Movie Reviews of Cast Away [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Cast Away
Summary: 4 Stars
It's surprising just how good `Cast Away' is. I mean, who would've thought a film about a man alone on a desert island would be so riveting? Maybe that is testament to Tom Hanks who turns out a star performance here. The location and scenery are also amazing and the direction shows it off to excellent effect. This film follows Chuck Noland (Hanks) as he survives a plane crash and has to live on a deserted island in the middle of the pacific ocean for four years. You live his loneliness and trials as he struggles to survive and learn the skill necessary to get by. In fact the scene when he finally learns to make fire, and his reaction to it, never fails to raise a smile and you truly feel his jubilation. The middle section of the film on the island is very quiet, as previously noted in other reviews, but it doesn't drag and only heightens the isolation Noland must feel. Hanks keeps you engrossed by his every nuance and movement he makes. It's only when Noland begins to unwrap FedEx parcels (from the plane crash) and finds a Wilson Volley ball, that he paints a face onto, does he start talking again. It actually become quite touching to see him interact with an inanimate object and must be one of the most unique on-screen relationships ever! The ending is a little `Hollywood' and cheesy, but not excessively so and I'll admit to a lump in my throat briefly towards the end. This is a simple premise, excellently executed and although I've seen this film many times it never gets boring or any less gripping. Well worth a watch.

Movie Review: A sad tale
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked the movie, good performances all around. While you can be excited for Hank's survival skills, you also know the inevitable. It is a very long movie, full of emotion, and for suckers like me that have to have a happy ending, this may be the one to skip.
Hanks is on a fedex job on Christmas Eve that he really doesnt want to do, but he does it as he is a workaholic. The plane crashes, and Hanks survives with the many packages in transit.
It was a good movie, worth seeing, but I wouldnt own it as I know seeing it once I wouldnt be in the mood to see it again.

Movie Review: "TOM HANKS HAS THE RANGE"
Summary: 4 Stars
Tom Hanks in this movie is the best when he is by himself on the island. His acting range is great for this role. I compare it to Saving Private Ryan, Philadelphia and Forrest Gump. Picture/Audio quality are just above average on blu-ray. Worth a buy because of him.Movie Review: Blu-ray worthy
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie is well known so I will just state I was very happy with the picture/sound on this disc as others have stated. Was nice to revisit the movie, not sure how many times one would want to replay it but it has some great demo scenes!
