2019. Lincoln Six-Echo rent voor zijn leven, een leven waar hij niets van af weet. De gezaghebbers van de strengbewaakte instelling waar hij voor zijn veiligheid verbleef, hadden gezegd dat hij ooit in een paradijs zou leven, het laatste bewoonbare plekje op aarde. Maar alles wat ze zeiden was een leugen. Samen met Jordan Two-Delta, zullen ze in een totaal onbekende buitenwereld op de loop moeten gaan voor hun dodelijke achtervolgers.
Where to Watch The Island
- Zokkiie7 dgn geledenPretty fun sci-fi thriller that I think gets overlooked a bit. The clone concept is really interesting, and the first half does a great job building the mystery and slowly revealing what's actually going on. Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson are both good, and there's some really solid action once everything kicks off. The third act is definitely the weak point, though. It turns into a pretty standard Michael Bay action movie, gets way too loud and over-the-top, and the story starts getting a bit silly. It's also longer than it needs to be, but I still think there's enough good stuff here to make it a pretty enjoyable sci-fi flick.
- Razorbitz29 november 2025I watched this on one of those travel buses with the dinky little dvd players in them back in the mid 2000s and I thought it was the greatest movie ever. All I remembered was there were clones and ScarJo. I would say the first half of this movie is a pretty decent sci-fi set up and second half is a Michael Bay film. That's because this is a Michael Bay film. You can tell because of the explosions. It's alright.
- Carter20 januari 2026The Island wastes it’s potential of being a very cool thriller. The film has a really cool premise that sets up a lot but doesn’t follow through with it. The performances are fine same with the characters. There is plenty of Micheal Bay action here that of course is really over the top. The film does have some absurd dialogue that does not match the tone of the film. Overall the movie is a fine that had potential to be a really cool movie, but doesn’t succeed your expectations.
- gosso_5 september 2025This is a one of the best advertisements for everything packed into one movie! Rumours are product placements helped fun 60% of this movie and it’s a bit distracting. However it’s an alright movie for Michael Bay, there are better ones out there, watch Bad Boys if you’re undecided.
- CharlotteCOSMIC9 juli 2025Cinematically, fine. Story basis, tacky and patchy. *spoiler alert* Such as, if there was the technology to form an entire human body from scratch, then there would already be a way to just form an organ instead. And also, surely a clone would also be affected with the same ailments as the sick client, thus totally pointless. And if that read as too far fetched, then if the possibility of the clone gaining memory the clone never experienced that would also mean the possibility of gaining the same sickness as the affected client (in the realms of sci-fi logistics of 'anything being possible' then that means anything). But might want to skip over the part that a guy prized his 1/2million car over a 5million clone of himself 😅 weird.
