''Ever feel like you're living in an airport?''

An eastern immigrant finds himself stranded in JFK airport, and must take up temporary residence there.

Tom Hanks: Viktor Navorski

One of the wonders of Steven Spielberg is that he can take a story, in this case written by Andrew Niccol and Sacha Gervasi. Combined with a wittily conceived Screenplay from... read more

“Not a terrible film by all means, but one where it is easy to see why it would polarise viewers (as evident in the user reviews here) and why there are those considering it a lesser Steven Spielberg film.

'The Terminal' is not Spielberg's worst film, to me 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park', '1941' and 'War of the Worlds' (which had a very good first half and completely fell apart halfway through and never recovered) are worse. Ranking it in his filmography, it is nowhere near close to being one of his best and while not rock-bottom to me it is lesser Spielberg.

Starting with 'The Terminal's' merits, the production values are top-notch and Spielberg regular Janusz Kaminski's cinematography is once again beautiful and a major plus. While not some of his best work, John Will” read more
