My favorite film of all-time!

Rating: 10/10 (24 July 2016)

This is definitely one of my favorite films, if not my favorite film of all time! It is really, really underrated! There are so many great things about this movie that I can't possibly explain everything, but I will explain some things on why I love it so much. First, lets start with the acting. Tom Hanks delivers an outstanding performance! Never once is he monotonous or boring. You actually feel his emotion and it is just him on the island. The acting just has so much raw power, it is insane. Also, you better like Tom Hanks, since it is just him on the island, or you probably won't like this movie (but then again, who doesn't like Tom Hanks?) Now, I want to talk about the plot. I'm not going to reveal every detail or anything, but I just want to say that I like survival stories, and this is no exception. There is also a romance aspect to this film that I love, and also like how it isn't just straight-up romance, but it is subtle almost. Also, Robert Zemeckis directed this really well. Also, how is there so much emotion in this film? I felt sad and also started developing feelings for the characters, like Wilson and Chuck. Finally, I want to talk about the amazing cinematography. The amazing camera shots that they use are some of the best that I have ever seen. Also, the island allows for some good cinematography. Beautiful blues, lush greens, bright yellows (from the raft) makes for one of the best color palettes I have seen to date. Really, the cinematography is just breathtaking. Just such great scenery makes this a movie to see on Blu-Ray. No color grading present, just beautiful natural colors. Also, I mentioned camera shots. They really are some of the greatest shots that I have seen. Basically, just watch this movie. You will NOT be disappointed. One of the greatest films of all time and so incredibly underrated.
