The Terminal
Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks) is a man without a country; his plane took off just as a coup d'etat exploded in his homeland, leaving it in shambles. Now, he's landed at Kennedy Airport, where he meets a beautiful stranger, Amelia (Catherine Zeta-Jones). But with a passport that nobody recognizes, Viktor is quarantined in the transit lounge until authorities can figure out what to do with him. Is he doomed to live in "no man's land" forever?

Disney style dumbed down politics - gingericecream
I enjoyed the feel good style of the film. It reminded me of the disney films I watched as a child where little people got togeather to fight some bad person and everything worked out okay. But I'm older now and I know that if this really is based on actual events then there was a lot that didn't work out well for a lot of people. But if you want an escape from reality this is an enjoyable film.Great premise, poor delivery - MattyTyJoe
I was intrigued by the idea of this movie but never got the opportunity to see it until now. Sadly, I was not missing out on much. There are some interesting parts but the over the top evil security manager and incredibly cheesy and unrealistic scenes ruin this film for me. A disappointing movie.VERY GOOD!! - merrickpunk
I thought this movie was exceptionally good! Tom Hanks and the supporting Cast really added a depth to this movie, and I was surprised it was as good as it was. The supporting cast were exceptional and although the movie was a simple storyline, the characters really added so much feeling to the current situation. It was real people living in an awkward job. Like living in a mall, the Terminal shows you what it would be like to live in this place, without adding any too unusal aspects. It shows how rude, and mean people can be, as many people treat others without respect, without seeing the underlining issue that they might be dealing with. I loved it. It was funny yet romantic and sad and joyful!! I true ride of feelings! Amazing!
