The Island.....A Must SEE

I went to the movies for the first time in about 3 months this weekend. I had to choose my movie wisely. I decided on a movie called The Island. Man, did I make a great pick. I don't know if it was because I went by myself, or that I hadn't seen a movie in so long or what. But I LOVED this movie. It is a must see. I don't care what the critics say, it was a great flick. I never really cared what the critics said before, but now I really shun their nonsense opinions. Go see this movie. If you liked the Matrix, Logan's Run, or any other futuristic Sci-Fi thriller, you have to see The Island. Ewan, couldn't be any more convincing, Johansson couldn't be any more cute and innocent, but still quite vicious when she has to be. A true master piece. I give it a thumbs up. Let me know what you think.

I would have loved to see it except I took my daughter to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory instead.

hey, it isn't too late. what ever you do, don't read any of the reviews. it is better if you don't know anything about the plot at all.

Yeah I won’t- I usually don't read the back of DVDs before I buy or rent them. The trailer was a bit of a spoiler. Everyone who has seen it has recommended it.

ok, now it is your duty to go out and watch it. I just hope the trailer didn't spoil it too much. I didn't have a clue what it was about except that it was in the future. I loved it!! i saw it twice, and on my budget that is a big deal!

WHOA- that is such a big deal. I haven't seen a movie twice (In the theater) since the Titanic.

I remember sitting there, as the ship was about to smack the Iceberg, holding my breath and thinking: "Are they going to make it?" Um...DUH Kaysea!!

I really liked 'The Butterfly Effect', 'Identity', and 'The Sixth Day' (The Sixth Day being the one that reminded me of the Island trailer) I can't wait to see it. I will make a date with myself. I just hope it isn’t lost in that transitional phase in-between Theater and DVD.

yeah, it would be best to see this one in the theaters, Micheal Bay's movies are all like that. DVD is ok, but the sound and visuals of a theater are unmatchable. I never saw the Butterfly effect, though i wanted to (i don't watch rated R movies). It looked pretty cool. I think the island DVD will be on my list.
I got a best buy gift card for my birthday and got a Queen DVD live at Wimbley!! man, they rock!!

I hear IMAX theaters are better than anything. (I have never been to one, so I don't know)
