The Island

Lincoln Six Echo and Jordan Two Delta are two residents in a strange, sterile facility that takes intense care of the residents. Apparently they are the last surviving humans after a contamination wiped out civilisation. Their only hope is to win the daily lottery, in which one inmate gets to go to The Island of paradise. Or, in reality, get chopped up for spare parts...

Really artistic sets, music and even some of the action was beautifully done. Needed some action editing and deeper story completion toward end.

This is one of those movies where the more you see it the better it gets. It needed more Lincoln/Jordan discovering the real world and each other after the client was dead to balance the story at the beginning with some at the end. Cut a little action,please. But otherwise this is a fine film and blast to experience. See it at least twice, I dare you.

My boyfirend was a little sceptical about watching this movie. I found it original, action packed & enjoyable with a good story line.

This film is amazing, I love it so much..Plus Ewan McGregor plays a double part so it was always going to be good..after reading all the reviews it got, I still wanted to see it and I am glad I did, the film really is one of the best films I have watched and is by far the best Bay film.

After all the critical reviews of this film, i was ready to be disappointed! But i found it to be one of the best action films i've seen in years! Infact it has some of the funniest clips, and the action is unbelievable but not unrealistic!! Well worth a trip to the cinema! I never knew two hours could fly by so fast! Ewan mcgregor is fantastic as lincoln!!
