Saw The Island last nite - Page 2

Megbert · 07-13-2005, 01:29 PM

It's big, loud and chock full of chase scenes. It looks like a music video/fashion spread.

The surface has been contaminated and the survivors are forced to live in this enormous underground complex run by none other that Borimir from the Lord of the Rings. Or so they have been told. The only place on the surface is safe is 'The Island' and the undground dwellers have a chance to go to The Island through seemingly random Lottery.

Lincoln Echo Six (Mcgregor) starts to ponder why they live the way they do. Basically everything they do is monitored and he wants to know why. he asks questions like why can't I have bacon when I want? Why can't I have any other clothes besides the white 'uniforms' everyone but the 'guards' are wearing? Why are we really underground? Well this is troubling to Sean Beans character. Later in the movie we find out why - hint the lottery is rather sinister and well the island itself isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Anyway Lincoln discovers the truth to some extent and takes off with Johansens character to discover the whole truth about the island and the outside world.

I didn't buy the whole 'smart' Michael Bay movie as it's being touted but if you want lotsa big, loud, action, then this is the movie for you.

You're right.... in the Arctic there is the chance they'll be frozen in ice... only to be thawed 100+ years from now, where they'll start spewing forth even more shit films.

Oh and to clarify I didn't pay for this 'movie'. Well I did lose 2 hours of my life, so in a way I did pay - DAMN YOU TO HELL MICHAEL BAY!!!!

I actually like Michael Bay films. Sure, his movies are dumb but they are damn entertaining, great to look at and the man knows how to direct action. Most of Pearl Harbor sucked, but you have to admit that 40 minute sustained action scene of Pearl harbor being bombed might have been one of the best action scenes ever committed to film. Plus, Bad Boys, Bad Boys 2, Armegeddon and The Rock are all guilty pleasures of mine.

I forgot to add that 50+ years in the future everyone drives Dodge Magnums, Chrysler 300's, Hummers, Crossfires, Chevy SS trucks and so on. Lots and lots of product placement too: MSN, Apple, Aquafina, all the cars mentioned, Johnny Rockets - just to name a few.
