Acerca deste filme

Blockbuster action director Michael Bay delivers a striking look at a strange world of the future in this sci-fi action drama. Midway through the 21st century, Lincoln Six Echo (Ewan McGregor) lives in a confined indoor community after ongoing abuse of the Earth has rendered most of the planet uninhabitable. One of the only places in the outside world still capable of sustaining life is an idyllic island where citizens are chosen to live through a lottery. Or at least that's what Lincoln and his fellow citizens are taught to believe; the truth is that Lincoln, like everyone he knows, is actually a clone who is kept under wraps to provide needed organs when the person who supplied his or her DNA falls ill. When he becomes aware that his existence is a fraud, Lincoln escapes to the outside world with a fellow clone, Jordan Two Delta (Scarlett Johansson), though the powers that be are determined to see that no one gets away alive. The Island also stars Steve Buscemi, Djimon Hounsou, Michael Clarke Duncan, and Sean Bean.

3 and a half to 4. The Island is a beautiful film with the compound, and then throws you into amazing action. That is the good but the bad is that I just feel here ScarJo and McGregor deserve more, and their acting was ok in this. But really the action is so good. The film gets alittle silly and alittle offensive in a Christian sense. Use caution. Defiently one of those good but a bit lower Bay films.

really good outing from Michael Bay and Scarlett Johansson is as beautiful as ever in this sci-fi movie about the future (sort of) I enjoyed the movie very much and keep a copy in my collection. very good with a twist.

Anything with Johannson in it for her sake appears to be a winner. If you consider when this movie was made in 2005 it was a sample of action and computer science manipulation to come. Synthetic peoples stand in for parts of the originals was a very popular theme among the science fiction paperbacks at that time and as scrip has burnt itself out now.
