Island

Pros: Clones act human, futuristic, exciting, suspenseful
Cons: Leaves questions unanswered, main characters' personalities change drastically once outside

Wow. Just wow. I went into this movie hoping it would be a thriller but had never heard of The Island before so really had no preconceived notions. I do love futuristic movies and this one was set in the future. I was shocked when I learned there ...

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing for me

Have you ever wished you had a clone and can get body parts harvested when you need them? Well that is basically what the island is about Lincoln Six-Echo (McGregor - Star Wars 1,2 and 3) is having dreams of a boat leaving for a island with Jordan ...

Pros: Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johansson, Sean Bean, the script, the musical score, nearly everything
Cons: limited Michael Clarke Duncan role, a little too long

What draws audiences today to science-fiction thrillers set within the ‘not too distant’ future? Can it be the mystery, the intrigue, or the fear of the change that could potential swipe mankind into an alter environment we are unfamiliar with? ...

Pros: Cinematography, Chemistry, Depth of Message, Action Scene on Semi.
Cons: Product Placement, Too Little Scarlett, and Unbelievable Scene.

The reviewers who are bashing this movie are blind. Yes, blind. They write things like, "It's a Michael Bay movie, need I say more?" It appears to me that they had this movie boxed straight to DVD before they entered the theater. I saw this movie ...

Pros: A great film to watch
Cons: Could this be our future?

I bought this DVD in Germany for 21.99 euros (I'm not sure how much this is in dollars but I think it is quite cheap) which is quite good value for me. I only bought this because Ewan McGregor is in the starring role and I absolutely love his films. ...

Pros: Attractive talented leads, interesting story
Cons: Second half becomes a shooting spree, despite the intelligent first half

It's not often that a Michael Bay movie flops at the box office - in fact, it's never. But The Island started out at a #4 spot and only went downhill from there. With a 122 million-dollar budget, the already sinking Dreamworks Company has probably spent ...

Pros: Entertaining, thought-provoking concepts, attractive visuals
Cons: Too many action scenes back-to-back in second half

The Island stars Ewan McGregor (Lincoln Six Echo) and Scarlett Johansson (Jordan Two Delta) as inhabitants of a futuristic indoor world after the “contamination” of the outer world. Life is filled with rigorous rules regarding eating, sex, and ...

Pros: Highly paced action scenes.
Cons: Story is similar to the 1979 film "The Colonus horror"

Introduction: The movie "island" is a Michael bay directed film is similar to the 1979 film "The Clonus Horror". The Evan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson starer film is a story of clones who are ignorant of their existence living in an isolated ...

Pros: -Intense Action -Good Story -It's a Michael Bay film...
Cons: Some actions are so intense it's silly.

A film that has been underrated by many, I actually found the movie enjoyable. Horrible marketing ruined the film’s potential to be a major blockbuster. It was probably the reason why many avoided the movie, bad timing + bad trailers = loss ticket sales. ...

Pros: Good, clean, silly fun. Very agreeable performance by Ewan McGregor.
Cons: Typical Michael Bay emptiness

While this is certainly no masterpiece, THE ISLAND did provide two hours of entertaining, preposterous noise...it was fun. If someone was hoping for or expecting more from it, I guess you've never seen the previews or any other movies by Michael ...

Pros: Great story
Cons: The trailers didn't do their job

It should be noted that The Island is blockbuster director Michael Bay’s first bomb. After a string of successful action movies such as Armageddon and The Rock, it was inevitable that something of his bit the dust. What’s sad is that ...

Pros: Good actors, lots of action, it's a fun movie.
Cons: Totally predictable, especially if you've seen the commercials.

Why should I reveal any major plot points about this movie at Epinions.com when the commercials already tell the whole story? Okay, so I wasn't even going bother seeing this movie in the theaters because the commercials already showed the whole ...

Pros: McGregor and Johansson, great action, fast paced
Cons: Underutilized supporting cast, too many 'Run Lola Run' reminders

So I went to a deserted island last week. Actually I went to see The Island, and it was deserted (thank Jay Leno for that joke). Seriously though, this has been one of the worst received blockbusters of the year, and did not premiere in theaters with a ...

Pros: special effects, story, acting
Cons: Michael Bay-style ending

Note: To the readers who've seen the trailers to "The Island," this review contains no spoilers. To the five people in the country who haven't seen the promos or are aware of the plot revelations, some crucial plot information is revealed. We meet ...

Pros: McGregor. Cast. Use of CGI. Attempted ideas.
Cons: Underdeveloped Johansson character. Naive and physics defying at times.

It is quite evident on Epinions that any component of a Michael Bay fan club is non-existent. I for one have despised much of the directors previous work. I severely have disliked nearly everything he has created and I am sure I will be abhorred by ...
