Synopsis:

Set in a dystopian future, a group of people work in a facility, essentially as slaves. They do have an incentive though - a regular lottery is held and one of them gets to leave the facility and its restrictions and move to The Island, a paradise. Lincoln Six Echo is one of the workers in the facility and he is infatuated with Jordan Two Delta. His life is fairly uneventful and mundane until Jordan Two Delta gets selected to go to The Island. Then Lincoln starts to discover the truth about the facility and The Island. —grantss

*shrug* Worked for me

As big action-blockbusters go, "The Island" isn't bad, and deserves a better life on video than it had at the box office. I'd hardly call it great, but like all good science fiction, it has it's basis in ideas, and this movie holds to its ideas well."The Island" is reasonably entertaining, with some fun (if over-the-top) action sequences, and the production design has some interesting ideas of how we'll live in the future (hint: a LOT of us will apparently be driving Chrysler 300's, especially the police). The "value of life" argument is developed reasonably well, and the characters manage to hold your attention.Bear in mind that Micheal Bay directed "Armageddon". I might not be saying that much, but "The Island" really is better.
