Wonderful character development!

The Age of Commercialism

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Never heard or seen it tell now. Pretty good I'd say. Kinda like the Matrix, little like Total Recall too. It's worth the watch.

A man living in a futuristic sterile colony begins to question his circumscribed existence when his friend is chosen to go to the Island, the last uncontaminated place on earth. The Island might actually be one of Bay's most underrated projects and even tho it takes inspiration from Total Recall and other science fiction movies it does things on it's own Bayform way with some terrific action sequences (like the scene in the bridge) and 2 terrific performances from Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor and once again Sean Bean as the villain which is a good things as always. The cgi and the effects in general are superb and there's a lot of suspense and a good overall concept and i wish that some people left their vendetta with Michael Bay sometimes and actually realized that not all of his movies are terrible as they might think they are. (A+)

I couldn't remember any Ewan McGregor movies. I liked him in Fargo so I thought I'd check out a few more. And ironically another one with a dual role.Great film. It is somewhere in between the Matrix, Equilibrium and some of the writers own ideas, but aside from some weird holes in the plot (why isn't 'the product' better secured?) the film is really fun to watch.And, most importantly: Sean Bean's character dies :) I can't think of a single movie or TV show that his character survives. He must be fun to kill.

The lead actor, the main character, IS GREAT. You can empethise with him, his actions make sense and overall he is very like-able.ON THE OTHER HAND. We have Scarlet's character. Unlikable, annoying, isn't really adding ANYTHING to the plot. Hell, her acting is so freaking bad... Which is surprising. When I saw her name in the title (In our TV we sometimes see "featuring: x" so it can intrigue people with their fav actors), I thought "Hey, this might be a good movie. Is she the main character? I hope so!" And then bleehh. She was a support, and a bad one while we are at it.If they just had picked a different actor, the movie could have been so much better. This movie deserves 8 AT LEAST. She made me want to rate it 6 but it's too harsh. Now, for the plot. I won't give in too much of it- It's just good. Hell, it's an adaptation from a book, and if the movie's plot is that good, just imagine how good the book is! Very recommended movie (if you can bear Scarlet's acting)
