Good visual effects
Cool idea
Lacks story
Shallow
I have never read The Island book, so I cannot compare it to the movie. So I will just make a few statements about the movie.
The movie had some cool scenes like big explosions and fast car chases, but the general movie was somewhat shallow. It was lacking something that I just can't put my finger on, but when you get up at the end of this movie, you really don't leave with the thought "That was a good movie".
I think one of the downfalls in it was that 75% of the movie was the two main characters running from the bad guys. It very rarely let up from the chase scenes. I have to say though, that the movie did start out with a pretty interesting aspect that they could have made into a good movie, but overall this movie flunked.
