hyped garbage

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Not a epic movie but can say its a good watch, character of person held in nowhere between sea is played well.

I dont usually write reviews, infact i've never actually written a movie review before, but this movie seriously compelled me to write one! Now im no sailor, in fact, ive only ever been on a boat a handful of times in my life, but i can see the glaringly obvious mistakes Robert Redford's character makes.. Firstly, who has a shave right before a storm breaks out whilst you've a hole in your boat? he then puts the emergency storm rig on WHILST the storm is in full swing. surely you'd do that before a major storm hit? His character then gets dragged into the water and at which point im actually hoping he drowns as his stupididly is beginning to wear on me. Robert then hops back on the boat and puts his rain hood up due to the storm and it's raining .. after just being completely submerged in the ocean.. just stupid... I got 35 minutes into this movie before i had to turn it off and write this review. Awful awful movie!

This film is brilliant, Robert Redford is exceptionally powerful in this film, I see some poor reviews which startles me somewhat but I know that people have different reactions to stories.To me the film is metaphorical of our times, confused, desperate, dooms day clock at 2 to midnight, climate change crisis and so on - it is literally not about any of these topics but the film offers enough generosity to allow for an exploratory interpretation.I recommend this film, be prepared to find a quiet spot and turn up the volume enough to have a good experience. I hope you love the movie as much as I. do. Don't bring popcorn by the way.

For me, a lot of my lasting impression of a film is shaped by how I felt going into it. For 'All Is Lost' my hopes were high following very positive reviews I'd read.The film and Redford received high praise so I was set for a startler. I really didn't feel this was delivered. I can't even decide if Redfords performance was all that special. I didn't really get pulled into his plight. I didn't feel for him in a very human way. There was nothing that really drew me in.Tom Hanks (you can't not compare here) had Wilson. This device really made you feel for him in a human way. You felt his despair. All Redford had were a few recited lines from a letter he writes.I can only liken this to a song with no hook. There's no final blow that really gets you in the pit of the stomach.It finished. End credits. It wasn't bad. But I'll never think of it again. On to the next film please, or maybe even a re-watch of Cast Away.........
