Summary: Plenty of Replay Value
Review: If you want a movie that will have replay value, give this one a try. I've watched this movie about 4 times already, and I expect to be able to watch it once a year or so for some time to come. Very solid. And the version that has extra features is really nice: where the survival experts talk about what it would really be like to stay alive in a situation like what is in this movie.

Summary: Cast Away casts itself away from the stereotype
Review: Although many people enjoy the high-flying, loud, skull-thumping action movies that Hollywood jabs down our throats, Cast Away proves that some filmmakers attempt to break the mold. The movie begins with a beautiful image: the desolate Texas plains. As the movie moves along, we are introduced to Chuck Noland, a live-by-the-clock systems engineer for FedEx. His fast-paced lifestyle is rudely interrupted by a plane crash, leaving him stranded on an island with only his wits, a pair of ice skates, and a marraige dissolution. I found this middle section to be intriguing because it is a kind of "silent movie:" visual pictures are painted and we don't need dialogue or a cheesy, sappy score to ruin it. I think this is the best attribute of the movie: Silvestri wrote only a 10-minute score which is only heard as Chuck escapes the island. As Chuck is found and he rediscovers himself, we are treated with fascinating twists. First, he DOES NOT win the girl back, which is typical of most Hollywood nonsense. Also, the heart-felt ending leaves much to the imagination. A visual feast for all. The best movie ever made.

Summary: A PARABLE OF LIFE--ALL LIVES
Review: If you watch Cast Away simply as a movie then you will lose a powerful opportunity for introspection. The power of this movie lies in its applicability to everyone. To Hanks' character the island is far more than a hunk of rock in the South Pacific. It represents a huge hurdle for him to clear and in clearing it his coming to grips with his life and who he is. Regardless of who you are there are times in life that relegate us to times and situations of frustrating solitude, our own islands, if you will. We, like Hanks' character, run ourselves crazy trying to work things out ourselves only to discover, as he did, "that we have power over nothing." We also learn that if we keep on breathing and living "tomorrow the sun will rise and who knows what the tide could bring." Expertly acted by Tom Hanks, Cast Away invites us to put ourselves in his shoes and imagine what we would do. Yes, the script is predictable but it goes well beyond the story on the screen. Watch it and apply it to your own islands, whatever they may be, and this movie will be one that you find yourself watching again and again.

Summary: I Love You Wilson
Review: I don't care if Wilson is a volleyball he is a great character. I believe he should've gotten an Oscar for best supporting actor, even though he is a volleyball. I loved Wilson, so when he drifted away out to sea it was very emotional for me. That scene brought tears to my eyes. I loved Wilson. He will forever live in my heart.

Summary: Good movie, but not so compelling
Review: Cast Away is a good movie, but not so compelling. The script is pretty much predicable. Of course, the main character must be rescued. The only question, will he get his girl back? I wont spoil the ending for you.

Summary: A great film...
Review: I bought the two-disc version... one of the few films I've watched more than once over the past 5 years. I just wish Tom Hank's character could have gotten back together with his wife-to-be... a sad part in the movie.

Summary: Worth the excpectation
Review: I really liked the idea of this movie and with usually liking this kind of genre i was excpecting this to be a good film and was not disappointed. It really makes you put your self in Tom Hank's characters shoes and imagine what it would be like 4 years by yourself with a volleyball for a friend and no real identity it's an essential film to view which i would recommend to anyone. Robert Zemekis could not have chosen a better actor than Tom Hanks for this roll he delivers a great performance and for alot of the film is acting in soliloquy which shows how good a performance he really gives on this film. Castaway is a story of hope in dispair and is not pretentious to this kind of desert island film, it's a good film that you should see at least twice.

Summary: Glad I Didn't Pay Money For This
Review: Chuck Noland is an obnoxious executive for Federal Express. His plane goes down and he ends up on a rock in the middle of the ocean. For no apparent reason, he survives. I found this film to be annoying in the extreme. I felt no sympathy for the character, whom I thought Hanks overplayed to the point of bathos. Even allowing for a state of shock, he was so incredibly stupid on his arrival on the island that I can't believe he lived two minutes, let alone four years. He wasted energy running around to no purpose. It was days before he looked for food or water, or started a fire. And didn't Mr. Noland ever read any adventure books as a child? Even I know that you can make a fire with flint and steel much more easily than with a fire drill. I also ask myself what he was DOING for those four years, that he didn't manage to make himself a sail with any of the materials to hand. Didn't he experiment? In addition to the main character's being just clueless, the score was repetetive and irritating, with swelling chords at the expected moments. The visuals were fraught with heavy and obvious symbolism. And every emotional moment was so overdone that I laughed when I was supposed to be so very moved. There were only two good things about this movie: It kept me out of the hundred degree heat and I didn't have to pay to see it.

Summary: A great story and a fascinating movie
Review: Tom Hanks stars as Chuck, a Fed-Ex worker who is busy as a bee and obsessed with being on time. But his world of deadlines and traveling falls apart when he suddenly gets in a plane crash. Chuck becomes stranded on an island, all alone. He uses his ingenuity to live and must struggle to survive. This island he lives on is reminiscent of the one from the book "Lord of the Flies" and the survival skills reminiscent of books like Hatchet. This movie is amazing and spectacular. It's a must-see movie, one that's motivational and humorous. It is an awesome survival story. The ending is excellent, although the movie is quite long.
