Cast Away

Pros: Exciting at points
Cons: Long

This looked like such a good movie in the scenes on TV. Once we actually got there to see it, it was a different story. Let me just say that my boyfriend's sister slept through all but 10 minutes of this movie.

The first scene in the...

Pros: mucho extras (4+ hours), bright and sharp picture, animated menus, Tom Hanks.
Cons: The opening is still under-lit (though brighter)

Cast Away [DVD]
I had issues with this film when I saw it on the big screen (someone bring me a flashlight please, I can barely see what's going on here), but the DVD I can recommend without reservations. It is, in fact, the DVD version that I'm...

Pros: great effects, tom hanks, and a complex plot
Cons: the ending left you wondering what would happen next.

I went to see this movie because I generally love Tom Hanks and I thought that the previews looked interesting. The movie was all that I had expected and more. The special effects in the plane crash scene are absolutely amazing and scary(I am going to...

Pros: An interesting concept, shows ways of using ANYTHING possible in order to survive.
Cons: Can be a little long and drawn out, far-fetched

I didn't even really know what this movie was about before I went to go see it. I knew a little about it, but mostly, I knew Tom Hanks was in it, and that was a good enough reason for me to go see it!
The story is one of a man who gets tossed into...

Pros: Plane crash scene was great.
Cons: The remaining 2 plus hours put me to sleep!

Tom Hanks is a FED-EX employee that gets stranded on an island. The majority of the movie tells of his adventures and attempts to survive on the island. Sound interesting -- it could have been, but it wasn't!

Here are some of the things that...

Pros: Visual effects
Cons: Predictable

Ok maybe not altogether thrown out, but this movie was not all the commercials had it hyped up to be......one commercial I distinctly remember was "you will leave the theater in awe" (something to that effect)....I was not...

Pros: great story
Cons: none

Tom Hanks plays a Federal Express employee who winds up going down on a flight that should have had him back home in a few days. For unknown reasons, the plane goes down and with it, the employee's chances of getting home. The only things he is able to...

Pros: Tom Hanks, interesting plot
Cons: none

Cast Away is an excellent movie about the strength of the human spirit. I found the movie to be captivating. I sat on the edge of my seat just hoping for Hanks' character to survive. I believe that no other actor would have been able to carry...

Pros: great, excellent acting
Cons: could be perceived as slow moving

As expected, Tom Hanks pulls this movie off all by himself. With the exception of the very beginning and end of the movie, don't expect to see anyone else besides Tom. Playing a FedEx head-honcho employee Chuck, Tom Hanks embodies every aspect of a...

Pros: Tom Hanks
Cons: None

Chuck's manic existence abruptly ends when, after his plane crash, he becomes isolated on a remote island casted away into the most desolate environment imaginable. without the conveniences of everyday life, he first must meet the basic needs of...

Cons: none watch for yourself

Although Castaway has been out for quite a while now, it's one of the films I missed and had always wanted to catch up on, having read loads of reviews and seen the adverts for it when it first came out. I finally got the chance to see it. Boy did it ...

Pros: Very Realistic
Cons: Poor Wilson!

Last Saturday my husband had a day off, so he took me and the kids to the theater to see the new movie, Castaway.

I really enjoyed Tom Hanks in the lead role. In the course of the movie, he goes from a high strung Fed Ex supervisor, to a...

Pros: everything
Cons: a few scenes that might make you wince

 Chuck Noland is a FedEx executive whose life is ruled by the clock. However, when his plan ...

Pros: Devoted actors, heart moving scenes, triumph of will
Cons: needed some more happy moments

Cast Away, starring Tom Hanks, is a story that follows the struggle of one man, who’s whole life changes when he is stranded on a desert island. The movie starts just before Christmas time, giving the viewer an inside view of the daily life of Tom ...

Pros: Great "on the edge of your seat" airplane crash scenes
Cons: Not realistic enough, left you hanging at the end.

I recently went to see the movie "Cast Away" with Tom Hanks and Helen Hunt. I actually came away from the movie disappointed, and thinking about how I even could have made the movie more interesting.

The movie centers around Tom Hanks'...
