As good as I had remembered
This is just one of those good movies you can watch over and over. My kids had never seen it and they fell in love! My son was particularly attached to "Wilson"! Its a great story.

The kind of movie you can watch over and over again
Cast Away is such an intricate movie, and Hanks acting is so superb and believably as his character goes through transformations that it's perfect for DVD. I've watched it at least a dozen times and it makes me feel great every time. The wide screen is also great.

Hanks holds your attention for over 2 hours
What an acting performance by Tom Hanks! How can an actor hold the viewers' attention for 2 hours without any other dialogue or speaking characters? Incredible. Must watch.
