The Island Reviews and Ratings

November 18, 2009This has to be the only Michael Bay movie i've thoroughly enjoyed. Mainly it goes to the casting and concept, which were both phenomenal. Yes, it's not perfect and it has a couple more explosions than were necessary but I was expecting that going in. Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Jo...( read more)

November 7, 2009Who would believe it? All I know is, people will do anything to survive. I want to live and I don't care how
Excellent film.
The concept of freedom is well described so as human selfishness.
The most frightful thing is to think that something like this is ...( read more) -

November 2, 2009tipica pelicula de michael bay. ya que tiene mucha accion rara sin poca trama

October 31, 2009The Island entertained me from start to finish; at first we get a look at the clones and then later we have people chasing two of the runaway clones. i loved the whole idea of a picture of how the future could be (it actually made me wonder if clones really do have feelings or no...( read more)

October 28, 2009They were clones used as spare parts for rich humans who got sick its like buying you're own organ donor.

October 24, 2009The beginning was strong, with a frightening and intelligent idea that updated Logan's Run. But once the cards were on the table, all that was left were loud and expensive special effects, the frightened looks of Scarlett Johansson, the maniacal over-acting of Sean Bean, and the...( read more)

October 23, 2009Absolutely fantastic film. The acting and casting is spot on and the plot is excellent and really makes you think. It worries me greatly just how likely this is to happen and brings into question a lot of morals

October 19, 2009A Ilha queria ser uma adaptação de Admirável Mundo Novo. Mas o filme se torna um thriller de ação cansativo.
-
October 17, 2009Michael Bay never really has a good story with his movies, so I wasn't expecting a story with a lot of depth. But once I started watching it, I found the plot really engaging. It's got a terrific concept, and we've seen a lot of clone movies, just not done like this. At times, th...( read more)

October 17, 2009The story takes place in a Utopia like facilty where people are told that they are quarantined from the rest of the world because of the 'dangerous infected world'. People live in a very controlled environment and one by one they are sent to the 'island' if they win 'the lottery'...( read more)

October 6, 2009Good story, great action, only a bit too bloody for my taste at times, but don't let that stop you because I am a real wuss when it comes to blood.

October 4, 2009Great movie,its thrilling and mysterious!And ofcouse is Ewan McGregor god as always!
-
September 30, 2009Very intriguing and thought-provoking story. Some great action scenes - I'd expect nothing less from Michael Bay.
-
September 28, 2009Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johansson, Djimon Hounsou and Steve Buscemi. How did this film go so wrong? Michael Bay, that?s what! Watch Logan's Run instead or THX 1138 or the news or read a book, have a bath?

September 27, 2009I loved this movie! I was really confused at the begining, but then everything clicked! it was funny, adventerous, kept my guessing. i really loved this movie!

September 20, 2009Totally AWESOME film >> I love the way there are 3 elements of films in this one movie >> "Logans Run >> Blade Runner & Minority Report << This is what I found >> very gripping and well worth watching over again. :o)
-
September 19, 2009Needs a meter wide bridge cable to suspend your disbelief with this far too over the top action sci fi flick. This film further cements my understanding that Michael Bay really needs someone to sit with him and tell him when he's being COMPLETELY INSANE. No, sorry, he's alright, ...( read more)

September 17, 2009A cool cast and a cool concept (Michael Bay style) are the highlights of this sci-fi futuristic film featuring an utopian and totalitarian society and the search for truth and freedom, action-packed of course. Worth seeing.
56/100 -

September 15, 2009The Island is very similar to Logan's Run, except that the people are clones, and are used as insurance policies for their sponsor (the person who had them made). Like in Logan's Run, the two main characters, Lincoln and Jordan, return to the facility to rescue the others.
-
September 14, 2009hate mcgreagor i think hes awful. And even though it was an interesting storyline the dodgey sci - fi feel and futuristc gadgets with boring acting makes this only barable the once round.

-
September 13, 2009Holy jeepers in Scarlett Johansson hot. The movie isn't worth squat, though.
-
-
September 4, 2009A good film, but brings nothing new to the genre. If you have seen "Gattica" or anything of that sort, this will not seem fresh to you. But it is okay in spots. Overall, not special but a decent ride with two talented actors.
