The Island

  • Ewan McGregor …. Lincoln Six Echo/Tom Lincoln
  • Scarlett Johansson …. Jordan Two Delta/Sarah Jordan
  • Djimon Hounsou …. Albert Laurent
  • Sean Bean …. Merrick
  • Steve Buscemi …. McCord

This could have been a really interesting film, a proper sci-fi film that raises questions, that asks about society and what we believe in.
Opening with Lincoln Six Echo on a boat, this film looks fantastic. Glossy, bright, cinematic and impressive, but everything that is good about this film is limited to the surface, but what else did I expect from a Michael Bay film?

Okay, the plot revolves around Dick, who seems to have no friends at all and who lives in a small, nameless town in America that is totally centred on working in the mine. He buys a toy gun as a present for someone he doesn’t like, but doesn’t give it to him. Eventually he discovers that the gun isn’t a toy at all, its real. He falls pretty much in love with this gun, names it Wendy, and forms a type of gang; The Dandies, who are pacifists although they do love their weapons.

Obviously, things do not work out well.
