The Revenant

Absolutely right. This is a movie made for the big screen theater, not a tv screen.
Can't imagine it would be any where near as good at home.

Loved the book, hated the movie.

Unless your are at my home where I have:

A huge screen.

A finely tuned projector.

Superb sounding 7 channel surround sound.

No sticky floors.

No chronically coughing strangers with lungs filled with germ saturated phlegm in the room.

Popcorn with real butter.

A really comfortable home theater seat with buttery-soft leather, a headrest, power recline and no sticky boogers left by the previous occupant to get on my popcorn eating hand.

All this, and after watching The Revenant, I still said: “Come for the bear mauling, stay for the scenery.” //www.city-data.com/forum/44136386-post204.html

^^^Power recline. How can we live without power recline anyway? The effort to manually recline? It is exhausting to even consider. Shudder.

It is quite a boring movie.

English language that is spoken in the movie is not understandable. There is little talking but when one talks, it is not understandable.

Certainly not unique to this movie. I find the dialog of many recent movies so muddy I can't make out much, even at higher volumes. So sorry I don't happen to have sophisticated surround sound at home to make up for a cr&$$% soundtrack and won't be getting it. It isn't due to hearing loss. Had that checked recently.

The cinematography was excellent, the rest just average.

Even after a double dose of suspension of disbelief pills, much of what he survived was a little hard to believe. Prime example of many: a movie cliché winter trip down a icy cold river, submerged in water, through the rapids and over a waterfall and no death by hypothermia?

It all got a little tedious at times. I took me three nights to get through the whole movie.

Of course, the racist, bigoted bad guy was the one with the strongest southern accent.

He would have died from Hypothermia after 5 minutes in that water.
