The Island [Blu-ray] [2005]

A fun little action thriller from Michael Bay with some science involved

Entertaining film that delves into some serious ethics questions.

I really like this movie alot. I remember watching it when it came out and I was in high school. I bought it recently as a cheaper add on purchase to skirt the 35$ Purchase for free shipping. Did not regret it. For being a Michael bay film it is surprisingly restrained. Pre transformers Bay. Pre Netflix Bay. And Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson do a good job in roles outside their norm. Good story. Good action. Good quotes for future use. …Dude.

So unlike many out there I am a fan of Michael Bay films. Been a fan since the first Bad Boys film. Yes, his films are usually just big explosions and over-the-top action, but that's why I enjoy them. Sometimes you just want to sit back and enjoy a fun action movie. Despite the fact that it didn't do well in theaters I think this is one of his better films. A fun, exciting movie with great action set pieces, a nice cast, an interesting story and a nice twist. PQ is solid with a sharp picture and vibrant colors. Great AQ as well, which you want with a big action movie like this. Special features are ok, but nothing that in depth. Recommended

I think this film is definitely underrated. It’s a really an interesting concept & not at all far fetched. that reality is not at all surprising at all. Who knows maybe science is on the verge of doing that. Again. There will be allot of opposition from many different groups. It even can be unethical. And yet what a powerful movie.
