The Island
August 14th, 2005
Filed Under: Reviews, movies

In my attempt to be brief I shall bullet my review as follows:
- Very kool visuals. Basically it’s Spike Jones makes the Matrix.
- Old Orwellian concept, doesn’t really offer any new or provocative insights. Kinda like 6th Day in substance.
- Too much product placement, especially with that MSN search crap….it took all my super strength not to barf on the midget-snot-twirler sitting on my right.
- Ewan McGeggor is awesome, even when he’s doing flicks just to pad the $ta$h.
- Needless to say Scarlett Johanson is hot….but can she really act!?
- Futuristic L.A. traffic is even scarier than it’s current traffic…and that’s pretty damn scary in itself.
- The obligatory love scene had me submarining in laughter.
- Dijimon Houson always looked like he was sweating, but he was the HNIC and that was sweet.
2 STARS out of four.
