No story, no plot, no theme, one good visual (plane crash) no ending, and not much acting, since half the movie Tom Hanks was on the island by himself.... Full review

Cast Away would have been a perfect movie, if it weren't for how uncomfortable it makes me feel when I watch it--just the idea of staying on an island for four years, his life falling apart, that kind of stuff. I... Full review

This movie did not hold my attention. The best actor in the entire movie was a ball which was found on a beach. It was one lousy movie. I guess it might have some merit to some yuppies with ultra busy... Full review

I really enjoyed this movie. Great story. Good romance, loss of love theme. Good not happily ever after ending. Good story of a man's loss and gain and loss of relationships. Like life as it is.... Full review

This movie could have been condensed into a 30 minute program, then it might have been decent. Tom Hanks is a great actor, but I don't want to spend time with him alone on an island.... Full review

You couldnt help but appreciate a number of not just creature comforts but things like a cup of coffee or a bowl of salsa.
How profound the movie is is completely in the eye of the beholder but for me its the most personal film Ive ever made because my name is on it in more than one place and the thing that we were trying to communicate by that still has to be something that can withstand the scrutiny of having this big movie made about it.

If you want to appreciate how good "Cast Away" is, just watch an old movie version of Daniel DeFoe's "Robinson Crusoe.
A less capable actor would still be on that island, for all we care.
It helps too to have interesting cinematography.

All of the various elements made the soundtracks to Cast Away consistently terrific.
Still, despite those missteps, Cast Away remained a surprisingly entertaining and winning experience.
While most of the flick looked good

You really have to sit and think about how hard it is to make a film with one actor throughout 90% of the movie entertaining for 2 hours long.
I absolutely love this film now.
I love the way Tom Hanks talks to himself....
