About this product

Product Information

In this thriller from director Michael Bay (PEARL HARBOR, ARMAGEDDON), survivors of global contamination live in a sterile, self-contained world where their every move is monitored. The rules are easy: be pleasant, refrain from asking questions, and don't rock the boat. Everything they need is provided for them, from the white uniforms that magically appear in their closets, to their customized cafeteria-style meals. The survivors all eagerly await their big payoff: winning the lottery and being sent to The Island, the only remaining untainted land in the world. But Lincoln Six-Echo (Ewan McGregor) yearns for more from his life and begins to wonder what really lies outside the thick walls. When his best friend, Jordan Two-Delta (Scarlett Johansson), wins the lottery, he knows that he has to find out the truth about their world before she departs. What he finds is terrifying enough to send Lincoln and Jordan fleeing from the facility to the real world where they quickly discover that they are clones, and that both The Island and global contamination are a ruse. The clones sole purpose is to be harvested for replacement parts when their sponsors need them. With his business now in jeopardy, Dr. Merrick (Sean Bean), the founder of the cloning company, hires a crack team led by Albert Laurent (Djimon Hounsou) to track down his escaped product. Wild chase scenes through Los Angeles circa 2050 are punctuated by high-tech transportation as Lincoln and Jordan run for their lives and try to assimilate into a world that is completely foreign to them. The futuristic set design and visual effects are particularly impressive. McGregor and Johansson both expertly communicate the human element and desire for life that has developed in the two clones, while still finding humor and awe in their childlike naivety.

  • Exciting and Entertaining

    I gave it one more star than Roger Ebert, I thoroughly enjoyed it enough to buy a copy for my home library. Of the various Ewan McGregor movies I have seen this is my favorite. He fits the role perfectly. The movie actually seems like it should be a double-feature. The second half of the movie his high-tech and action-packed. The first half being like a creepy science movie like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". I've seen the movie about 4 times and usually I don't like repeat watching. Each time I watch it's still entertaining.

  • There is no Island

    Time 2019. So this video dates itself. The premise is believable. Clones for spare human parts. It is somewhat similar to the Matrix. Humans are breed to be identical and are called products. Very suspenseful. Action too. 9 out of 10,
