In 2019, Lincoln Six-Echo is a resident of a seemingly "Utopian" but contained facility. Like all of the inhabitants of this carefully-controlled environment, Lincoln hopes to be chosen to go to The Island — reportedly the last uncontaminated location on the planet. But Lincoln soon discovers that everything about his existence is a lie.

Really just a high budget remake of Parts: The Clonus Horror, the cast makes this work. Action packed, with some missing bits of logic, I could easily see a bunch of rich humps running a secret facility full of their clones to keep them alive through organ transplants. It's fun to watch, just don't expect much in the way of logic.

This had several of my favorite actors in it so I am not sure why I have only just got around to watching it. Perhaps it may have been as simple as the name did not draw me to it. I did see a lot of parallels with one of my all time favorites - Logans Run however. The subject matter was very rich and the story line was nearly there, it just left me wanting a little more. My feel was that it was an OK movie, just that it could have been great. A remake would be interesting with just a few enhancements to the story and a change of name delivering the goods.

I couldn't remember any Ewan McGregor movies. I liked him in Fargo so I thought I'd check out a few more. And ironically another one with a dual role.Great film. It is somewhere in between the Matrix, Equilibrium and some of the writers own ideas, but aside from some weird holes in the plot (why isn't 'the product' better secured?) the film is really fun to watch.And, most importantly: Sean Bean's character dies :) I can't think of a single movie or TV show that his character survives. He must be fun to kill.

Fantastic work of SCI-FI MYSTERY and DRAMA and of course, the gorgeous, funny, and lovely Scarlet Johansenn! Gets a 10 from me because it deserves it.It is on my list of favorite movies (so any on that list deserve 10's of course). PLUS, the meager 6.9 is a gross underrating!Critics these days...This movie has it all, action, adventure, special effects, practical effects, great costume work... intriguing and new *(at the time) plot. A great movie worth re-watching!
