Default The Island

i personally thought it was a pretty good movie, TONS pof action, hella destruction.
they are always on the run and of course scarlett johanason was hawt as hell.
i few things i didnt like, was some thing didnt make sesne or felt incomplete. for example: the main character sees the president on TV when he is in the real world and remembers seeing the clone when he was back in clone land....i didnt remember seeing the clone of the prez nor did my friend either.

otherwise, great ass movie, might go download it 4.5/5

Looks like the director went to the Jerry Bruckheimer school of directing.

I can pass until it hits video.

exactly why I will wait.

Intro has a fast flyby follwed by a shrap view down the city or a fly through the city using off angles on the camera. Lots of large explosions and chase cam work. Harsh cutaways during dialog between characters.

It's all formulaic and it doesn't ever change.
