Cast Away

Starring: Tom Hanks, Helen Hunt, and Wilson the Volleyball

Directed by: Robert Zemeckis

Synopsis: A Fed Ex employee's plane crashes and he's the lone survivor where he is stranded alone on an island for 4 years. He comes home to find an entirely different world.

My thoughts: I was very skeptical that a movie where there's only one character for 2 hours could hold my interest, but Hanks (in an Oscar-nominated performance) pulled it off quite nicely. However, the movie suffers from poor transitioning and an anti-climatic ending.

Score: 7 out of 10
