Snider 4/4 "A film brimming over-the-top with realism and features one of our most treasured (and likable) actors, Tom Hanks, in an incredible, virtually silent performance as a survivor."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C+ "A heavy-handed Hymn to the Human Spirit, and a pretty joyless one at that."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 5/5 "A gung ho FedEx systems engineer stranded on a deserted island cultivates the spiritual practice of hope and learns to respect the mysteries of the present moment."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat C "Hanks and Zemeckis begin with an intriguing premise...and, by the film's end, smother that premise under a tidal wave of sentimentality and schmaltz."   Mixed Reviews   Gabriel Shanks 4/4 "Has all the hallmarks of a great motion picture: well-developed characters, solid drama, non-traditional adventure, and an intelligent script."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "it is testament to the acting prowess and undeniable humanity exuded by Tom Hanks that he can carry long stretches of the film literally by himself"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 7/10 "I wish that all of the film's 144 minutes were spent alone with Hanks."   DVDTown.com   James Plath 9/10 "An awesome movie."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "Completely engaging."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 8/10 "Can a movie that spends about 80% of its runtime alone on an island with one man actually not be boring? You bet."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 7/10 "...a good title, good acting, good effects, plentiful bonus features, three mediocre stories, and a volleyball. And they say 2000 was a bad year for films! "   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "Filled with memorable images, true adventure and a Oscar-worthy performance by Tom Hanks, "Cast Away" is a modern day classic."   Light Views   John Larsen "Zemeckis pulls off his best directorial effort yet, and that's quite a statement considering the films he already has under his belt."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 4/4 "Es un filme sobrecogedor y motivante que dejará una honda huella emocional en quien tenga la oportunidad de experimentarlo"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 4/5 "I felt like the real ending had been Cast Away."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 3.5/4 "Cast Away remains daring and quite unique even though it could have been even more, and Hanks' performance is really something to be seen."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 9/10 "An unforgettable film."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/5 "Two hours of good movie were only moderately spoiled by thirty minutes of Nora Ephron-style dreck."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3/5 "Há um filme belíssimo escondido em Náufrago. Infelizmente, ele está enterrado no meio de duas extremidades que deixam muito a desejar."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3/5 "Zemeckis' tranquil control never wavers."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 8/10 "One thing is bound to come out of Cast Away -- a deserved best actor nomination for Hanks."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3/5 "Thank God there's no Friday."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg "Cast Away is a sad movie of the sort that Hollywood almost never makes: not three-hankie sad, not 'go have yourself a good cry' sad, but the kind of thing that, if you let it in deep enough, can send a shudder to your very soul."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek A- "Chuck has flashes of ingenuity that filled me with the thrill of discovery and invention, and stretches of failure that I felt just as acutely."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 3/4 "All problems aside, "Cast Away" delivers some amazing moments of cinematic beauty."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell 3.5/4 Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N.
