In 2019, Lincoln Six-Echo is a resident of a seemingly "Utopian" but contained facility. Like all of the inhabitants of this carefully-controlled environment, Lincoln hopes to be chosen to go to The Island — reportedly the last uncontaminated location on the planet. But Lincoln soon discovers that everything about his existence is a lie.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
hg-75472 I dont understand how it can be 6/10. Its very underrated. The music harmonizes perfectly with the film.
cedricmyrsky Watched this movie quite a few times just for the atmosphere of it. It just worked for me.
Andreas Zeller 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.
inspectors71 This was a big movie, I think, 11 years ago. I saw it a year later. I remember The Island being fairly standard sci-fi fare, with human parts or something being grown for sick people.Or something.We get to see Scarlett Johansson get athletic. There are special effects. It's a dystopian future. Ewan McGregor looks irritated.In other words. We've seen all of this before and we will see it again. Different shapely actress in something spandexish. Similar dystopia. Synonymous actor looking grim. The CGI will have gotten better.In other words, if you missed The Island, just wait. You'll see its first cousin eventually, and remember . . . Soylent Green is people!
