THE ISLAND (2005)

See Your Review

How disappointing & predictable. The entire premise was cloned from a story about clones. Instead of Logan 5, the hero's name is Lincoln Six Echo. In "Logan's Run", Jenny Agutter played Jessica 6. Scarlett Johannson's character is Jordan Two Delta. Oh yeah, Richard "Jordan" was the antagonist in Logan's Run. Coincidence or plagiarism? Logan & Jessica were destined for "renewal". After "decontamination", Lincoln 6E & Jordan 2D were promised life on "The Island". in the predictable finale, the destruction of the underground complex & subsequent exodus scenes were almost identical to "Logan's Run". Frankly, I do not recall so many car crashes in a Sci-fi thriller. They were obviously miniaturized. The Island" is an embarrassing blotch on McGregor's & Johansson's otherwise stellar resumes.
