Absolutely the worst movie.

Absolutely Fantastic

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Story line was muddled, what in the hell was this crew doing, why etc.. ?couldn't understand half of what was said. many of the characters looked alike so hard to tell who was who.great bear attack scene but really, a grizzly would have torn his head off and sucked the blood right out of him..so how did he survive 2 attacks- with no infection ? I liked de caprio but really some of this was too far fetched to believe ex. riding a pony off a 80 foot cliff..landing in a tree...again, no breakien bones? beautiful setting, and filming .the original was easier to follow..made more sense.

I'm thinking this is one of the best films I've seen in years. Acting, production, scenery (of course), and camera work were all top notch. I know people wanted better character development and not such long stretches of quiet but the way it was filmed brings you back to that date and time, makes you know what it must have really been like trying to make a living hunting and trapping amongst tribes of Indians whom we were impinging on their way of life and ruining what was always their land, their animals and especially their ways. The bear attack was phenomenal and so real I nearly screamed out loud and I've never done that at any movie, ever. The attempts to save each other, when to run, when to not attempt to save others, all these things caused you to put yourself in their shoes and that's what I love in a story. Not how it's contrived or how it stands up to other contrived stories. It was a story that needed to be told, was extremely well acted, the scenery was worth the whole thing then you get so much more. Emotionally moving and stunningly delivered.

I haven't seen this before tonight on TV (damn ads) and wow that was something else. The cinematography is exceptional and it's that scenery that keeps the action flowing, and the acting was so real it brought me right into the Film. I don't comment here often because I'm a man of few words but sometimes I'm compelled to say something after seeing this. All in all I gave it a ten because I can't really fault it.

While this film does contain some beautiful performances and cinematography, that's about it. The spirit of human nature has been done before. While the DiCaprio character's survival is amazing - the film bogs down a bit as he crawls and finally walks out of his predicament. Decent, but not a film that I'd need to see again.
