Excellent Movie

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2005)

This is a movie that worth watchin' from the beginning till end. Tom Hanks act is just great.
One could say that Steven Spielberg is a historian, documenting human emotion on film for the past 20 years. With each new film, Spielberg addresses a different issue but never fails to incorporate the basic emotions that pulse through everyone's body.
His movies are remarkably touching, realistic and passionate about human nature. In this film, The Terminal, Spielberg reveals a little bit of his own mind as he introduces the audience to Viktor Navorski.
Hanks is brilliant as the Russian immigrant, bringing both subtlety and vigor to the character with his dead-on accent and genuine attention to Navorski's quiet lifestyle. Jones and Tucci add a desirable flavor of personality to the cast, but it's Hanks and his team of airport misfits (Chi McBride, Diego Luna and Kumar Pallana) who control the story's momentum. One of Spielberg's finest films to date and a definite Oscar contender, "The Terminal" is the perfect picnic away from a summer of big explosions and gaudy sequels.
