The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

THE TERMINAL is an example of Steven Spielberg at his most average as a filmmaker. This is a massive-budgeted production that features Tom Hanks delivering a typically pitch perfect performance as a likeable immigrant stuck at an airport, of all places, and yet compared to Spielberg's best work this is insignificant and ultimately hollow. There are a lot of light laughs en route to the climax, and some well judged supporting roles, but THE TERMINAL also has some serious flaws. A wooden Catherine Zeta-Jones as the shoehorned-in love interest is one of them, and Stanley Tucci's antagonist couldn't get any more bland if he tried. My advice is to watch this if you're a Hanks fan, but otherwise skip it.

Any one who has spent some time on airport can find a number of relatable characters and incidents in the movie. One of the finest performance by Tom Hanks. He is the real star of the film. My rating 9 is solely based on how Hanks has managed to single-handedly engaged the audience throughout. Some other side characters have put in a commendable performance. There are moments in the movie that makes it a memorable watch. The romantic element in the movie spoils the fun, for me. Unrealistic ending makes it look like a Bollywood masala movie (which has a lot of emotion without making much (or any) sense). Despite of that I consider it to be a must-watch. It can still do a lot of business in flights and airports as the emotional state of the audience would be much more active. Hanks, alone, deserve a 10 star rating.

How did the screenwriter of the film think about creating a story within the airport terminal? Especially, the international airport is a place where people feel a little bit more excited about going abroad or coming from abroad.There are many shops in the duty-free area of the airport terminal and many people work from early morning until late. There are also police, customs, airlines, banks and so on. That is to say, it feels like a big city. There are also huge commercial aircraft that are worth seeing.In addition, people of small countries who can not speak English, a little love story, New York jazz bar and so on.It is a film that makes the viewer smile consistently. This film is a perfect match for a family with a comfortable winter evening.PS: Thanks for reading. Please understand that my English is not good. ^
