Strong first and second acts, worth contemplating.

Rating: 7/10 (25 June 2001)

Cast Away had strong first and second acts. Well, the middle part was most of the movie but Tom Hanks again does a fine job and it leaves you contemplating and thinking about your own chances in that situation. Of course, you'll never want to get on a plane again.
But the third act, is weak. I will not reveal what happens except to say that Zemeckis doesnt quite achieve the same impact that hangs with you during the middle part. Some bad writing and cheesy acting (angel wings girl...ugh !) but all in all, the quality is pretty good. Worth seeing.
