom does the best movie actually win the Best Movie Academy Award.
