Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie's plot.
First off, let me start by saying that I am not a tom Hanks fan. Sure, I loved Forrest Gump, the Green Mile was good... I think it is just because I am a Republican. Oh well, I loved this movie and even if you have Tom Hanks, I think you'll get your moneys worth here.
Also, let me point out that I am a penny pincher and simply hating going to the movies, not only because of the costs, but I hate big crowds, especially crowds of teen agers.
Now, the movie! I remember seeing Twister for the first time, the sound and the effects were so real that I actually caught myself dodging things on the screen, and feeling the intensity of the situations. This movie was no different. I'll try not to give away the plot. The scene where the FedEx plane goes down was outstanding! You'll probably wet your pants from being so scared.
But what really made this movie was the stranded scenes (which was 75% of the movie) there is very little, if any music! The serenity of the island really sets the mood. You feel stranded right along with the character.
This film is perfect for anyone at any age. That's also what I love about this movie...Little or no cursing, no sexual scenes, and no violence (However, you'll get a little sick when he gets cut and during the "tooth ache" scene, thats all I'll tell ya)
Probably the only thing I almost hated about the movie was the almost-adultry scene, but it didn't happen, I think that part kept me on the edge of my seat the most!
I'm not a movie critic, but I hope this helps out people that are just like me; it takes a really good movie for me to enjoy it.
