A great concept that should have been much more. The story is actually pretty interesting, but with Michael Bay you're going to have more explosion than exposition. Good in small doses, but not a favorite of mine. |

For Michael Bay, it's actually pretty good |
|
Entertaining science-fiction action flick goes in some surprising directions, but the second half feels just like every other Michael Bay action movie. The film doesn't offer any suggestions for its ill-conceived ending, but Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson make an attractive action duo. Final Grade: B- |

dynamic but unoriginal |
|
The movie is gripping, dramatic, suspenseful and occasionally dynamic, which all in all would be given the credit of being a spectacular movie, although I only rate it ¾ as the island is the exact copy of many revolutionary films – 1984 and V for Vendetta. |

They Program You While You Sleep |
|
"We control them with the memory of a shared event: global catastrophe . . . their only hope is the Island."
Like other Edge-of-Construct films (Matrix, Truman Show, Dark City), the Island is concerned with the mechanics of social control.
Part 'Brave New World', part 'Blade Runner.' |

One thing I'd take to a dessertic island: 2 Delta. |
|
The first dream scene seems to be taken from another world, considering we're talking about a Bay flick. The movie came kind of late to me. I've seen the subject done in other places, different formats... The action is cool, and Scaralett Johansson is indeed one of the hottest woman alive. |
