Very enjoyable movie to watch. A major complaint though is the conveyance of time. The movie probably transpires over a month or more seeing how they talk about a months worth of rations before leaving. However when watching in real time it seems as though the trip took a week or so. So the complete 180 of feelings that Christian Bales character has just doesn’t seem authentic but rather forced for the narrative. Same with Rosamund Pike’s character. They both start out absolutely loathing Natives but after, again, what seems like a week, maybe 2 at most, they now kill for them and even adopt one????
If you don’t know the concept of how slow traveling by horse is and take major note of them saying they have over a months rations of food. You don’t really feel the emotional change that happens with the characters. If they would of conveyed this more (with growing beards, mentioning of food left, or just out right saying it) it would of helped the message more and made it more impactful. 7/10
