THE ISLAND(2005)
I had low expectations for this after aall I'd heard about
it! I was pleasently surprised at how much I enjoyed this!
Certainly worth watching, maybe evem more than once!!! B+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
This film is about two people in a futuristic utopian facility
finding out the truth behind their seemingly fulfilling life.
From the beginning to the end, this film has so much to offer.
There is plenty of eye candies such as the stylish sets, tight
and sexy costumes, good looking leads, and lots of action. I
think Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson work together very
well, and they are convincing as best friends and lovers. The
action scenes are breathtaking, the car chases and the downtown
chases are so exciting and gripping. I don't know why it was a
flop in the cinemas in America. This film is simply got all
the elements of a blockbuster.
Apart from this, it also explores the moral and ethical issues
concerned with the science of human cloning. Is it right to
clone? Do clones have the right to live? Though this film is
not to provide answers, it certainly is thought provoking and
will stimulate discussion for years to come. - Gordon-11
