The start is probably the slowest part of the movie but is also the part with the most character development. Obviously the movie had to start slow to build up tension for the inevitable disaster that takes place. It does this really well but could probably have been a bit faster. The moment of the plane crash is absolutely horrifying, it's done so extremely well. Once he is stranded on the island, the music cuts off and really emphasises his loneliness. The acting is spectacular but after the huge skip in time the movie becomes extremely predictable. This predictability makes the movie rather dull but it still manages to create an atmospheric and sad ending really well. The whole romantic side is a bit overplayed and annoying but it all works out well in the end :)
