![]() The sets were great when intimate, as well as grand otherwise. The soundtrack had original songs as well as new masterpieces. This is a movie about individuals with not only everything to lose, but everything to gain. While our characters trust the Force, they can’t manipulate it. ![]() There are no Jedi in this movie to come in and save the day. This is a movie about the pains of war, and doing things you will regret. It may not be Steven Spielberg's best movie, but it's certainly not his worst.HOLY COW WITH BLUE MILK! That was amazing! If you love Star Wars, you will love Rogue One. Overall, "The Terminal" is a simple but enjoyable feel-good movie that we think is worth checking out despite its faults. It can be a bit slow at times and the story starts to drag towards the middle of the second act. ![]() Another downfall of this film is its pacing. It's obvious he acts the way he does just so the story can have a villain beyond the bureaucracy of American red tape. Also, though we adore Stanley Tucci, his character Frank Dixon seems a little too vindictive at times. They are overly schmaltzy and syrupy sweet, a Spielbergian signature style, which may put some viewers off because they feel so totally out of the realm of possibility. These love stories are the weakest parts of the narrative. The second romance is between Viktor and a flight attendant named Amelia Warren, played by Catherine Zeta-Jones, who travels to and from the JFK airport often. There are a couple of romantic storylines thrown in as well, the first being between Zoe Saldana's Delores Torres and Diego Luna's Enrique Cruz. There are many moments of humor that come from Viktor's forced fish out of water scenario as he teaches himself English, keeps himself fed, and eventually, somehow, finds employment in the airport.

This means he is unable to get into New York and he also can't go home to Krakozhia. While traveling from Krakozhia to New York, a coup happens in his country, causing his passport and visa to be revoked. ![]() This story is not about Mehran Karimi Nasseri, but a fictional man named Viktor Navorski, played by Tom Hanks, who comes from the fictional country of Krakozhia. It is an entirely fictional story inspired by an actual person: an Iranian refugee named Mehran Karimi Nasseri, who was stuck living in the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris for about 16 years. Steven Spielberg's "The Terminal" is inspired by true events in the loosest sense of the phrase. Because of this, he is forced to take up residence in the international terminal of the JFK airport for an indefinite amount of time. This means he can't enter New York nor can he return home. Upon arriving in New York, he learns that his visa has been voided and his passport has been revoked. While Viktor Navorski was flying from his home country of Krakozhia to New York City, a military coup overthrew his country's government.
