À propos de ce film

Lincoln Six-Echo is running for his life - a life he knows little about except for two things. One: Authorities at the tightly controlled facility that sheltered him said he would someday live in the paradise that is Earth's last inhabitable place. Two: It was all a lie. Ewan McGregor is Lincoln Six-Echo and Scarlet Johansson is Jordan Two-Delta, scrambling to elude deadly pursuers in an outside world they've never before experienced. Michael Bay directs, delivering high tech excitement as he peels back layers of mystery surrounding the fugitives. The sights dazzle. The pace thrills. The story, set in 2019, probes a jolting, palpably real future shock. "You've been chosen. The island awaits you".

Notes et avis

This film is A rated, in my opinion. Nigh on anyone can watch and enjoy it. A good example of dystopian sci-fi in which it is NOT a good idea to trust "the man", even if he is a doctor.

One of my favourite film director's is Michael Bay. I love his style and he's a great teacher. This film isn't that bad at all. Ewan is decent in it. Djimon Honsou is great, Sean Bean is cool. Scarlett is very hot in this. Steve Buscemi is good too. The action is staged well. Cinematography is good. It's watchable.

I still don't know why it is only 40% on Rotten Tomatoes; I have watched it several times and enjoyed it each and every time. Definitely recommend to everyone.
