I love this movie so much

That was an excellent one.

Fresh and Exciting

Absolutely the worst movie.

The film is directed with understated skill - the ocean is very convincing - CGI is subtle and effective. Robert Redford carries the film with a deliberate stoicism - The muted performance is refreshing, but sometimes left me wanting more. At times his character seemed genuinely unbothered by the desperate circumstances - where some outburst would have felt more appropriate.

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerFirst off, the film has little to no dialogue but still has the power to invoke emotion and tell a powerful story. The film depicts the triumph of the human will and how even an old man can overcome the greatest of odds. The story is powerful and tense. It tells a brutal story that has the possibility of being a great tragedy. The ending is powerful and sent chills down my spine.Robert Redford gives one of his greatest performances of his career. In a film with little dialogue, he takes command of the screen by showing his emotions through fascial expressions and body language. Redford is the only actor in the entire film and he show us he doesn't need the help of supporting actors to make a good movie.The cinematography is gorgeous. The ocean, the sounds of the water, and the fish all look beautiful The pacing is a little slow, but the intense moments make up for that. The runtime is a little overlong. Also, when the first storm picks up it looks like greenscreen in a bad way.Pros: Powerful story about the triumph of the human will, gorgeous cinematography, Robert Redford's outstanding performance, and a touching endingCons: Some slow pacing, an overlong runtime, and some ugly greenscreenOverall Rating: 8.2P.S. This film might not be for everyone but I would highly recommend it because of Robert Redford's knockout performance

The fact that I was riveted by a movie with zero dialog really says something. This was purely visual storytelling: visceral and compelling.

Everyone who reads my reviews knows I don't have respect for the Academy Awards anymore. If you still revere and watch the Oscars every year, you need to watch All is Lost. Robert Redford, at seventy-seven years old, stars as a shipwrecked man fighting for survival. He's the only actor in the entire movie. It's a virtually silent performance. He wasn't nominated for an Oscar, the same year Tom Hanks wasn't nominated for Captain Phillips. What does it take? For love of Robert Redford, I sat through this ocean-set film. I'm deathly afraid of water, so it was very difficult and there were times when I covered my eyes. I can imagine that, if I wasn't afraid of water, the movie would still be extremely tense. This man is stuck on a tiny boat in the middle of the ocean and faces more obstacles than anyone in the world ever should—the dire peril he's in is always keenly felt by the audience. From running out of drinking water to getting surrounded by sharks, he fights during every scene to survive.Next to The Great Gatsby, this is the best performance of Robert Redford's career. With pretty much no spoken lines, no name, and no background to his character or situation, he manages to bond with the audience and capture their emotions. Watch this movie. I haven't watched the Oscars since.
