Sad to hear this![]()
There were some people before saying that they thought it was excellent, and to be honest I watched it at home.

This joke might've worked if I said the opposite.
Watch things at home on a shit stream, expect a shit movie.There were some people before saying that they thought it was excellent, and to be honest I watched it at home.
"Empathy" is just a seven letter word I guess.But you expected the film to emotionally resonate. If I went to see a movie about two women fancying each other, I wouldn't expect to identify with their feelings - I'd expect it to feel odd.
It's all about your expectations. You expected the unexpected. I expect that's where you made your mistake.
In fairness, it wasn't a great joke. But it was made under the influence of alcohol - at 2 o'clock in the morning.

I watched it at home, it's long but in my opinion really worth it. 8/10, maybe 9 but I'm inconsistent with my ratings.Sad to hear this![]()
Yes because homosexuality is some bizarre perversion like eating shoes. Maybe I am a homosexual male?How can you empathize with a sexual orientation you don't share? If I go to a movie about a guy who regards shoe leather as a gourmet delicacy, I can watch him tuck into a pair of Oxford Brogues with ketchup all night long, but my gastric juices aren't going to flow.
The Revenant
A few great scenes, but ultimately boring. 2.5 hours, and 1 hour of it is Di Caprio crawling. 5/10

Would I watch this movie again? No. Its quite unremarkable but for a few scenes like you suggest.
The Hobbit: Battle of the 5 Armies WTF were they thinking when they extended this short novel to 3 long films. Looks great but boring and unengaging in the end largely due to the extra superfluous material. A single 3 hour film would have been brilliant. 7/10

But actually, I was looking to emotionally relate to the idea of a doomed love. Additionally I might have been able to place my feet in the shoes of someone who experiences the world differently to me.

Disappointed to see people not being too keen on The Revenant, thought the trailers looked great initially.
7/10???
Funnily enough I'm already thinking about watching it again! Wouldn't mind seeing it in the cinema as well. I can see why it's not everyones cup of tea, though.

The fact that they're all watching rips changes things I think - it definitely looks like a film for the big screen.Disappointed to see people not being too keen on The Revenant, thought the trailers looked great initially.
So dull you didn't even get the name rightThe Revenant Great looking winter set Western. Di Caprio grunts well but I lost the will to live well before the first hour (of what must have been 3 or 4) dragged past. 6/10 - 5 of which are for the cinematography

Aren't all stories pointless though?I saw a high quality version on a huge hi res screen. The look, feel and cinematography were very good indeed. These might be better still in the cinema but the reasons for my poor review would remain. It is a dull and quite pointless story told at great length.
It reminded me of Apocalypto, except that Apocalypto is a lot more entertaining.
How is this story pointless compared to other stories then?
