Chris H Enen though this movie is 11 hours long, it is VERY good. I’m an old soul so I usually like my movies around 2 hours and my shows around 30 minutes. But on a flight from North Carolina to Texas, this movie is perfect. This movie definitely makes me feel blessed to be living in this 2020s, and not the 1820s. Storyline, characters, action, all hit the mark. Leo definitely deserved an Oscar and lastly, if you see me fighting a bear…help the bear!! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Blu B All Time Classic. The cinematography is exceptional. You are immersed in the cold harsh frontier. The handheld wide angles are plenty here and it makes you feel like your actually standing right there with DiCaprio. The on location setting is incredibly beautiful and haunting. The bear attack, meeting the indian friend, final battle, and all the other trials of survival are so memorable here. It's a very quiet film with not much in the way of dialouge especialy when it's just DiCaprio. The acting is phenominal also. Everyone is really good here especially the villian too who is really despicable. But DiCaprio just carries this pouring his heart into the performance with amazing physical acting as well. He is amazing in this and really shows why he is one of the best actors of his generation. As well written and simple as this is, he has great charisma. The pacing is amazing too. It's weird because not much happens for such a long film in a sense. But it's just loaded with so much action that keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire way. War Battles, Bear attacks, final conflicts, life or death situations nonstop that have such amazing buildup. It's sucha quiet film but just ramps up the intensity on a dime. The editing is excellent too. It never feels like stuff just happens and even when we cut away to the other parties it always is smooth and makes perfect sense why. The music is really good too. It's not the most catchy thing but it's used really well and just enhances the quiet but haunting mood perfectly. This is very much cut from the same cloth as a film like Jeremiah Johnson as a Survival Western. But also something like Cast Away as well where it's visual storytelling of survival and an adventure across the west for revenge. On top of unique and exceptional direction this is something everyone should give a try once watching.

Rating: 10/10 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Frans B DiCaprio at his absolute best. Great editing, camera work, continuity. Gripping from start to end, absolute must see Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Chris D A pretty incredible movie. If you're just looking for the famously brutal bear attack scene, you won't be disappointed. At risk of mild spoilers, it is not graphic in the sense that some social media claimed it was. We start immediately with an action scene that has some optimistic estimates of the lethality of arrows, and from there the film gets more grounded, higher quality, and eventually much more meaningful. The only real complaint I have is with my experience today with Rotten Tomatoes, which for some reason has Judy Bernan's 'Flavorwire' clickbait linked above. Careful with the 'full review' button if you don't like ads or 5 page articles that look written by a bot.
