A different Spielberg Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (4 July 2005)

From the moment you see the first couple of shots of the terminal that was built for this film, the way the lighting is so natural for an everyday place some of us would visit (if we are lucky enough) once a year, from the costumes on the actors and the hundreds of extras to the performance of the talented Tom Hanks.... you are drawn into a new Steven Spielberg. Not a futuristic haven for Action and Sci-fi junkies or a prehistoric nightmare of animatronics but something new that this viewer was not expecting. Spielberg's talent has taken a new path in creating a mock real world that at no point did i think was unreal. The pin point perfect Cinematography as well as the always superb editing by Michael Kahn (Must be attached to Spielberg's hip at this stage with the amount of films they have worked on) topped off this movie for me and gave me an evenings entertainment as well as a fresh respect for the 'berg'ster. If you haven't seen this movie I recommend a night in either with your significant other or even on your own and watch Tom Hanks introduce you to a waiting Victor.
