The Revenant - 4K Blu-Ray [Standard] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]

Breathtaking and heartbreaking. Those are two of the very best terms I can use to describe this film. I went to the theater to see this film, which was packed to the gills even during a matinee (shocking in a sort of town like mine unless a Marvel film is out). It certainly provoked a lot of reactions out of people. It’s •not• for the faint of heart. If you’re sensitive to violence, blood, open wounds or anything similar then this is not a movie for you. I remember sitting on the edge of my theater seat when the bear scene took place. Leonardo DiCaprio is an actor that was, once upon a time, trendy to hate. It might still be trendy to hate him, but who knows? In my opinion, he delivers a heartfelt performance in every movie he’s in and transforms himself into whomever he is portraying - whether that be a homeless, free spirited young man known as Jack Dawson on the grandest ship in the world for its time, a has-been (his character’s words, not mine) actor who pairs up with his stunt double in a friendship to take down some of Manson’s gang with a flame thrower, or everything in between. His portrayal of Hugh Glass is no exception. Leo is superb and makes me - and probably many others - think he truly is who he’s playing. In the case of this movie he is a broken man who survives the most treacherous of circumstances to exact revenge. The scenery is beautiful. The justice served is beautiful. The spiritual message tucked into this movie is beautiful. It’s not a movie I can put in once a month to wind down from my stresses, but on certain days this movie is exactly what I need. I highly recommend it. The 4K Blu-ray is crisp and makes the plentiful nature scenes pop!

Not only is the camera work superb but the filmmaker virtually takes you back to early American life in the West. The way the main character connects with his family and struggles through immense pain... I mean if a bearded millionaire who drives a Prius came near my cubs, I'd claw him nearly to death too. #oscarbuzzforthegrizzly

Got this during last year's Black Friday weekend for $5 - worth it if you have a 4k player. Good upgrade from blu ray.

Best movie of 2015 without a doubt, Inarritu knocks it out the park with DiCaprio in a Man v Nature movie of the millennium! My only gripe is that my Best Buy story when I placed it to pick up handled the casing so badly, the outer casing had wear and tear it was bad, but I didn't want to complain I needed this movie!
