Review of The Revenant (2015) by Greg E — 26 May 2016

The Revenant is like a two hour anxiety attack. Left to die in the forest after being mauled by a grizzly bear, the main character, Hugh Glass, must endure and overcome impossible odds to survive. Survival, though, is not his goal.

Vengeance is his goal, and what he is willing to do to get it is simply awe inspiring. The film captures all this and then gives you the breathtaking views of the wilderness itself. You can literally feel the cold of winter as you watch.

Oh, and how could I forget the never ending threat of being attacked by the natives, who have no love loss for the white men in their territory. So from the outstanding cinematography to the acting itself, you can't help but to get fully immersed in every aspect of this story.
