The Terminal review

Posted : 1 year, 9 months ago on 14 March 2008 01:29 (A review of The Terminal)

Expected more from this film to be honest. With a dream team of Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg I was expecting something epic. The story in itself is heartwarming, but not always entertaining and I found my attention waning throughout the showing. I didn't think I'd ever bother watching it again, but I caught it once on TV and it dragged my rating of the film up a notch. It seemed to improve the second time I saw it.

Tom Hanks lands in the US but is refused access to US soil because his country underwent a coup while he was in the air. Somehow this nullifies the status of his passport but thanks to the absurdity of clauses and laws regarding airports, he's allowed to stay at the airport indeffinitely. He eventually ends up endearing himself to most of the airport staff and embark on a lovestory with C.Z Jones. It's generally one for a feel-good fan, but not one for the action-obsessed fanatic.
