Review:
Kind of a neat little idea somewhat borrowed from the Matrix but it has enough of it's own ideas to be recognized as a good film all on it's own. Everyone has to live in these facilities where humans are being more or less cloned and controlled. Their only hope is to go to the last remaining beautiful place on earth called "The Island". Only a select few are chosen occasionally, but of course everyone is dying to escape. The only thing is that the island isn't quite what people think it is! It's actually a rather creepy idea of a disturbing future. It's well put together, has some good acting and some good action! Not exactly horrific, but pretty cool none the less.
