- A man living in a futuristic sterile colony begins to question his circumscribed existence when his friend is chosen to go to the Island, the last uncontaminated place on earth.
- Lincoln Six Echo is just like everyone else - he's waiting to go to the Island, the only place left in the world to actually live a life. Thousands of people stay at a facility waiting to go to the Island. It all sounds like paradise, but Lincoln Six Echo soon discovers that there's actually a sinister purpose going on at that facility and that he must escape - but not before stopping the sinister plan.
- There are many out there who despise anything and everything even remotely associated with the name "Michael Bay". I definitely cannot be placed in that category. I simply love his work to the extent of liking even his sappy, cliché filled take on the Japanese attack on "Pearl Harbor". Admit it, it had its moments.<br/><br/>Finally stepping out of the shadows of his mentor and producer Jerry Bruckheimer Bay takes a step in the right direction by focusing more on the human elements in this sci-fi tale and less on the "bang 'em up" style of action film-making he has become renowned (and sometimes critisised) for.<br/><br/>"The Island" tells the story of a cloning facility where clones are bred specifically for the purpose of providing organs for their "buyers" in the real world outside. This truth is carefully concealed from the clones. It is only when Lincoln Six Echo (Ewan McGregor) stats having nightmares and doubts about his existence that he uncovers the secrets of the facility.<br/><br/>The name of a director or star attached to a movie can often lead to many false and high expectations from viewers. Take for example a very recent case - take a very successful director with an unchallenged box-office record in the sci-fi genre, couple that with possibly the worlds box-office draw and give them a classic sci-fi novel to film. Fans expected a big sci-fi extravaganza with the usual "darn Yankee's saving the world" storyline. Sadly they didn't get it. Instead the got a more character driven story with the special effects and explosions shoved into the background. End Result? Unsatisfied moviegoers.<br/><br/>This is the same problem the usual Bruckheimer/Bay audience will get when first watching this movie. It's only natural for one to expect over-the-top action sequences from the first frame to the last. Unfortunately, or rather fortunately, as mentioned earlier Bay decides to pay more attention to plot & character development.<br/><br/>Does that mean the adrenaline junkie will be left out in the cold? Hell No! When the need arises Bay is not shy to show-off his new set of tricks without being far too excessive like he did in his last stint behind the camera on 2003's "Bad Boys II". He is to me the best American director who can shoot American style action. I don't mean the rip-off Hong Kong film techniques with all the slow motion, wire-work and gun play. This is good old' American action with death defying chases, explosions and special effects. There has never been a moment in any one of his movies where the action looks out of place, fake or unnecessary. Sure go ahead and mention the terrible scenes on the meteor from "Armageddon", jackass.<br/><br/>Here he ups the ante every chance he gets. He even manages to top the car chase sequence from "Bad Boys II". The sequence is thrilling and flawlessly captured. The "Transformers" movie adaptation is going to benefit from having his name attached to it.<br/><br/>I was never crazy for the plot when I first heard of it and true indeed the whole movie feels like an amalgamation of multiple sci-fi movies. The genre is vast with possibilities yet most Hollywood movies continue to take the same old path. However, writers Caspian Tredwell-Owen, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci should be credited for getting the elements packaged perfectly. By the time the end credits roll the viewer what he/she paid for - a good story, action and a believable climax.<br/><br/>All this is good and dandy but credit should also be awarded to the actors who lift this movie from being another run-of-the-mill tent pole extravaganza. Ewan McGregor once again proves why he is one of the best actors this generation has. I don't think many, if any, actors could have pulled the doppelganger act as well as he does.<br/><br/>I've only seen Scarlett Johansson in one movie ("In Good Company") and it was hard to judge her performance in that movie due to the limited scope her character got. Here she plays Jordan Two Delta, one half of the lead pair. After her initial appearance in this movie I was worried she would sink it. Her constant gasping, blank stare and lack of emotive abilities bugged me for much of the first act but fortunately she gets into character soon after.<br/><br/>The movie isn't missteps no matter how minor. Believe they are very minor but noticeable nonetheless. My first gripe with the movie is the convenient end to the chase sequence. For someone to survive something like that would really take a miracle. And the "Jesus must love you" excuse just doesn't cut it. You'll understand after you view this movie. The second contains spoilers so I won't share it with you. Just take note that it appears towards the climax.<br/><br/>Those are of course very minor problems I have with the movie. As a whole it is highly entertaining if a little predictable. How I wish they had tackled some of the deeper issues present scarcely throughout the movie. I guess that would just be a little too much, too soon for Michael Bay fans to stomach.
- 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.
- The Island begins with a whimper of interest as a cool-hued, cautionary exploration of the ethics of cloning, and ends, in a hail of product placement, with a dumb bang.
- The shooting script provided by IMSDb (dated 1/13/04) states his first name is BERNARD. Other scripts give different answers, but this seems to be the definitive one. Starkweather Two Delta's sponsor, Jamal Starkweather, was a professional football player. During the escape attempt, Starkweather ran full force into a guard, knocking him aside in much the way that the real Starkweather would during a football game. Most of the guards, likely big fans of the real Starkweather, found the collision hysterical because it looked like the real Starkweather playing football. a5c7b9f00b
