Okay, but didn't do as much with story as they should've done

Rating: Null/10 (21 January 2001)

I really wanted to see this film with all the hype. I am a great fan of Hanks, and tremendously enjoyed Forest Gump and Apollo 13. However a word of warning firstly! Don't go to see this movie if you are flying any time soon. That part of the film was well done, i.e. the crash scene.
I was expecting great things of this movie, as it had an all star cast of Hanks and Helen Hunt. It was an average movie and rather disappointing as they could have made a lot more of the plot possibilities. There were alot of open ends, the movie was slow. They don't seem to have made the most of potential plot possibilities. The script seemed rather weak, a pity as Hanks' acting was very good.
You come away from the movie feeling a wee bit cheated. My feeling is okay, go and see it, but its not something I would rave about
