Review of The Island

The Island (2005)
7/10
Mediocrity at its FINEST
7 April 2013
Before watching this movie, I had a quite high expectations for this movie. And guess what? I ended up quite disappointed. This movie has great special effects and CGIs. Well actually, the first 1 and a half hour of this movie was really good, but then it fell apart and became just a mediocre sci-fi-action movie.

For me, one of the biggest problems about this movie is the character development. Scarlett and Ewan's chemistry is actually not that bad, but they barely show such emotions. This movie had a GREAT potential, especially if they had showed the character developments a bit more. This movie is too focused on the action, and forgot about character developments and humors.

If you were looking for an full action packed movie with mediocre story and great CGI, it's the absolute right movie. But don't expect it to make you feel the emotions of this movie, this movie won't make you cry or laugh or even give you goosebumps. And in spite of all the thing I've written, I still think it's one of Michael Bay's best movies.
