   Jul 21, 2005 · “The Island” runs 136 minutes, but that’s not long for a double feature. The first half of Michael Bay’s new film is a spare, creepy science fiction parable, and then it shifts into a high-tech action picture.

   A cross between ‘70s sci-fi thrillers Logan’s Run and Coma, The Island had the potential to be a great think piece that posed serious philosophical questions about medical ethics and what it means to be human. So who thought to ask Michael Bay, he of the exploding everything, to direct this movie?

   Overlooked Movies: The Island (2005) Recommendation. Out of all the movies in Michael Bay's filmography, The Island is a movie not many people seem to talk about. It was the last movie Bay released before Transformers and was probably overshadowed by that franchise.

   A clone of THX 1183, Coma, and Logan's Run, The Island is another loud and bombastic Michael Bay movie where explosions and chases matter more than characters, dialogue, or plot. Read Critics...

   Is 'the island' a good movie?

   • Lincoln Six-Echo: Right. mmm. As big action-blockbusters go, "The Island" isn't bad, and deserves a better life on video than it had at the box office. I'd hardly call it great, but like all good science fiction, it has it's basis in ideas, and this movie holds to its ideas well.

   Is there an island in 'the island' based on a true story?

   • "There is no island," he breathlessly tells his friend Jordan Two Delta (Scarlett Johansson), as they prepare to flee. "Trust me." And what choice do we have? We've paid our money to see a picture called "The Island" (which begins with a picture of a really nice-looking island), and now they tell us that there is no island.

   Why did you like 'the island' so much?

   • A fun ride.... I liked "The Island" quite a bit due for two reasons: a depiction of the future which wasn't too "over the top", which was refreshing, coming from Bay, and that the leads were very effective at portraying their characters. McGregor, from his acting, and Johansson, from her open, fresh expression.
