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:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - The Terminal
The movie clams to be a critically acclaimed comedy. Tom Hanks portrays a character how arrives in New York to find his homeland in war and now is unable to return home and unable to enter New York since the takeover of the government of his homeland is now not recognized by the US.

The movie had a few good parts and Hanks acting was pretty good. However it did not end the way I thought it would. There is not a lot that really holds your attention to the storyline.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Waiting can be exciting... It can be also entertaining...
The film begins with a cool look (green and blue), because Spielberg doesn't think of Immigration as a warm place to be for the few minutes it takes to clear a passenger and get him on his way... So all the cool tones are evident until Viktor starts to settle into his new home... He is going to be stuck in New York's JFK airport for an unspecified amount of time... From this moment we see Viktor stuck, trapped, unable to enter United States and that's the fun of this film...

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 ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Perseverance wins out
Imagine 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
