The Island

• Directed by Michael Bay
• Starring Scarlett Johansson, Ewan McGregor
• A story about human clones making a daring escape from the utopian-like facility to the outside world. Full of thrilling action set-pieces as expected from a film by Michael Bay. Unfortunately, the film is also influenced by Bay's other less desirable trademarks, including dumbed-down plots and unbearably sappy ending. Still, the film works well enough if not taken too seriously.
