The Island Summary Blockbuster Action Director Michael Bay Delivers A Striking Look At A Strange World Of The Future In This Sci-fi Action Drama. Midway Through The 21st Century, Lincoln Six Echo (ewan Mcgregor) Lives In A Confined Indoor Community After Ongoing Abuse Of The Earth Has Rendered Most Of The Planet Uninhabitable. One Of The Only Places In The Outside World Still Capable Of Sustaining Life Is An Idyllic Island Where Citizens Are Chosen To Live Through A Lottery. Or At Least That's What Lincoln And His Fellow Citizens Are Taught To Believe; The Truth Is That Lincoln, Like Everyone He Knows, Is Actually A Clone Who Is Kept Under Wraps To Provide Needed Organs When The Person Who Supplied His Or Her Dna Falls Ill. When He Becomes Aware That His Existence Is A Fraud, Lincoln Escapes To The Outside World With A Fellow Clone, Jordan Two Delta (scarlett Johansson), Though The Powers That Be Are Determined To See That No One Gets Away Alive. the Island Also Stars Steve Buscemi, Djimon Hounsou, Michael Clarke Duncan, And Sean Bean.

When you add up all the best things about The Island, you might just conclude that there's hope yet for Hollywood's most critically reviled hit-maker, Michael Bay. Recruited by Steven Spielberg to direct this lavish and often breathtaking sci-fi action thriller, Bay rises to the occasion with an ambitious production that is, by his standards (and compared to Bay's earlier hits like The Rock and Armageddon), surprisingly intelligent as it explores the repercussions of cloning in a sealed-off society where humans are cultivated for spare parts, surrogate parenthood, and full-body replacements for wealthy clientele. But when two of the clones (Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johanssen) begin to question their fate and the motives of their keepers, they escape into the real world and The Island becomes just another Michael Bay action extravaganza, albeit an impressively exciting one. With elaborate chase scenes and a high-tech feast of CGI to dazzle the eye, The Island recycles much of the plot from 1979's Clonus while borrowing elements from Logan's Run, Gattaca and Minority Report, and while it's not as smartly conceived as those earlier films, there's no denying that, in many ways, it's Bay's best film to date. --Jeff Shannon
