It's entertaining for what it's worth. It's Michael Bay, so you have to accept the exploding cars doing triple somersaults, but it was a hell of a lot interesting than, say, Pearl Harbor.

I liked how they presented the world as being post-apocalyptic and under a totalitarian government, and then throwing that around.

I know Johansson's character was supposed to have the mental capabilities of a 15-year-old, but she overacted too much. I blame the director.

The product placement was horrible. Absolutely horrible.

But it was entertaining. It's Michael Bay, so I don't know if everyone was expecting Kurosawa, but it was entertaining.

I just watched "The Island" a week or so ago, and thought it was shite. Michael Bay is a hack, and this movie prooved it. Seems he just took some of the better action/sci-fi movies from the last 30 years, threw them in a blender, and pooped this turd out.

For a brief second I thought this was a political statement on how Michael Bay is against Stem Cell Research, then I came to my senses and realized sometimes a turd is just a turd...no reason to look deeper than that.

Typical Hollywood garbage, I wouldn't watch it again if you paid me.

Jesus this movie was stupid. My wife insisted on seeing it in spite of Teh Bay.

Speaking of that douche, anybody who hates him should listen to Henry Rollins' story of how he got a part in Bad Boys 2.

By Bay standards I thought it was pretty decent, but that isn't saying much. The ending was far too perfect.

There's litigation out there due to the plot bearing an uncanny resemblence to a terrible film called Parts: The Clonus Horror. You may remember it from the 8th season of MST3K. It starred Peter Graves (of BIOGRAPHY!).

Ha. For all his visual flair (and I'll admit, he's got an eye for pretty visuals) the guy has no idea how bad of a storyteller he is.

i've seen far worse films. i don't think this was nearly as bad as some of you guys are letting on.
