Review of The Revenant (2015) by Julie T — 15 Dec 2016

Also known as Leonardo has a really bad day. An embroidered true story of a fur trapper who has a series of unfortunate events, first his fur trapping gang is attacked by hostile Indians , then after escaping he personally is attacked by a similarly hostile bear, and things sort of go down hill from there on in.

Not wishing to spoil what is a pretty good movie I will stop there ( many of us I feel would have stopped right there, but Mr. Glass is made of sterner stuff ) . Please do not watch this with a head cold, you'll end up with pneumonia , I suggest a hot water bottle even for those in tropical climates, and possibly animal lovers might want to give it a miss.

Not many laughs , but a decent plot and good special effects but note to director, never ever let snow or rain fall onto the camera lense , it reminds the audience that there's a film crew and that the protagonists are not in a real life situation, yes we knew it was a film but we didn't need it shoved down our throats.
