wonderful movie, but very sad

Rating: Null/10 (20 June 2003)

this is a pretty original movie. what would you do if you were stuck on an un-known south pacific island by yourself? i liked the quiet nature of it. i mean tom hanks is on his own the majority of the movie. that must be really lonely to be without human interaction for 4 years. his loneliness gets the best of him and he forms a "friendship" with with a volleyball he names wilson....get it? hehe. a lot of the elements were pretty depressing. tom hanks does add his flavorful humor though. very superior acting (its pretty much a one-man show). helen hunt did really good. its not exactly a feel good movie, but it is quite enjoyable. if you have a quiet nature and enjoy more serious dramatic movies, this is for you. i loved it. 10 stars out of 10.
