The Island

We just got back from The Island (imdb | rotten tomatoes). It wasn’t the worst Michael Bay movie I’ve ever seen, but that’s like saying Daydream wasn’t the worst Mariah Carey album.

What I liked about the movie: Scarlett Johansson, Djimon Hounsou, the way they did Ewan McGregor’s split screen.

What I disliked: The ignorant little skanks sitting next to us. If it’s wrong to punch a girl, it’s definitely wrong to a teenage girl, so Nellie gave them dirty looks every 30 seconds. Oh, and I hate how Michael Bay makes every action sequence look like a music video. Keep a shot in the movie that lasts more than three seconds, Michael, I double-dog dare you.

It was a decent enough Friday night summertime flick, but let’s just say I won’t be pre-ordering this one on DVD.
