Leonardo DiCaprio Says 'The Revenant' Will Be "One Of The Most Unique Film-Going Experiences" Ever

While "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" will be a major a cinematic event, it will be one that at its core, is powered by nostalgia. And while that's not to diminish what J.J. Abrams is cooking up, it should be said that Alejandro G. Inarritu's "The Revenant" is exciting largely because it looks unlike anything else coming to theaters in December. You'd be hard press to find a movie in recent memory that it resembles. Shot in a natural light, on tough locations, and telling a gritty story of vengeance, it's aiming to be something visually and dramatically distinct, and lead actor Leonardo DiCaprio has a big claim to make.

“It’s going to be one of the most unique film-going experiences that audiences have seen in modern times,” he told Yahoo Movies. Damn, those are some bold words. And the actor makes it clear a lot of sacrifice went into the movie.
