I think the film is about how one man, trapped in a terminal due to circumstances beyond his control, can affect many lives around him while the world catches up to set things right. It how the little things in life culminate and make for bigger life-turning moments. Tom Hanks' character, Viktor, is a metaphor for a terminal in that through him, he allows others to make connections that allow them to get from point A to point B (good or bad).
The film opens a bit slowly as Viktor gets acclimated to his new surroundings, but the 2nd act is very entertaining as it shows his resourcefullness to adapt and operate in this strange new "economy" that resides inside a terminal. The 3rd act does its best to tie up the loose ends, some are tied up well, some are left loose.
I give it 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.
