The “acting” and “story” get in the way of the CGI.

Might be fairly opaque to people that have not read the novel, but pretty remarkable regardless.

Continues the theory that Stephen King short stories make better movies than his novels. One nit – all of the movie’s alternative endings are poor.

Not as good as the consensus seems to be, but still engaging. I prefer “Cast Away” to this.

Non-linearity that kinda works.

A movie very similar to this gets made every five years. Probably Heath Ledger’s most charming performance.
