  • Summary: Lincoln Six-Echo (McGregor) is a resident of a seemingly utopian but contained facility in the mid-21st century. Like all the inhabitants of this carefully constructed environment, Lincoln hopes to be chosen to go to "The Island" -- reportedly the last uncontaminated spot on the plant -- until he makes a terrible discovery that everything about his existence is a lie.

    The Island runs 136 minutes, but that's not long for a double feature. The first half of Michael Bay's new film is a spare, creepy science fiction parable, and then it shifts into a high-tech action picture. Both halves work.

    Like its slack-jawed clones, The Island is full of energy and incredibly pretty but burdened with only the minimum of smarts.

    A borrowed idea -- hello, "Blade Runner," hi there, "Matrix" -- but an idea nonetheless.

    Amazing Movie, It has action, love, humor, and conspiracy all mixed into one. Definitely a good one.

  2. Its always the same thing for Michael Bay; the picture's big, but the result is small. "The Island" is no better.
