The Terminal Ratings & Reviews
- mickerdooJuly 14, 2025Charmingly understated film. Shows the power that kindness and patience have over pride and selfishness. Really beautiful. Hanks shines.
- flavo43December 25, 2025I absolutely loved The Terminal. Tom Hanks brings Viktor Navorski to life with such warmth and sincerity that I was invested from the very first scene. Watching him navigate the absurd situation of being trapped in an airport—caught in bureaucratic limbo—was both funny and unexpectedly moving. What impressed me most was how Navorski survives not through force or luck, but through intelligence, kindness, and an infectious optimism that slowly wins over the people around him. The supporting characters add so much charm, and I enjoyed seeing how this little community forms inside a place most of us think of as cold and impersonal. The film blends romantic comedy with gentle drama in a way that feels effortless, never tipping too far in either direction. For me, The Terminal is one of those rare movies that leaves you smiling long after it ends. It’s absolutely worth watching.
- sopulaMay 29, 2025It's castaway but Tom Hanks is lost in an airport (i think its because of the similar reviews in a row that i have to add extra to this review)
- shmericshmorterDecember 14, 2025This was cute. Tom Hanks being wholesome and whatnot. You don't see movies about a guy stuck in a terminal anymore unless there's like a hostage situation or something. Nope. Just bureaucracy.
- Y0URmessiahNovember 23, 2025It's a great movie that's somewhat based on a true story. It's a feel good movie for the ages.
- supderpbroOctober 17, 2025Thom Hunks doing an Eastern European accent and pretending to barely speak English for 2 hours. I liked it.
- Pray4moneyJuly 30, 2025Heart warming film. Based on a very more tragic true story.
- Eric BakkeJanuary 29, 2025The Terminal may not be one of Spielberg’s or Tom Hanks' most memorable films, but it still offers an enjoyable and heartwarming experience. The story, though simple, is charming and entertaining, and Hanks delivers a fun performance of a very likable character with lots of warmth and depth.
