Product Description

From Amazon.com

When you add up all the best things about The Island, you might just conclude that there's hope yet for Hollywood's most critically reviled hit-maker, Michael Bay. Recruited by Steven Spielberg to direct this lavish and often breathtaking sci-fi action thriller, Bay rises to the occasion with an ambitious production that is, by his standards (and compared to Bay's earlier hits like The Rock and Armageddon), surprisingly intelligent as it explores the repercussions of cloning in a sealed-off society where humans are cultivated for spare parts, surrogate parenthood, and full-body replacements for wealthy clientele. But when two of the clones (Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johanssen) begin to question their fate and the motives of their keepers, they escape into the real world and The Island becomes just another Michael Bay action extravaganza, albeit an impressively exciting one. With elaborate chase scenes and a high-tech feast of CGI to dazzle the eye, The Island recycles much of the plot from 1979's Clonus while borrowing elements from Logan's Run, Gattaca and Minority Report, and while it's not as smartly conceived as those earlier films, there's no denying that, in many ways, it's Bay's best film to date. --Jeff Shannon

1.0 out of 5 stars Good movie but disappointing DVD, Dec 19 2005

This review is from: The Island (Widescreen) (DVD)
I enjoyed this movie in the theatres, but the english soundtrack on this DVD is only Dolby Digital 2.0, while the French soundtrack is 5.1. Of course now that I've opened the package, the store that I bought it from won't even let me return the disc for a refund.

1.0 out of 5 stars Soundtrack issues?, Dec 17 2005
This review is from: The Island (Widescreen) (DVD)
This isn't a review, but rather a cautionary note: I just rented this DVD at my local shop (Queen West Video) and there was something odd with the soundtrack - Soundtrack 1 was French 5.1, and Soundtrack 2 was Englich 2.1... No 5.1 English soundtrack. The store said this was the regular release of the movie... so I would be careful picking this up. I mean, what is the point of a Michael Bay movie if you aren't listening to it in full surround!?!?

1.0 out of 5 stars Missing English 5.1!!!!! Do not support Dreamworks by buying, Dec 19 2005
By 
Stephen "Podhi" Burke (Earth) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Island (Widescreen) (DVD)
Please don't support Dreamworks by buying this DVD. It is a production error and it looks like they may be replacing the DVD with a cover to suggest that English 2.0 is the way the DVD was intended to be distibuted. We all know that's a total farce and that THEY screwed up by nbot including the English 5.1 audio on this DVD,
Make sure you tell your local Blockcuster, Future Shop and Best Buy and do yourself a favour if you want this movie - order it from Amazon.com or go to the US and buy it.
Canada has been ripped off here and we shouldn't stand for it.
