Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s The Revenant is the latest film to receive the honest trailer treatment by Screen Junkies. This year the drama won an Oscar for Best Picture and garnered Leonardo DiCaprio his first Best Actor win.
“From Leonardo DiCaprio… comes a production that put the cast through physical and mental torture to film, and put the audience through two and a half hours of mild boredom to watch,” the voice-over begins.
The trailer goes on to say the film is an “epic Oscar bait featuring a true story about a historical figure, plus a son he never had, and a poetic ending where he finally gets the revenge the real guy never had.”
Emmanuel Lubezki’s cinematography was also the subject of a few jokes, “Did they just put the camera down and forget it was rolling?” DiCaprio’s bison liver meal and Tom Hardy’s mumbling also get teased.
The Revenant is now available own on Digital HD and iTunes. Watch the honest trailer below.
