The Island

Y'know, I don't even care if it's good. It has Ewan McGregor in white spandex, and Djimon Hounsou in...well, it doesn't even matter 'cause he looks good in everything.

Going to see it tonight - has anyone else seen it?

I saw it today, it was a very entertaining summer movie. I'd recommend it if you're looking for something exciting but not too intelligent.

I didn't think it was unintelligent. It wasn't as intelligent as it could've been (after all, it was a Michael Bay film), but I thought it handled the issue of clones and whether they're fully 'human' pretty well. I also liked the subtle touches of the movie the way certain character traits in Lincoln and Jordan matched their true ages. For example - when Lincoln was biting that guy (no spoilers here!), that's exactly how a three year old would react in a fight. And the reason Jordan's skin was so soft was because she was technically only four years old.

The movie was also a lot funnier than I thought it would be. And yes, I spent every minute that Ewan was on screen swooning. But what was with Djimon Hounsou? Why was he sweaty almost all of the time?
