Paul P @SticksGood May 2 This movie had so much potential but it is just....stupid. I love the premise and it's shot well, it just lacks that oomph and their naivety was misdone. I want someone to remake it. See more Kazimeras A @RT25689598 Apr 22 Great movie idea. Not bad execution. Kept seeing and hearing a jedi idk about that. Scarlett, I have a crush on her, can't comment more. Camera work sucked. Thanks for this product. See more S S. @SShol Apr 16 Genuinely the best Michael Bay film out there. It’s very Logan’s Run (1976), and it keeps you on your toes with plenty of action and plot twists. Good acting, and it’s got some ideas behind the action for once. Extremely well done See more Luff V @Aubambambam Apr 4 Michael Bay films like an advertising director of the late 1990s so the film looks dated not because of the screenplay, not because of the actors, but just because of Michael Bay's tackiness that ages badly. Worst music score ever adds to the viewers' nausea. Story moves very slowly at first. After a wee hour of tedious exposition the movie finally takes off. See more Carson P @Parkerdean Mar 18 It’s a smart and intelligent film with efficient storytelling and is very well directed mcGregor and Johansson are great togeather wit chemistry as those who want to escape being transported to torment. The island should be classified as a vessel of work and sophistication bay and the writers orci and kurtzman get very deep with the story and it’s messaging of it it never feels noisy despite being an action film with car chases and gunfights wich is the only think loud about it just like with any movie with action in it. And after the endless and vile mess that was bad boys 2 bay managed to impress us by making a prestige sci fi in vein of minority report to improve the reputation into a director making more sophisticated action cinema balancing action with meaningful themes and it works on just about every level. See more Calvin T @RT46910769 Mar 11 Futuristic thriller about a contained, seemingly utopian facility in the mid-21st century. The residents hope to be chosen to go to the Island - the last uncontaminated place on Earth, but when one inhabitant discovers that there are sinister forces at work, he and a female friend make a daring escape. In the film The Island, the best scene is when clones Lincoln Six Echo and Jordan Two Delta discover the truth about their existence and escape the sterile compound into the harsh, vast desert of the outside world, finally experiencing real freedom. It is a visually stylish, high-octane sci-fi thriller, elevated by a compelling, thought-provoking premise about cloning ethics and human commodification, strong lead performances, and intense, action-packed sequences. It blends dystopian mystery with Michael Bay’s signature kinetic direction to create a fast-paced viewing experience. The primary weaknesses are from its derivative storyline, over-the-top action, and excessive commercialism. See more Read all reviews
