Horrible movie - You have been warned! - Minor item spoilers.

Rating: 2/10 (27 May 2007)

Then again if you haven't seen it yet, don't bother. I mean its great if all you need it for is meditation or if you're an insomniac.. but this is a really bad movie.
"Although I won't reveal any real details about the meaning because I think that you should try and understand it yourself. The movie was terrific and simply breathless the whole time. I felt awestruck about how the life of one man could be so changed after an experience that Hanks went through." This would suggest you are in love with Hanks, and how was the movie simply breathless? Simple indeed. Breathless, as in, "I can't believe I watched this movie instead of ...". I feel people need to be forewarned and yet some people found a hidden meaning that they themselves don't even understand.
I kept asking: "When the hell are you going to open those FedEX packages? And why wouldn't you leave with the tide going out instead of in?! " I'd love to go through an experience like this, get paid a hefty salary, fart around an island for hours, not take the dead guys belt, and treat it like a vacation away from the world.
This movie was simply stupid, it was even so really more stupid the second time around watching it on video; 7 years later. Yes, I went opening night to see this much hyped movie only to fall asleep about an hour in, and wake up to the ravings of a lunatic when he hurt his hand. I guess I'd read the plot of the movie incorrectly or perhaps it really is a superb meditation video.
