Movies: The Terminal

Saw this over the weekend in a surprisingly almost empty theatre but thought it was very good. Hanks again gives an amazing performance, a performance particularly difficult because he is so well known so trying a play a character who can't speak English is a difficult thing for the audience to believe. I didn't find the relationship with Catherine Zeta-Jones's character to work very well but the rest of the movie was extremely good. The way Hanks's motivation for being in New York is slowly revealed is interestingly done. The airport terminal sets (and they are sets) are exquisitely detailed and massive and completely believable. ***1/2
