Review of The Island (2005) by Hotelcentral — 08 Feb 2018

This is a fairly conventional action flick which relies on a flimsy rationale to explain why a bunch of clones, created to provide spare parts, have to be allowed to achieve consciousness (and be kept in a scifi enclosure where their behavior is monitored and manipulated): if the clones aren't allowed to live and breath like ordinary people the organs harvested from the clones fail after being transplanted into the people paying for new organs.

It's obvious baloney. And there's a lot more baloney in the film. But if you're able to switch off your brain and go along for the ride then by all means have a nice time. I personally couldn't wait for it to be over.
