La isla

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.

"The Island" is reasonably entertaining, with some fun (if over-the-top) action sequences, and the production design has some interesting ideas of how we'll live in the future (hint: a LOT of us will apparently be driving Chrysler 300's, especially the police). The "value of life" argument is developed reasonably well, and the characters manage to hold your attention.

Bear in mind that Micheal Bay directed "Armageddon". I might not be saying that much, but "The Island" really is better.
