The Island Reviews

8/10

Dang this is very well done for a 2005 film! Not the greatest acting but they were clones who hadn’t really explored the real world, so by that account the acting was great! Great car chase scenes! Funny this is what they considered some of 2019 to look like, we are behind schedule a bit with some technology, or are we?

Harika bir senaryo kendini izlettiren bir bilim kurgu filmi boş zamanınızı değerlendirmek için harika bir seçim ayrıca bu filmdeki Scarlett Johansson Hollywood tarihindeki gelmiş geçmiş en güzel oyuncu zannımca sadece onun bu halini seyr etmek için bile defalarca izlenir:)

So much of that Transformers-esque editing. A high octane, sci fi thriller with a hell of a plot armor. Touches the topic quite superficially but it does use a great concept and keeps things interesting.

a major ethical dilemma 😭

Really good movie genuinely. Amazing acting, fire plot, and honestly cool science.

Imma be honest and say I skipped the last 30 minutes just to see the end and it was as cringe as the rest of the movie. What a waste of time 🤡

It was definitely a good concept but at points it was a bit boring

Great story. Great performance from Ewan and ScarJo 🙌 awesome sci-fi movie

A real mixed bag here, fittingly being the last Michael Bay film I had left to watch, although a rewatch is due for MANY.

Despite being pretty early in his filmmaking career, The Island contains all of the best, and worst quirks of what makes Bay tick. It’s an underwhelming plot that feels rehashed and re-realised from many different films that came before. There’s some considerably bad acting and even worse dialogue present throughout. I will say the visual effects were really impressive for 2005, and despite their simplicity - the costume designs are certainly recognisable.

Pretty sub-par stuff from both McGregor and Johansson. They weren’t especially bad, and a lot of their “under-developed” nature plays into the characters, but I have to say it never felt convincing. Sean Bean was great though, and I often found myself yearning for him to pop-up - although he did need more screen time to be better fleshed out and impactful.

The balls to the wall action set pieces toward the end of the second act was a fundamentally the “Michael Bay Experience” and was genuinely thrilling - I just wish it occurred in one of his better movies…

Pretty dense with sci-fi, thriller action in classic Bay style. Draws from other ideas but is still entertaining. ScarJo and Ewan carry it.

anaphys and bio flashbacks...never again

This is suchhh a good movie. Super intense & interesting.

It was fun, classic Michael bay. The product placement was funny

it’s ok

La fin est rushée et je suis pas le plus fan des rôles d’action pour Ewan. Par contre je savais que Michael Bay recyclait des plans dans ces films et bien là on retrouve les mêmes scènes de The Island dans Transformers 3 (légèrement modifiées) 👯‍♂️

Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor! Awesome movie and very interesting premise!
