Watch The Island For Free

Brilliant and touching

Absolutely the worst movie.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

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. The Island might actually be one of Bay's most underrated projects and even tho it takes inspiration from Total Recall and other science fiction movies it does things on it's own Bayform way with some terrific action sequences (like the scene in the bridge) and 2 terrific performances from Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor and once again Sean Bean as the villain which is a good things as always. The cgi and the effects in general are superb and there's a lot of suspense and a good overall concept and i wish that some people left their vendetta with Michael Bay sometimes and actually realized that not all of his movies are terrible as they might think they are. (A+)

I couldn't remember any Ewan McGregor movies. I liked him in Fargo so I thought I'd check out a few more. And ironically another one with a dual role.Great film. It is somewhere in between the Matrix, Equilibrium and some of the writers own ideas, but aside from some weird holes in the plot (why isn't 'the product' better secured?) the film is really fun to watch.And, most importantly: Sean Bean's character dies :) I can't think of a single movie or TV show that his character survives. He must be fun to kill.

Is the first thing that comes to my mind when i think about The Island, because this movie is so amazing that i can't get together that it's from the same guy who made Bad Boys and Transformers...Which is a big compliment, because this is, without a doubt, his best film, but sadly also the reason he now does nothing else then Transformers, because this movie didn't made it all that well at the box-office....but Toys do...The story is really interesting and works fairly well, it's a kinda mix out of The 6th Day and Logan's Run (which i both also enjoy).The special effects are so great that my mom thought this movie was new and wondered why it's on live-TV already...The action is also great as always (mostly the Freeway chase scene) BUT, like the story, also untypical for a Bay-flick, is that the main Protagonist never use guns or anything to directly kill anyone, because that would go against their characters...which is mind blowing if you think about it...Also the actors are all very good, especially Ewan McGregor (who also played Dr. Sam Foster in "Stay" and Obi-Wan Kenobi in "Revenge of the Sith" in the same year!) and Scarlett Johansson who are incredibly believable as two clones who aren't even teenagers if you think about it.A weakness of the movie is the fast pacing which let's no room for real dramatic tension, many scenes wrap up very quickly and the characters often have no chance to properly react to the strange things which are going on around them...But apart from this, it's a very entertaining, thought provoking, sci-fi-actioner, and Michael Bays best effort...

a delicate theme. decent acting. romance, thriller, appearances and adventures. the truth. and the need to change everything for survive. it is obvious , after so many Sci. Fi. thrillers, The Island could not be a surprise. same ingredients, same story lines, same plot, with few not great nuances. but it has the gift to reminds the fairy tale. to remember the expectation of child from us. for give new clothes to the conspiracy theory. and to have in the lead roles Scarlett Johanson and Ewan McGregor. and few charming scenes who are a seductive motif for not ignore it. sure, it is not a profound or serious plot. and the things are far to be revelations. but it is nice. and in the time of films created only as exposure of new technology, The Island is a decent story about hope, love and fight for survive.
