Review of The Island

This movie is my favorite movie of the summer. It is hands down the most exiting flick of the big blockbusters. It is both exiting, funny, mildly scary, and very well put together. It has its flaws but they are obvious and still do not detract from the excitment. You would think that this subject has been down already and it has but this film proves that if you have pretty good actors, and a decent script, you can pull off almost anything.

I won't give away the plot but here are some inconsistancies. #1: The citizens are not sexually active, yet there is a pregnant woman. #2: Investors have spent 120 billion on the facility but each product only costs $5 million and there are 2,500 of them. That is a pretty sucky return. But perhaps they want to make it up on volume.

Ewan McGregor proves he can act...again.

Overall it is a solid future-shock movie that holds true to its identity and does not blow vomit chunks as soooooo many other movies about this kind of stuff tend to do.

It gets an 8
