143 Minutes of absolute boredom

Rating: 3/10 (12 November 2011)

To be honest with you I really do not know what the point of this movie was or what it was trying to do. It was basically two hours of Tom Hanks moping around on a desert island, worshiping a beachball with a bloody hand on it (with a face) and then finally deciding to make a bolt and getting rescued by a ship. When he gets back home he discovers that home no longer exists.
Hanks plays an executive for a parcel delivery company and while he is on a 'mission' his plane crashes and he manages to pull himself up onto a desert island where he spends the next four years of his life before he decides to escape. Is it a modern version of Robinson Crusoe? I don't think so because he is the only inhabitant of this island.
During his time on the island he is forced to learn to look after himself all the while waiting to be rescued and dreaming on returning home. When he does return home, he discovers it is not home. His wife has remarried thinking that he is dead, so in the end he is left with nothing but his job (he does return a hero though).
Personally, I would not recommend anybody waste their time with this movie, and I will honour that statement by no longer writing anything about this film.
