A brief commentary on my personal opinion of the movie The Terminal.

Rating: 8/10 (25 October 2004)

Being a person who has traveled a lot, I thought that 'The Terminal' would be the ideal movie for me to watch, as I myself have been stuck in an airport for lengthy amounts of time. The Terminal was also on the list of movies that I was watching during my 'Best Movies of All time' quest, and so I was excited to see it, hoping my expectations of this movie would not be crushed by watching it. Not only was I amazed by the brilliant plot, but I was hugely impressed with the cinematography, although it did chop and change from location to location within the airport with no real smooth transition between them, it was still quite spectacular. I have heard a lot of people call this 'A mediocre movie' with was 'Nothing Amazing'. With these people I would beg to differ. Spielberg has managed to direct this compelling drama and gel it perfectly with a love story. I have to say I was a little more than impressed by this movie. The concept is mundane, the idea is brilliant.
