Forrest Gump Returns!

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2008)

I love this movie. It's about the closest thing I could see as a sequel to "Forrest Gump" without actually seeing tom Hanks play Forrest Gump again. He plays Viktor Navorski, a Bulgarian national from a fiction republic who lose his country in the air and cannot return home, but without a new reclassification, he can't enter the United States so he has to live in the world of the airport terminal. This sequence is highlighted by very convincing CNN scenes of his war-torn homeland. He gets by living by his wits and the kindness of other people, encountering and touching on the lives of people passing through, much like Forrest, and they touch his life in return. The mystery of the can he carries around makes for a good and worthy sub-plot. George Takei appears in the movie where one character is a Trekkie. Catherine Zeta Jones has a wonderful role as a potential love interest that surprises by not having her end up with Tom, a cliché ending that otherwise would have been too predictable.
