The Island

Creepy, to be sure, but not necessarily in the way the makers had hoped. Maybe it never occurred to them that overblown movies created by abuse of technology are not much better than dystopian worlds created by abuse of technology. Yeah, you can watch it feeling there's a moral to this tale of cloning for greed and venality, but then some grotesque product placement comes along and blows that idea out of the water. And that doesn't even cover the confusing, badly-directed action sequences that invade the screen as exercises in empty destruction. Banish this one to some far off, isolated land.
