Finally saw this movie (yes 4 years late) and I understand why Leonardo won the Oscar, along with the many academy awards the movie and director won. It is a cinematic masterpiece. The cinematography is amazing, the whole cast (Tom Hardy is great here) is great. The costumes and weapons used (early 1800s) look so damn good. The story is very simple and not complicated. It is about revenge and surviving in the cold and icy wilderness of 1823. The action scenes are brutal and gritty, like they should be for that time period. Officially in my top 10 movies of all time. If you've never seen this film, do yourself a favor and rent it or buy it. It definitely deserves to be in your collection. Some people might not like all the spiritual stuff or reading subtitles (lots of Native American language here) but it is needed since there a lot of interaction with Native American tribes here. FINAL REVIEW 10/10

As mentioned 10/10 for the scenic cinematography and direction. But storyline is totally Unrealistic. I mean u will see Leonardo DiCaprio surviving a giant bear attack, surviving a 150ft fall , surviving a swim in a freezing cold river, surviving a group of indians firing in a close range, surviving don't know how many knife stabs.. totally Tollywood/ bollywood style where Lead hero won't die no Matter how much ever ways of killing u try, but villians die just with a one shot !! Not happy with the over unrealistic storyline.

I love this movie . This film is a milestone in cinematography. Great Immersive camera-work. This film is an experience and i has already seen it 4 times and I only see more quality of the film.
