The Island



Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic! I loved it!

Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson were awesome. Their characters were so believable and the way they played on each other scene by scene... there was chemistry there I tell ya!

I loved the humour that they threw in every now and then. It was fabulous. What I really liked, were the special effects and the angled shots. Like, a perspective shot from low angle on the train, or of certain other things... I thought it was awesome.

Basically it was about a company that was able to produce clones of real human beings, born into the world at the age of the original. They were developed to be used for spare organs when needed. The clones have absolutely no idea as to what's happening and their brains aren't developed enough to work certain things out until they are exposed to learning catalysts.

And, well, as you've guessed it, when they reach the real world... some things get quite crazy! Like that chase scene... man that was a little far fetched, but it was so "off the edge of your seat" type stuff that you didn't even stop to think why certain things were happening. The action was good too! A very enjoyable movie!! Definitely must own on DVD one day!! Oh... and how hot was Scarlett Johansson in this movie?? Dang!! She was soooo gorgeous!!
