Lincoln Six-Echo (McGregor) is a resident of a seemingly utopian but contained facility in the mid 21st century. Like all of the inhabitants of this carefully controlled environment, Lincoln hopes to be chosen to go to the "The Island" - reportedly the last uncontaminated spot on the planet. But Lincoln soon discovers that everything about his existence is a lie. He and all of the other inhabitants of the facility are actually human clones whose only purpose is to provide "spare parts" for their original human counterparts. Realizing it is only a matter of time before he is "harvested," Lincoln makes a daring escape with a beautiful fellow resident named Jordan Two-Delta (Johansson). Relentlessly pursued by the forces of the sinister institute that once housed them, Lincoln and Jordan engage in a race for their lives to literally meet their makers.

I watched the trailer, and I thought it was a shameless give away of the plot. When they reveal the films largest plot twist for commercial purposes you just know It'll be bad.

I think this is one of the few new movies based on original ideas .
uh, barely slightly almost sort of original-ish. original ain't the first word that comes to my mind. however, for the level it is aiming for (not-very-original sci-fi action flick with some car chases and junk) it succeeds pretty darn well. i found it more satisfying than, say, "i robot" (story was too thin) or "the matrix reloaded" (story got bogged down by complicated mumbo-jumbo). the island is one of those movies that goes to pretty much the same old places, but it finds a good balance between story and action, which is where a lot of other sci-fi action movies normally trip & fall down.

a lot of people on the internet complain like michael bay (director of the island) is the anti-christ or sumthin', because he's unoriginal and doesn't have great artistic ambitions. but still he's pretty skilled at what he does ("drive fast and blow shit up" no-brainers). i mean, put bay's work (the rock, bad boys, the island) next to someone like rob cohen (the fast & the furious, xXx, stealth)... two current directors who work with almost the exact same vocabulary, and cohen's stuff looks totally incompetent in comparison.
