The First Clip From ‘The Revenant’ Is Absolutely Stunning!

Briefly: There’s no denying that Alejandro González Iñarritu The Revenant looks phenomenal, and it’s arguably (from the limited footage that we’ve seen thus far) the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous film that we’ll see this year.

Early buzz for the film has been unanimously spectacular, with essentially the entire internet saying that this is finally the year that Leo gets his Oscar.

The very first clip from the film has made its way online, and it shows off more of the same perplexing beauty that we’ve seen from the rest of the film’s marketing. While I didn’t love Alejandro’s Birdman, the Revenant looks like something incredibly special.

Inspired by true events, THE REVENANT is an immersive and visceral cinematic experience capturing one man’s epic adventure of survival and the extraordinary power of the human spirit. In an expedition of the uncharted American wilderness, legendary explorer Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is brutally attacked by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team. In a quest to survive, Glass endures unimaginable grief as well as the betrayal of his confidant John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). Guided by sheer will and the love of his family, Glass must navigate a vicious winter in a relentless pursuit to live and find redemption. THE REVENANT is directed and co-written by renowned filmmaker, Academy Award® winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu (Birdman, Babel).

Take a look at the new clip below, and let us know what you think! The Revenant hits (some) theatres on December 25th, and goes wide on January 8th!
