My second favorite movie Tom Hanks has acted in. Very powerful and just an all around awesome movie that teaches kids (and adults) to never give up on your loved ones, and do whatever it takes to be with them. 5 stars forever.
This movie was a great movie but its kinda creepy. The body found on the island and the airplane crash is graphic. Wait till your kids are pre-teens to see it.
Great movie that teaches children the importance of survival
My kids loved this movie. They were very interested in how he was going to survive and get off the island. Yes, there were a few brief disturbing scenes. However, they did not last long. Overwhelmingly, the movie captured my kids attention a lot more than I thought it could. They were trying to figure out what they would do and how they would handle this type of a situation.
For those who havent seen this movie yet... Get your heads out of the sand and rent it. Better yet, buy it! I know, I know, how can you like a movie that only has 2 characters for 90% of the movie? and one is a coconut (wilson). Well you will, Tom Hanks is simply Briliant in this movie! Must have seen this movie 20 times. Never gets boring! Watching Hanks learn how to make due on a deserted island is very entertaining. Cant tell you too much about this as to give away plot. ONLY ITS A MUST RENT/OWN for all viewers. Beginning of movie is a little scarry, but is entirely necessary to show how he ends up on the island. Wilson should have gotten the oscar for best supporting actor!
I liked this movie the first time I saw it, but on second viewing it just about bored me to death. A well-made film, just not all that interesting. Also, why did Tom Hanks's character have to walk all the way up the mountain just to hang himself? That kind of bothered me!
i love this movie and i loved the story even though the movie was really slow it was awesome. if i were to pick a family movie for movie night i would pick this one. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
CAST AWAY is a good movie. Tom Hanks is great, and the story is engaging. It is probably okay for most people 13+, but there are numerous intense scenes. Chuck, the main character, is stranded on an island after a severe plane crash. On the island several encounters (such as finding a decomposed body by the shore, cutting is leg on some coral, splitting his hand on wood) may be too brutal for some viewers (note: all of these scenes of injury contain blood). Language is some "s**t"s and "d**n"s.
NOTE: I'm afraid I won't be able to mention these scenes in detail, but, for detailed analysis, please go to the following site:
Most have seen this film, so no need to explain its plot. Chuck Noland is brilliantly portrayed by Tom Hanks, who embodies the role of a shipwrecked man who all but gives up what is left of his life. It is parts drama and comedy, the latter due to the famous volleyball, "Wilson." Only Hanks could carry this kind of film, that requires alot from its leading man.
Oh, my gosh, this movie made me cry! I'ts about a shipwrecked Fed Ex worker. Beautiful movie. Some scary parts, though. There's an airplane scene with lots of blood, so i would recommend parents of young children to skip that part. The main character also gets a bloody leg when he gets stabbed by some coral. Besides that, GREAT movie!!
It's an awesome movie, but common sense didn't really include everything. *SPOILER* He almost attemps suicide, with a noose over a cliff and everything. he buries a slightly disturbing looking drowned body (victim of the plane crash), and theres some blood (he gets cut by rocks and stuff) Also, he's extremly lonely, so he talks to a volleyball he found, with his own bloody handprint that kind of looks like a face. when the face gets washed off, he draws his own blood to re-paint it *SPOILER OVER*
but it's a really great movie, really suspensful! Tom Hanks was awesome in it!
