Review: The Island

Michael Bay takes his crash, slam, bang frenzied filmmaking and applies it to Logan’s Run.

Okay, it’s not quite that useless, but if I’m falling asleep during action sequences you know there are too many action sequences. Seriously. I didn’t think I’d ever say that, but he drove me to it.

And what the heck was with that big “R” logo scene. That was the breaking point for me. If they come out of that alive, let alone unscratched, you know they are in no danger whatsoever, physics means nothing, and you just need someone to nudge you when the next plot point comes up in about 5 or 10 minutes. That point may be only about 2 minutes long though, so you’ll get plenty of rest watching this thing.

It’s a shame, because I really like the concept. I just couldn’t fathom why it wasn’t about an hour shorter.

A dearth of special features, as well, made this one disappointing DVD.
