caught the movie "the island" starring Ewan McGregor & Scarlett Johansson @ orchard cineleisure with my colleague, marilyn.a very interesting take of what can happen in the future when ethics and morality are thrown out of the window... a future where humans are cloned for harvesting of their body parts & organs.
scary & disturbing, isn't it?
lincoln six echo [played by ewan mcgregor] discovers that the lucky winners of the lottery, are not relocated to THE island, the only non-contaminated place in a post-apocalyptic earth, but instead they're being killed or had their organs removed for transplant to their sponsors.
the clones are products, they're all insurance policies costing $5 million each.
housed in a facility dressed in cool white uniforms & puma shoes in an alternate reality where the genders are separated and all parts of their lives are regulated and watched over, right down to what they can have for breakfast based on their current health report.
the wham-bam action starts when lincoln six echo escapes with jordan two delta and race against time to avoid capture to try to meet their sponsors hoping to expose the illegal cloning of humans at the facility.
lots of explosive action scenes complimentary of the big budget.
my rating? 4 out of 5.
cool!
