The Island (2005)
7/10
Skeptical at first, but then...
3 August 2005
What do you know? It's great, the action, the plot, though not original, it is said to be a remake, but it was a good one, better believe that! It is about a group of naive humans sheltered in this futuristic metropolis after they've been told that the world has been destroyed, and they do labor in the place their in, and there is this lottery, that if they are selected, then they can go to 'The Island', the so-called last paradise on Earth. Until one of them played by Ewan McGregor, discovers that they are actually "spare parts for rich people in the real world, in short, they are clones, and to the perspective of the scientists who created them, "what's wrong with killing them? They aren't even real people." And Licoln Echo Six, together with the winner, played by Scarlett Johansson, escape and try to find a way to end what they are doing to the others. Overall, a very good popcorn flick, with a great action, and a great cast, I loved Djimon's character also, and a great plot, depicting human cloning. Michael Bay did a good job, even though, according to several sources, that he is said that he didn't buy the rights for this, I heard this is a remake of a B-movie called The Clonus Horror, or something, and I heard the director, I think he is named, Robert Fiveson, and he might sue them, but I'm sure they will reach a compromise, my thoughts only! Overall, better than Pearl Harbor! End of a Comment: I forgot about dissing this more than Michael Bay forgot to buy the rights for The Clonus Horror, when he made The Island. I changed my mind about him making movies more than he changed it from being a B-movie, And that's an awful lot there. And now, now I liked this, and the point is: The Island is better than Pearl Harbor and I like it. I need to see it again more like Michael Bay needs a good lawyer if he ever gets sued. I need it more like Ewan McGregor needs a different look, he looked just like Christian, the CLB from Smackdown. And now, all I can think about is seeing this movie again! The Island did not suck and I wish to see it again. Why does Hollywood have to keep on remaking movies? I guess The Island is better than Pearl Harbor, just a little bit more than Fiveson needs to calm down.
