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
April 29, 2009
A crowd-pleasing and entertaining film about humanity and heart with excellent performances and competent directing from Spielberg.

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.

A great filmmaker doing minor work.

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.

Even in the desolation of an airport lounge at midnight, Viktor is too pure, we realize, to entertain the ghost of a dirty thought.

Probably the worst-directed film Spielberg has ever made.

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

Lovely and well worth sharing with your family.

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

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.

Amiable if rather toothless fable.
