The survival drama digs itself out a shallow grave on Ultra HD Blu-ray along with it’s day-and-date Blu-ray counterpart, giving early adopters the opportunity to compare the differences between the two, and they are fascinating differences to say the least. At startup, the disc goes straight to the main menu with full-motion clips and music. The new UHD disc sits comfortably opposite a Region A locked, BD50 disc inside a black, eco-cutout case. At the moment, we are unable to verify if the correct size of the content, or if the disc is dual-layered or tripled-layered. A movie, which in short, is one of the very best of last year.Ģ0th Century Fox Home Entertainment brings 'The Revenant' to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray as a two-disc combo pack with a flyer for a Digital HD Copy. A movie that wholly respects its setting, giving ample room for the stunning but frozen locale to engulf anyone who watches it. A movie that treats its characters with respect, having the patience to see the story through without rushing anything. A movie that takes simple humanistic motivations and magnifies them. A movie that will seethe in your brain long after you see it. Add in famed cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki's magical abilities, and the result is an absolutely stunning film experience. His eye is keen, and his ability to capture beauty – even in brutality – is this film's defining characteristic. Like some alien world that city dwellers couldn't even imagine existing. The way he frames actor's faces in order to accentuate microscopic expressions, or the way he takes in the natural wonder of the wilderness he's filming, making it look like some otherworldly forest. Its technical beauty doesn't overshadow its story, rather it adds depth to it. Iñárritu's 'Birdman' felt like it was showing off and too cool for the rest of us plebes. Yet, in spite of all that there are many genuinely touching moments involved in DiCaprio's performance. His interactions with his son are affirming and heartbreaking. Yes there's a lot of grunting, crawling around in the muck, and eating raw liver. What I do know is that this performance isn't all about surviving. Perhaps the marketing of DiCaprio's performance soured people on it. And the harmony between DiCarpio and Forrest Goodluck is palpable.ĭiCaprio critics said he 'just had to survive' this role. The touching relationship between Glass and his son is infinitely moving. It's a transformation that is all about grit, and ice, and blood.

This is some of DiCaprio's best work, as he embodies the tortured character of Hugh Glass and exposes the personal demons that are slowly revealed throughout the movie. It's impossible not to feel cold just watching it. If it were possible for a movie to give you hypothermia this one would. While it's billed as a revenge flick, it's more a story of man versus nature. Something that fuels his survival and would-be revenge.

Glass is eventually left for dead by his party. It's a scene that will stick with you, for better or worse. One of those moments in cinema that will leave you wondering, “How exactly did they do that?” The technical prowess exhibited in filming something like that is astounding. The story lacks a conventional structure as it seamlessly passes from one scene to the next, dreamlike. It's a situation that rankles others in the party, most notably John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). The party's navigator, Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) has brought his son along with him, who happens to be half white man, half native. 'The Revenant,' which is based in part on Michael Punke's novel of the same name, tells the story of a group of mountain men trappers who become stranded in frigid, snow-covered mountains after suffering an attack by a war party of Cree Indians. It's this technique and his sense of what creates interesting cinema that gives 'The Revenant' its visual heft, visuals which are grand, sweeping, and inspiring. His camera floats in and out of a scene like a specter. Director Alejandro Iñárritu employs the same fluid camerawork that made 2014's ' Birdman' such a technical success.
