William B Great movie. Definitely recommended to anyone. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Drew B Basically Cast Away in an airport. To me it shows you can be just as alone in a crowd as you are by yourself. But it also speaks to strangers connecting across cultural barriers. I did enjoy it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Samuel W Tom Hanks has always played interesting characters with unique situations going on around them, this movie continues that trend with a story based on a real event. Basically, his country is under war and the government had been overthrown, making it where Tom Hanks’ foreign man, who had never really spoken English, gets stuck in an international American airport in New York City. The tale tells how he survived and lived for over a year in the airport and showed his unrelenting optimistic attitude, his love for people, and his creative perseverance to live the best life he can while being a prisoner of this airport. The movie is very heartwarming, peculiar, and unique in the way it is done, making for a fun experience with some humor and a love for the character and the real man. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Nim T Interesting to see Tom Hanks being a Krakozhian and trying to speak in a different language than English. The concept is something I like because the title while simple conveys a clear message. Tom Hanks's character stopped at a terminal in the airport and throughout the months that he was stuck at the terminal, he showed how a person can adapt no matter the difficulties one might endure. It was motivating to see him not knowing any English to being able to communicate as much as possible to other characters. While I do agree with some people that there wasn't as much chemistry with Catherine Zeta-Jones in terms of relationship, but the story nevertheless showed her being a motivation for Tom Hanks to keep fighting to accomplish his wish. Despite not being together, it wouldn't mean that there was no love and respect between each other. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/24 Full Review Cudalbu R A genial movie that started a series of movements and experiments in similar situations. Can't imagine if ever a reboot would be able to ruin this amazing story! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/23/24 Full Review Cork B Terminal is well made, has a pretty good cast, and has some funny scenes. I won't argue with Spielberg's ability to make a movie. That all said, this thing is stupid. I am sure even back in 2004, immigration officers had better things to do with their time. Twenty years later this is a parody of a joke that Immigration actually tries to stop someone from entering ... of all places... NYC. I found watching Hanks mumble his way through this to be.. not painful ... he is a decent actor... but maybe mundane. Really? You couldn't figure out a better way to get a signature? And Viktor's elevation to folk hero was just about as dumb. The actual social commentary was just buried under all the dreck. Sigh. Maybe they do things different in Krakovia.
