Great Movie

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2001)

I went to see Cast Away after an awful day and work and it kept me focused on the movie plot for the entire time. The whole crash scene was lengthy but seemed authentic and I was already rooting for Hanks to get away from the plane engine and into the raft safely.
Making fire is at least as hard as it looked on film and I teach firebuilding to Girl Scout leaders!
The ending was also good--not just the woman left at home waiting and doing nothing until his return.
Tom Hanks's acting was great and this is what "Survivor" should really be like.
