The Island – 2005, Michael Bay
The right people must like Michael Bay to let him make films in the first place, let alone to have continued after the box office flop that was The Island. I know it’s easy to rip it out of Michael Bay, but he is crap, especially when he does the ‘spin the camera around the actor’ bullshit.
So why did I watch The Island? ‘Cos I like Sci-Fi. And Sean Bean.
‘Gattica’ meets ‘Minority Report’ with more product placement than ‘I,Robot’. The whole story about clones raised to donate body parts was taken from a 1979 film and DreamWorks had to pay a million bucks after libel action was taken. There’s a good cast including Sean Bean as the bad guy and that moody looking black dude from ‘Blood Diamond’. Lots of nice sets and props, but still not really worth putting on your list.
Bad Trailer = Poor Box Office
