Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Carlos H Cast Away is, without a doubt, one of the most tense, emotional and sad films I have ever seen. When I was little, I remember this film always being shown and talked about on television, but I only got to watch it in 2025: and I don't regret taking so long. After all, my taste in cinema as a child was limited to Disney and superhero films, and Cast Away is not the kind of film for this age group. The story touches on deep themes, such as perseverance, loneliness, loss and sacrifice. The direction is excellent, and the film's photography is a character in itself: I simply loved the way the director, Robert Zemeckis, filmed the island here. It is, at the same time, a lost paradise and, little by little, the destruction of the character played by Tom Hanks, whose talent needs no introduction. What is impressive is not only Hanks' talent and performance, but also the extreme physical change that he certainly had to undergo to accompany the degradation of his character: at the beginning of the film, his character, Chuck, is a strong, robust man, with a leadership position at FedEx, something that is very well presented in the opening scene of the film, in which we follow the character in Russia (once again, Robert Zemeckis captures the best angles of the city to compose the scenes). The scene of the plane hitting the water, followed by Chuck drifting, adrift, in the middle of the vastness of the sea, with its violent waves, is frightening. In fact, this film has frightening scenes for those who, like me, are simultaneously curious and afraid of the sea. Thalassophobia, that's what they call it, right? The relationship between Chuck and Wilson, a soccer ball that was on the plane that crashed and whose package drifted to the sands of the island, is sad and beautiful. And what can we say about that ending? I really felt bad about Chuck's ending, but at the same time, I can't blame Kelly for moving on. After all, it was four long years since Chuck was presumed dead. The reunion between the two is deeply sad, and Chuck's final scene had a special meaning for me: after wandering the sea for so long and being on the brink of death, the roads that surrounded him symbolized the many solid paths he could follow. Without a doubt, Cast Away is a masterpiece that deserves to be seen and applauded. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Alejandro E If the main idea was to make a modern version of Robinson Crusoe, the effort turned out quite well. Although there is not much action in the plot, one as a viewer cannot be captivated by the main character and his efforts to survive in the face of nature. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Paul S This movie was so much fun to watch, and despite its simple story, it did an amazing job of keeping you hooked from beginning to end. I definitely recommend it for adventure fans! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
