    Default The Island

    Wow, i really thought this was one of the better movies i've seen in a long time. I have to admit, it was a lot more then i expected by looking at the trailer. The trailer looked sort of neat, but yet confusing as to the plot.
    Then i saw it, and was very impressed. So much action!!! Cool futuristic effects, great special effects. Pretty believable overall with no cheese.

    It's pretty different, but yet some slight parts from say, Coma,Matrix (in some very small similarities.), & Total Recall. I know everyone has there own opinions, so it's gonna very, but i thought it was a pretty awesome movie. I read that the opening weekend wasn't the hottest, and it's sad. I don't believe they did much advertising. I few friends i talked to said they didn't really hear anything about it. Which is true i guess. I've seen one or 2 commercials on tv. But overall i would give it a 8 out of 10 scale myself. Worth seeing. I didn't want to see it end to be honest with you. Compared to some movies where you were wondering where the end was.

    Michael Bay is my all time favorite director. Every movie he makes is a huge blockbuster.

    Bad Boys 1
    The Rock
    Armagedon
    Pearl Harbor
    Bad Boys 2
    The Island

    and helped produce the new Texas Chainsaw Massacare.

    Haven't seem the island yet, but I am looking forward to seeing it.

    Michael Bay likes to use a lot of the same actors in a bunch of his movies so it is quiet possible. In every one of his movies there is always at least 2 or 3 actors that have appeared in his previous films.

    no ME four 12, it was the CIEN by cadallic...still pretty nice even though the one in the movie was just a remake of the 2002 concept car that they built in 12 days....it only flashes across the screen for a second but they've also got the same lexus concept car from minority report.

    Just saw it right now and must say it was an awesome movie! Great acting and great action scenes! Some parts were confusing to understand but got it towards the end. Great movie if you haven't seen it already!
