Havoc's Movie Recommendation: The Island

[Havoc]

I have been watching The Island yesterday night, and I must say it's awsome. For one, it's from the director of Armageddon and Bad Boys, which is always good. But the story is very very good as well.
While watching the movie it reminded me of two game series in particular. Oddworld and Half Life. Why you may ask?
Well, the story starts out with a guy, living his life, thinking he has it all good without knowing what is realy going on. Slowly he starts to find out, and when he does he has to make a run for his life. That, in a lot of ways, reminded me of Abe's Oddysee. And as soon as he gets out the Half Life bit starts.
The guy escaped, but nor him, nor you as a viewer barely has an understanding of what is going on. Trough the course of the movie, you find out what the corperation he was held at is all about.

I'm going to refrain from posting stuff about the story, except that it's kind of science fiction. Not to much though, it's a very nice mix of science fiction and your average everyday action movie.

I recommend this movie to everyone. Rent it, buy it, watch it, because it's a very awsome movie.

[Biggy Bro Slig]

Hehe...I watched it in cinemas. It was great.
I follow Havoc's advice. You must buy this. If not, you are a boring loser who can't be bothered to spend some money.

[Mojo]

What if I haven't got any money? Or a DVD-player? Or a TV? Or a house even! What if I lived in a bikeshed? AARGH!

Maybe I can get some friend to rent it...

[Biggy Bro Slig]

Then earn some at least! You must buy it!

The Island is a small pile of faeces.

For one, it is a direct rip off from Logans Run. For two, the entire story is given away in the trailer.

So erm.

[Havoc]

A rip off doesn't automaticly make the movie bad. If that was the case then Hollywood wouldn't exist.

I didn't see the trailer, but if it gave away the story the person who made the trailer should be fired >_>.

[OANST]

I'm going to have to agree with Supermunch. I'm going to pass on this one.

p.s. It was a Twilight zone episode well before Logan's Run.

p.p.s. And don't forget Soilent Green.

p.p.p.s. Armageddon and Bad Boys both sucked.

[Paramite Mask]

To me, from what I've seen so far, it seems like a mix of Soilent Green, the matrix, Logan's run, Soilent Green, Hlaf Life, and the basic storyline for AO. I'll probably rent it tonight. P.s: OANST, do you know the name of the Twilight Zone episode, because I could find it in my complete episode guide. Wait, is it about the one about that guy which is sentenced to death for believing in the Bible in the future, similar to the Big Brother Corperation type future?

[OANST]

It may have been outer limits. The old outer limits. I can't remember which it is.

[Abeguy]

I personally loved that movie, the end was awesome, the characters, knowable, the virtual Xbox, awesome. That movie will leave a mark in me and I'll never forget it.

...

what are we talking about again?

[outlaw king]

My recommendation of the week : " The boob cage " Ive never actually seen it , but I snuck into the porno section at the video store once and the cover looked sweeet.

I also recommend " curse of the cannibal confederates " or " evil surf nazis must die " For these are the two crappest movies in the whole existence thingy .

Search around for the trailer. You'll know exactly what I mean.

Um.. what does a cheap porno movie and an absolute crap film have to do with the conversation surrounding Havoc's reccomedation of The Island? Ugh........ I really need to stop pointing stuff out -_-

[outlaw king]

Just watched the island , Its pretty darn good!

[Slaveless]

Is this the movie about a clone? I'm just curious.. Saw a review about a recent clone movie... Wasn't pretty...

[Havoc]

It's about clones yea, but I dunno if it's the one you saw :P. The Island is a darn good movie so I don't think it would get a bad review. And if it did I would like to know what they said.

Don't send sublimal messages, biggy

But really, I'm going to watch The Island. It looks like a cool movie. I don't think the plot will be that good, but the effects look nice.

[Paramite Mask]

I read the completely give - away summary on IMDB, and I'm really phyced to watch it. The plot is very much appealing to me. Hey, Havoc, was the acting ok, because clone-ish movies like this can be mucked up by the sub par acting.( Matrix Revolutions, Logan's Run) None the less, I must see it! Oh yeah, isn't Steve Buscemi in it?

[outlaw king]

I LIKEd the island , BOOtloads of BlaSting effects , AND there the closet thing to SEX ive ever seen!

[Havoc]

Please excuse me while I laugh at you...

Haha!

@ Paramite: Yea the acting was good. But it's a good set of actors, so you can't realy go wrong .

[Nate]

It's about clones yea, but I dunno if it's the one you saw :P. The Island is a darn good movie so I don't think it would get a bad review. And if it did I would like to know what they said.

I read plenty of bad reviews for it; that's why I never bothered to watch it.

Rotten Tomatoes gave it 5.2/10.

[Havoc]

Puh, these people have no taste XD. A lot of those reviews merely burned it to the ground because it was a remake... if thats all their basing their judgement on =/. Ah well, I thought it was an awsome movie anyway.

[OANST]

They didn't dislike it because it was a remake. They disliked it because it was a ripoff. And a bad one.

[Abeguy]

Outlaw, king, I'm now grabbing my dads deer gun and asking the natives where you live. *grabs a hat* "around here, they calls me, Stranger"

[outlaw king]

Argh! Seeing that you are my nemisis , I take that as a CHALLENGE OF DEATHNESS! ( I invented that ) * grabs thompson machine gun , and fedora * Theys call me ......stranger killer.

[Havoc]

The hell? Stop spamming my thread you twats O.o.

[Abeguy]

Sorry *hits Outlaw king* thanx alot, you twit, got me in trouble with the havoc
No really, The Island Rocks, and anyone who thinks otherwise can taste my gun and cool hat.
and as for Outlaw kings obsession with porn and crap like that, all I can say is Poor soul and put it somewhere else. This is a family place.

[oddguy]

I bought it on DVD when it came out...watched it...loved it.
I mean, this movie has Ewan McGregor and Sean Bean...both exceptional actors.


*SPOILER*(even though it was seen it the trailer)
