I Loved this movie to death!

Rating: 9/10 (6 June 2002)

Cast Away was the best movie of 2000 and deserved a lot more than what some people gave it. Tom Hanks went through so much trouble losing and gaining weight at times during the filming.
Fed-Ex supervisor Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) has just returned from a business trip in Russia just so he can spend Christmas with his girlfriend Kelly Frears (Helen Hunt). After the celebration, Chuck finds out he has to go back to Russia to close a deal. When he agrees, he boards a plane not knowing that it ends up crashing at sea with him still inside. He hops in an emergency raft and awakes the next morning to find out that he is ona deserted island. He hopes every second that he will be rescued soon, well it turns out that he spends 4 years on the island all by himself. After 4 years of nothing but bordom, Chuck decides to leave the island and head out to sea hoping he will be found. Later, he is found by a supply ship and is taken back to America. What's weird is that when he returns, everything has changed and he feels even more isolated than when he was one island.
Robert Zemeckis did such a brilliant job directing this movie and he should've gotten a best director Oscar for his work on the film. Cast Away was the best film I saw of the first year of the century.
