Movie Reviews of The Island [UMD for PSP]
Movie Review: Compelling premise...makes you think but also an exciting flick to enjoy!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! I was absolutely blown away by this movie and had to watch it again in order to really understand everything that went on in it. It is definitely a classic Michael Bay directed film with all the action - and not too over the top as in the Transformers (even though that was good too!). McGregor and Johansson played their naive roles excellently and over the course of the film developed the necessary common sense to survive (but enough of that...don't want to give too much away). I consider this a classic film that will be discussed in film schools into the future, primarily as a thought in regards to "life insurance policies." A worthy film for all to watch at least twice in order to fully understand it all.
Summary of The Island [UMD for PSP]
When you add up all the best things about The Island, you might just conclude that there's hope yet for Hollywood's most critically reviled hit-maker, Michael Bay. Recruited by Steven Spielberg to direct this lavish and often breathtaking sci-fi action thriller, Bay rises to the occasion with an ambitious production that is, by his standards (and compared to Bay's earlier hits like The Rock and Armageddon), surprisingly intelligent as it explores the repercussions of cloning in a sealed-off society where humans are cultivated for spare parts, surrogate parenthood, and full-body replacements for wealthy clientele. But when two of the clones (Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johanssen) begin to question their fate and the motives of their keepers, they escape into the real world and The Island becomes just another Michael Bay action extravaganza, albeit an impressively exciting one. With elaborate chase scenes and a high-tech feast of CGI to dazzle the eye, The Island recycles much of the plot from 1979's Clonus while borrowing elements from Logan's Run, Gattaca and Minority Report, and while it's not as smartly conceived as those earlier films, there's no denying that, in many ways, it's Bay's best film to date. --Jeff ShannonHorror DVD Video
