Superb

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2016)

I can't say much about this stunning movie that others haven't said before me but I did want to remark on a few memorable things. The deeply portrayed emotion between Helen Hunt and Tom Hanks - utterly sensitive and spellbinding. The plane crash scene, probably the greatest cinematography and special effects of such a scene in all of cinema. Makes the shaky-cam effects of TV's Mayday look like rank amateurs. Also Alan Silvestri's magical, haunting score. Without that score it would have been a loss for the movie equally as great as when Chuck loses his one true love. Sometimes you are so blown away by a movie that you can't even get up to leave the theatre and just here the composer treats us to his masterful work. It washes over us like the waves on the island. Beautiful.
