Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 05/01/2007 Starring: Tom Hanks Stanley Tucci Run time: 128 minutes Rating: Pg13 Amazon.com: Like an airport running at peak efficiency, The Terminal glides on the consummate skills of its director and star. Having refined their collaborative chemistry on Saving Private Ryan and Catch Me if You Can, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks mesh like the precision gears of a Rolex, turning a delicate, not-very-plausible scenario into a lovely modern-age fable (partly based on fact) that's both technically impressive and subtly moving. It's Spielberg in Capra mode, spinning the featherweight tale of Victor Navorski (Hanks, giving a finely tuned performance), an Eastern European who arrives at New York's Kennedy Airport just as his (fictional) homeland has fallen to a coup, forcing him, with no valid citizenship, to take indefinite residence in the airport's expansive International Arrivals Terminal (an astonishing full-scale set that inspires Spielberg's most elegant visual strategies). Spielberg said he made this film in part to alleviate the anguish of wartime America, and his master's touch works wonders on the occasionally mushy material; even Stanley Tucci's officious terminal director and Catherine Zeta-Jones's mixed-up flight attendant come off (respectively) as forgivable and effortlessly charming. With this much talent involved, The Terminal transcends its minor shortcomings to achieve a rare degree of cinematic grace. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A Charming ComedyShadow Watcher Nobody Drowns in Mineral Lake THE TERMINAL is the most charming film that director Steven Spielberg has made in years. Inspired by an actual incident, the touching comedy stars Tom Hanks as Viktor Navorski, a non-English-speaking citizen from a small, imaginary Eastern European country who arrives at New York's JFK airport only to learn that a revolution has taken place in his nation. Thus, because of bureaucratic glitches, he cannot legally enter the ... Read More Rating:  - Perseverance wins outImagine yourself in an airport of a country where you don't speak the language. While you were in the air, getting to that country, your country experienced a coup, and upon landing you find you are a person without a country. What now? This is the premise of "The Terminal", a gentle little movie tailor-made to exercise Tom Hanks' considerable acting chops. Playing the role of Viktor Navorski, a simple man from Krakosia, a small country somewhere in Europe, he exhibits more style and believability ... Read More Rating:  - No ExitIt's easy to figure out how movies like this get made, the "high-concept" can be expressed in one sentence. Remember the opening sequence of The Player where film producer Tim Robbins listened to a series of preposterous one-sentence ideas for movies? Here goes. "Man entering JFK from failed state must take up residence in waiting area, existing in a state of limbo - hyjinx ensue." The idea is just so breathtakingly stupid and far-fetched that it's a wonder Spielberg gave it a second thought. However, if nothing ... Read More Rating: - Great Acting In A Silly MovieI loved this movie for about the first 30 minutes. After that it seemed like the story didn't know where to go. While I sort of enjoyed this movie I think it had mostly to do with Tom Hanks. He creates a character that is easy to like and he does an amazing job playing a person who doesn't speak english and is trapped in an airport. What I didn't like about this movie was that it was a bit silly. The whole point of why he came to the U.S. to begin with was supposed to be touching, but I just thought it was a bit silly ... Read More Rating:  - Huge Mistake for HanksNormally, I think Tom Hanks makes some great films....but this was a disaster of a role. The movie was one of the worst I've seen in a while.
