Magnificent Robinson Crusoe adventure vehicle that is unfortunately sandwiched between a vapid love story. I realize that the movie would probably not work without the home elements, but they are just way too long and way too ordinary. The setup wastes over 30 minutes of film, that I really would rather have been spent on further exploring the difficulties of survival on the island. That part, the best part flies by way too quickly. But what can you do? It's still very watchable, and the good part is it's the perfect pay channel movie. Why? Odds are you'll be flipping through the channels and happen upon this en medias res, which means you'll have skipped at least part of the boring beginning and if your lucky jump right in during the incredible plane crash sequence. Trust me, this happens a lot. Also, you can just turn it off as soon as he makes his final attempt to leave the island. See? How many flicks are that custom made for the home viewer?
