Perfect movie ruined by Weak Ending (Spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (28 December 2000)

Just got back from seeing CastAway. It started out slow and dull, not really going anywhere. Then Hanks gets stuck on the island, and the movie comes to life. Every single second spent on the island (probably 2/3 of the movie) is great. I think Wilson should be up for an academy award. Seriously though, heres why.
Once Hanks gets off the island, the movie starts to go downhill. I was hoping for a TRANSITION of how Hanks returns to society. But there is absoulutley ZERO transition.
By the end of the movie, the person who has gone through the most change is Wilson. Born in a box, he lived his life and tragically was lost at sea, buy the point I am trying to make is that he CHANGED the most out of anyone, and he was a *&@#($#!! vollyball.
I am still giving this movie a 7/10, because the middle was so INCREDIBLE. I'll end it on a good note by saying this. The shot where Tom is looking over the edge of the summit is one of the most beautiful shots I have seen in a hollywood film.
