Not as bad as many say! Come back to your basics people!

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2004)

Too many hypercritical U.S. Americans here I guess! Not that I'm not a critical movie watcher but I wouldn't say that this movie was bad at all! The end was a bit of a let down but the rest of the movie was ok! Almost like a message to fingerpoint how good people have it in their civilizations! I would even claim some people sometimes deserve to experience what happened to Chuck Noland. Even including me sometimes. I tend to imagine myself into the role of the characters often. That makes me thankful for what I got! This movie shows how hard survival would be without any equipment but just some improvised stuff. The scene where he lost his 'friend' Watson was making me sob though it actually was only a volleyball, but this movie shows very well that and how such things can become important and closed into the heart.
