The Island
Thanks to the “DVD Jon” blog I saw the HD trailer of The Island. And yesterday evening I saw the movie. Let’s say that it’s not history (like most of the movies nowadays) but it gets 6 out ot 10 so it’s worth seeing for a trouble-free evening.
The plot isn’t original and, of course, I agree with the IMDB forum where it points out that at least 3 movies came before TI and not bad movies: THX 1138, Logan’s run and The Clonus Horror (not viewed so far). Of course it pays watching also The Matrix but… who hasn’t ?
Maybe the main dislike of the movie is that it’s aimed at entertaining people and not THINK about the real problem of using clones to heal our wounds (in Italy we recently had a referendum also on this).
This reminds me of the main difference between the original Planet of the Apes versus the sad remake (and what about the Rollerball duo ? the original one is a little bit slow and could be better directed at the end but it’s way ahead).
