This film is simply wonderful...

Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2011)

Robert Zemeckis's film, Castaway is one of my all time favorite films and he can probably thank Tom Hanks for it as well.
The story follows a man by the name of Chuck Noland who works for FedEX and upon his delivery around Christmas he gets wrapped up in an unfortunate plane crash. Some how, he survives this crash which is probably the only strange thing I found about this film. Anyway, Chuck is washed ashore on a strange island kilometers from any other continent and is left to fend for himself. Personally, this is my favorite part of the film as well, as we watch Chuck experiment and use as many resources he can to survive the tormenting, 4 years he has been on the island for. The only thing that's keeping him from dying is his lovely fiancée and a wonderful, volleyball friend known as Wilson. I don't like to make fun of Wilson or Tom Hanks's role to speak to just a volleyball because it kept him from going insane. So, I really loved Wilson hehe.
Anyway, he finally gets off this island, returns to main land and sad stuff starts happening.
You can't hate this movie...and if you do then you're missing out on a lot or you just don't understand the film on an emotional level.
9/10
