Cast Away 1/3 of this film!

Rating: 4/10 (3 January 2001)

Don't get me wrong. I love Tom Hanks. I love Robert Zemekis. The production values are outstanding - however, you could take the ice skate axe "Chuck Noland" put together to the celluloid on this film, for my money.
The overlong island sequences had me counting the ceiling tiles in the theater. There was little character development here, just a means to show how clever Noland was in using the elements from the Fed-Ex packages.
Helen Hunt's natural acting style, even though her performance was brief, made this film worth watching.
