There are long movies that seem as though they were half the length because they were able to keep your attention and take you in to the films environ. "Cast Away" isn't one of them. "Cast Away" belongs to that select group of long films where you begin dreading the halfway point because there's still half left.
The film was technically sound, but disappointingly lacing in emotional context. There's very little done to make you care for the main character, though you do fell sorry that he wasn't smart enough to take the clothes from something that washes up on shore.
All in all, a dull film; not because it lacks action (it does) but because it just isn't that interesting or deep.
My suggestion, see "Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N.".
