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: The cast got skillz (and they're pretty, too); Bay knows adrenaline; an actual STORY!
Cons: SHakY CaMErA TriCKs (bArf), weak ending

The Island – Relatively Spoiler Free This flick is not some incarnation of “Survivor”, so get that out of your head now. This movie would be getting better reviews from professional reviewers, and would be gettng better word of mouth, ...

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: 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: Good action, good actors, a fun time.
Cons: Editing could use some work. Scenes drag in parts.

If you've seen Logan's Run starring Michael York, you've pretty much figured out the entire movie. If not, let me explain. Logan's Run takes place in 2274, where survivors of a holocaust now live inside a domed city. Nobody lives beyond the age of 30 and ...

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: 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: 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: Great effects, interesting premise/plot
Cons: Very Long, some parts are slow

Running a lengthy 2 hrs and 7 minutes, The Island was a very intriguing sci-fi thriller starring several A-list actors such as Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johansson, Djimon Hounsou (the lead in Amistad), and Michael Clarke Duncan. In brief, the movie ...

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: Funny moments, easy to grasp general concept
Cons: Unrealistic at some parts, action sequences confusing

I saw the previews for the movie several times, and thought "Eh, looks good, maybe I'll rent it when it comes out on DVD." That sort of thing. However, a few days before it came out, my friend invited me to go see it with her. I agreed, and a few days ...

Pros: Great character development, great cinemaphotography, great special effects,
Cons: Would people really raise humans just to harves thier organs?

Again, let me just add my voice to the rest. I thought this was a really good movie. I read a book that this movie was based on, and believe it or not the movie was even better. The movie has good character development(a bigger necesity than special effects in my opinion)

The Special Effects:

Great, the scenes are very believable, nothing looks fake. Seamless.

The Action:

Right on the money. Plenty of believable action scenes.

Story line:

Believable,,,I guess but very well played out.

Character Development:

Excellent:

Pros: SPOILER: It was suspenseful until we learned they were being cloned for spare parts.
Cons: The car crashes were obviously miniaturized.

An unoriginal compilation of "Logan's Run" meets "The Fast & the Furious Furious". How disappointing & predictable. The entire premise was cloned from a story about clones. Instead of Logan 5, the hero's name is Lincoln Six Echo. In "Logan's Run", Jenny Agutter played Jessica 6. Scarlett Johannson's character is Jordan Two Delta. Oh yeah, Richard "Jordan" was the antagonist in Logan's Run. Coincidence or plagiarism? Logan & Jessica were destined for "renewal". After "decontamination", Lincoln 6E & Jordan 2D were promised life on "The Island". In the predictable finale, the destruction of the underground complex & subsequent exodus scenes were almost identical to "Logan's Run". Frankly, I do not recall so many car crashes in a Sci-fi thriller.

Pros: Attractive actors in wild chase scenes.
Cons: Less than beiievable plot. Stylistically confused.

"The Island" could surely have been a terrific movie. A cool idea and a decent budget was a real opportunity. It seems that so little care went into the writing. Is it enough to have lots of chase scenes and explosions? Maybe it is. It could have been so much more entertaining if they hadn't stretched willing suspension of disbelief beyond all limits. The writing and visual styles were inconsistent but not in a good way. Is it a thriller or a farce? "Brazil" mixed styles, too but somehow that film worked quite a bit better than this one. The cast is strong but even they can't quite make this one work. One doesn't expect much from summer releases and this meets all expectations. Does one really want to pay to watch a film that seems only to have been made for someone's hefty payday?

Pros: you'll love it
Cons: well, i wish there wasn't as much sex in it

I'd highly recommend watching the island. It will be one that i buy when it comes out on dvd. I'm very selective in what i buy but this will definitely be one of them.

Good screenplay, good acting, good effects, good plot, good message. The more i think about the movie the more i like it, i'm planning on seeing it again before it leaves theaters, and buying it when it comes out.

to be honest i went out and got some water when things were getting 'romantic' so i don't know how bad that got, but i heard it was funny? i don't know how that could be, but then again i did miss that part.
