Advantages: Food for thought

Disadvantages: Fed Ex 'pun'?

Any film that makes you appreciate what true values are all about, and not take things for granted has to succeed if only because it deserves to! As it happens this is a sort of modern ‘Robinson Crusoe’ with Tom Hanks playing a guy on a desert island having survived a pretty horrific plane crash. Sadly the movie centres on Fed Ex express parcel services almost as a way of life. I wasn’t sure if a pun was intended here or if Fed Ex were involved in some kind of production promotion idea.
Making you realise slowly the necessary requirements of survival, I think the movie could have gone even further to portray the conflicts of nature and disturbing elements relating to personal health that inevitably would be experienced in such a situation. Despite this a tear was shed, mainly out of the thought of actually going home to a warm bed knowing that life does go on!
