4) The Revenant [1/12/2016]

Intellectually, I knew what I was seeing was meant to be incredible, and I can see why other people regarded the movie so highly.  The cinematography alone was worth seeing the film on the big screen.  Like Birdman, it was full of long, well-frame shots, but unlike Birdman, this movie was filmed in some beautiful locations.  Leonardo DiCaprio was good, and Tom Hardy held his own. All in all, though, the movie left me flat.  It was interesting enough, but I just couldn't get into the story (particularly the father-son dynamic) and the ending was too Lord-of-the-Rings-esque for my tastes.
