Review of The Island (2005) by Mattf — 14 Mar 2007

First off: I saw this movie mainly because of Scarlett Johansson, and partially because the story sounded compelling. In both ways the film didn't disappoint. The main issue I had was that just about everything in the movie, from start to finish, seemed forced; including the acting, the plot, and especially the action.

However, it had a nice concept and it entertained pretty well. It's just unfortunate that it's intellectual potential wasn't really met.
