The Terminal
The terminal is about a young aged person who arrives at the JFK airport but gets captured by some false administrative red tape who makes him have an impermanent home there. He turns this bad situation into his most enjoyable trip.

Lovely and well worth sharing with your family.

Amiable if rather toothless fable.

This is the first time in my life I wanted to spend more time in an airport terminal, and Spielberg is just such a brilliant filmmaker; the things he does with light and with motion and some amazing tracking shots.

The Terminal's conclusion was as awkward and aloof as O'Hare Airport in December.

Spielberg was able to make a post-9/11 film about a foreigner in an American airport without getting on a soap box about terrorism or airport anxiety

A great filmmaker doing minor work.

Even in the desolation of an airport lounge at midnight, Viktor is too pure, we realize, to entertain the ghost of a dirty thought.
April 29, 2009
A crowd-pleasing and entertaining film about humanity and heart with excellent performances and competent directing from Spielberg.
June 19, 2004
Probably the worst-directed film Spielberg has ever made.
June 24, 2004
A feel-good film of such originality and sweetness in a summer of otherwise derivative sequels and remakes that it practically qualifies for miracle status.

It's an odd fable: Viktor is the mysterious visitor who shows us what the American Dream is all about-in the movie's terms, compassion for others -- without ever wanting to become an American himself.

The concept was there; the production abilities were there. It's the execution that fell apart.
