Michael Bay's - The Island

[Jet Beetle]

So I woke up with a fever this morning and I've pretty much just beensinking deeper and deeper into my bed with nothing to do except watch movies. The funny thing about when a fever takes over my body is - it makes me a lot less critical of films and my drained strength may even cause me to like a few that I would have never even watched - Well, I just finished The Island - which I'd never seen and I must say - SCARLETT is FRICKIN HOT HOT HOT! in this movie. Oh My God - I mean, I'm always blown away by her - but she was sooooo perfect in some of these scenes that i had to turn off the movie to keep my fever from melting me into a puddle a mexican flan.

The movie wasn't that bad either - nothing great, but I liked that little Wasp motorcycle thing and Steve Bucemi is always a hoot. Say what you will about Bay - but I've always loved his photography and he cooked some of the stuff in this flick and made it awesome to behold -- yes, I'm talking about Scarlett again. DANG! I'm upset now. I'm going to kill Ryan Reynolds - I just need to catch him when that ring is low on power.

Agreed.
Movie's not terrible. Surprisingly enjoyable considering my general hatred of the Bay. Some of Orci/Kurtzman's better work, too. Again, not great, but surprisingly enjoyable.

And yes ... Scarlett ...

Hope you feel better! Fevers suck.

Oddly enough, that's one movie I never got around to
watching for some reason ??? :confused

Maye I'll have to add it to the Netflix list
just for laughs...

Never CAN go wrong with Scarlett though... :love

I honestly think the island is a very underrated movie, I enjoyed it very much when I first watched it.

 

[SVTStingRay]

too bad its a copy of another movie.

 

[Jet Beetle]

Yeah - it's pretty fun. The only thing that can keep you from not having a good time with it would be people's hatred of Bay - but I have to say, this isn't over Bayized like Transformers - and it figured Oci and Kurtzman hacky scent would be on this considering when the movie came out a hugh lawsuit was filed

Is Michael Bay's Big-Budget 'Island' Just A Clone Of An Earlier Film? - MTV Movie News| MTV

saying the movie was copied - and as I have seen Clonus Horror - All I can say is - Orci and Kurtzman really overworked Final Draft's cut and paste feature.

Lawsuits aside - see the movie, Scarlet will make you glad you did.

 

[teecrooz]

I really enjoyed the movie. Heck, I'd even watch it again.

The Island reminds me of how Logan's Run would be in todays filmaking.

 

[Wakeem]

Bay's best movie in the opening scenes. As soon as they leave The Island it turns into standard Bay garbage. Really unfortunate too.

 

[Rylo]

I was just goona say, didn't I see this the first time when it was called, Logan's Run?

The Island reminds me of how Logan's Run would be in todays filmaking.

 

[Risu]

I'll put up with all of Bay's other movies for that one. It was a decent trade.

 

[Solo4114]

This is the only way I want to watch that movie.

If they can get Mike (or Joel) and the bots back together to do a riffing session of The Island, I'm in. First riff: "This seems....strangely familiar...."

 

[Wes R]

They could get back together and make 2 seasons of just making fun of Bay's movies.

...SCARLETT is FRICKIN HOT HOT HOT! in this movie. Oh My God - I mean, I'm always blown away by her - but she was sooooo perfect in some of these scenes that i had to turn off the movie to keep my fever from melting me into a puddle a mexican flan.

I quite enjoyed this film as well. And in reference to SJ, I find (personally) that she is SO SO SO much more beautiful when she is made up to look "natural" (as opposed to dolled-up for the red carpet or something). Hence, her character in 'The Island' is my favorite SJ ever.

DANG! I'm upset now. I'm going to kill Ryan Reynolds - I just need to catch him when that ring is low on power.

Or clobber him with something YELLOW. :ninja

If you manage to grab the MST3K volume with Parts on it, it features a great interview with the director of the film. He discusses his experience making it and a very heart warming thanks to the misties out there who helped bring the attention of "The Island" ripping off his movie.

The day MST3K beat Michael Bay! :cool

 

[firesprite]

I also liked this movie.... but then again, I'm also in lust with Scarlett! It was pretty standard fare, but that's really all I was looking for. It's not like it's Ghosts of Mars or Battlefield Earth! :lol

 

[Westies14]

I haven't seen this in a long time, but my roommate/cousin-in-law's boyfriend was the janitor in this film. I think he helped them escape or something... I remember thinking the movie was "alright." I'll have to give it a watch again.

SCARLETT is FRICKIN HOT HOT HOT!

I don't believe you. Please post plenty of pictorial evidence to support your claim.

I love Michael Bay movies. I couldn't even tell you the plot of those two Transformer movies, but I loved them.
