Zemeckis is more interested here in getting us thinking (and feeling) than in telling us what to think.

If you feel touched emotionally by this movie, you are truly human. The movie ends with Tom Hanks standing at a dusty crossroad surround by dry open fields and there is nobody around. It can be interpreted by many as an empty feeling inside such as how they feel when a relationship ends or somebody close has died. Where do we go from here now that something has ended? When he met his wife again after a long absence, it was easy to see that something was missing. After all the hugs and kisses, there was something missing that once bonded them together. Too bad it has to be called acting but it was perfect acting throughout the whole movie.
Report
A 25-minute third act is far too short to suffice, especially when the previous two hours are as astute and technically impressive as they are here.
Here is a strong and simple story surrounded by needless complications, and flawed by a last act that first disappoints us and then ends on a note of forced whimsy.
The middle 90 minutes, which put Hanks alone on an island without voice-over narration or even a musical background, is as risky as anything Hollywood did this year.
The 80 minutes it spends on the atoll alone with Hanks make for engrossing storytelling. The film is less sure-footed back in civilization.
It will bring joy in a way certainly not intended, as one of the most gloriously and unwittingly silly films ever devised by a major American filmmaker.

Un film bien réalisé et relativement réaliste (enfin, relativement, tout est relatif en effet) avec un Tom Hanks des plus convaincants… alors pourquoi ces 20 à 30 mn de trop (au bas mot) qui liquéfient le film ? en outre, tout ce qui traite de son ‘retour’ est complètement raté : ça sonne creux comme cette petite musique pathétique violoneuse. Dommage, le reste était plutôt bien fichu mais quel gros gâchis tout de même. Et puis toute cette retape pour ce putain de Fedex tout du long est consternante : le gars qui va livrer son paquet Fedex 4 ans après… mais bien sûr ! et la marmotte, qu’est-ce qu’elle a branlé alors ?!
