Summary: Washed Up and No Place to Go
Review: If you're a Tom Hanks fan, you'll enjoy this film. It's basically a one-man play featuring Hanks. If you're not a Hanks' fan it's hit or miss.Director Zemeckis does a fabulous job of putting the viewer on the island. The brunt of the film takes place on the island, with no musical score - only the background noise of the surf. It's basically a survival story in which the survivor comes out changed. Unfortunately, we don't get to see the depth of that change and we are left to wonder about his future "choices", but then isn't that how life is? Hanks and Hunt do a wonderful job playing the "couple that almost was". We get a real sense of the love and the pain and the maturity of their decision at the end of the film. Hanks realizes that what almost was can never be and goes forward with his life. All in all, the film will leave you thinking and give you much to ponder.

Summary: Still Questioning
Review: While there is no denying that Tom Hanks is a fine, fine actor and that this movie, on some level, was moving and significant it left me with no feeling. I walked away from the film feeling neither upset, excited, content, nor with any closure. It failed to evoke any inner turmoil in me - and truly, isn't that what a successful piece of film should do? Any successful piece of art? The graphics were magnificent, and the plot could have gone somewhere, but it seemed to die somewhere on the island. Tom Hanks returns home and... he can immediatly drive again? Feels totally comfortable around people? No anxiety issues about returning to work? Realistically, I think that the writers and directors skipped what could have been the more emotionally defining portion of the film. Almost all three stars are for Mr. Hanks' wonderful performance.

Summary: A good story...
Review: Cast Away was a very good movie with great action and it would keep you off your seat in the suspenseful parts, but it's a little too long for my liking. Like I said before, it's action-packed in the beginning but in the middle, it sort of became a little boring. Without any human contact, Chuck (Tom Hanks) was by himself, all alone ont the island without any sort of dialouge. Maybe the directors could put in some Indian Tribes to spice it up a bit. I reccomend it to anyone who likes the idea of survival.

Summary: A highly successful movie, Cast Away is worth your money.
Review: Cast Away is the second movie Robert Zemeckis made in 2000, and it's by far his best one. The director is bringing out a lot of worthy films at the moment, and choosing to work with Tom Hanks an awful lot is the right answer to success. So, what makes Cast Away worth seeing? From the trailer, it looks like a guy gets stranded on an island, yes? Well, the movie has a deeper meaning to it - it's about not abandoning what you believe in and never giving up on hope. We've probably all heard that meaning before, but since it is only one actor playing all of it out by himself, it seems somehow more complex and detailed. Tom Hanks' performance is absolutely brilliant; his most memorable yet playing a character that has morals everyone should follow. Helen Hunt isn't in this movie much, but when Hanks and her pucker up, it's one of the most magical moments in the movie. Cast Away is adventurous, daring, sickening and beautiful, I highly recommend it.

Summary: Should've Been Oscar Nominated For Best Picture & Director!
Review: Ever since 1992s "A League of Their Own", Tom Hanks has been on a roll. His films have been critically acclaimed as well as hugely successful, ranging from modest (That Thing You Do! & The Green Mile) to Box Office Kings (Forrest Gump & Saving Private Ryan). How does he do it? Well with Cast Away, Mr. King Midas strikes Gold again, with a simple tale of a man who crash lands on an island and must survive it's hardships for four years. Sounds simple, huh? And you might think a movie, even with Hanks in it, about one person on an island for most of the time may seem boring. Not a chance. Cast Away breaks down the human being in us all and lets us discover who we truly are inside, by watching Chuck Noland (NO LAND) discover for himself what it takes to sustain his own life and well being. The love for a woman he left behind, that he looks at with a picture in a pocket watch she gave him when last they were together. There are layers and layers of depth to this piece that is so compelling, if you're not emotional by the end, check yourself for a pulse. Those that love this film have already fallen in love with Wilson, a vollyball with a bloodpainted face, drawn by Chuck, to have as a companion. Sounds nuts, you say? Try being alone for four years and see how long it takes you to make up a friend to talk to. Wilson represents Chuck's hopes and determination in himself. He needs Wilson to be there. I have never gottan more choked up over a vollyball in my entire life, but when you watch that one scene on the raft, well, your heart just breaks...and I know it's crazy because Wilson is not a real person...or is he? Anyone who scoffs at the ending are really too busy to take the time to get the point of what Cast Away is all about. I am so tired of these cute little endings where the guy gets the girl in the end, when in reality, we all know it doesn't always work out that way. But you take from Cast Away what you bring to it, and that's what the ending is about. Which direction to take now? Not sure. But at least "Tomorrow the sun will rise". The DVD extras are FANTASTIC. So many featurettes that don't feel like featurettes..they feel like short documentaries..and there's even one all about Wilson! But my favorite is the Charlie Rose interview with Hanks, who is such a delight..it's truly a great interview. I really wish he could've participated in the audio commentary, but he's so busy. One mistake I noticed..the details on the back of the case state that Cast Away is presented in anamorphic widescreen with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1, which is incorrect..it's only 1.85:1. But with tons of trailers and interviews and featurettes, it really makes little difference to me. Grab this movie on DVD, and get ready for an experience you'll never forget. And Mr. Hanks? May your streak of hits never end!

Summary: Amazing!
Review: This movie is a must see. Usually You would think that if a movie had few speaking parts that it would not keep your interest. For Cast Away this was not the case. While Chuck Noland(Tom Hanks) is trapped on the island The only person he has to speak to is a volley ball (Wilson). This movie will keep your total attention. I highly recommend seeing it today.

Review: I liked Wilson! This movie was good, but since there was so little dialouge, there should have been more music to keep it from getting too boring.
