from my 100 Popular Movies Marathon, part 43 of 100



Cast Away, 2000. The only survivor of a plane crash lives on an island.

Directed by Robert Zemeckis. Written by William Broyles Jr. Starring Tom Hanks, with Helen Hunt.

Concept: B
Story: "Man against nature? But why can't it also be a love story?" D
Characters: C
Dialog: B
Pacing: B
Cinematography: Zemeckis takes every chance he gets to distance you from the character. Why would you do that? C
Special effects/design: B
Acting: A
Music: C
Enjoyment: One of the most predictable movies I've ever seen. I really expected to like it. I also expected it to be essentially a Tom Hanks one man show, which it is not. It has its moments to make it worth seeing, but... meh. C

GPA: 2.5/4
