The Island: My two cents on the film

Well, it was long since my last time to a cinema but yesterday I took X along with two friends and we headed to Village Park to see 'The Island'. The movie is about a clinic where people are made to believe that this is the only non-contaminated place on earth and they are made to live according to strict rules, fully supervised. At the end of the day one lucky person has the chance to leave the clinic and travel to 'The Island'. But, are they really protected from environment contamination? Is there actually an Island or is it an excuse for something ulterior. Ewen Mc Gregor's and Scarlett Johansson's characters aim to solve the mistery and free themselves.

The movie is rather intersting (if you see behind the symbols of surveillance and mass deception) and has been created in the mood of a blockbuster (big similarities with AI) . The Island lasts something more than 2 hours but time flies through big chases and explosions. Actors do their best to promote their anxiety and critical thinking when there's a huge number of private detectives and policemen after them. The end is somehow expected and elaborated without big difficulties for the two main characters.

Final verdict: Worths its money to watch and definately easy to follow.
