Set in a dystopian future, a group of people work in a facility, essentially as slaves. They do have an incentive though – a regular lottery is held and one of them gets to leave the facility and its restrictions and move to The Island, a paradise. Lincoln Six Echo is one of the workers in the facility and he is infatuated with Jordan Two Delta. His life is fairly uneventful and mundane until Jordan Two Delta gets selected to go to The Island. Then Lincoln starts to discover the truth about the facility and The Island.

The Island Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 6.8 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 298,916.
I found The Island to be highly enjoyable – a great Summer blockbuster that isn’t quite mindless. It raises a number of very interesting questions…
Plenty of eye candy in every form, the two leads, the scenery, explosions, action sequences, the cinematography, everything you would expect from Michael Bay and Co.
The pacing to begin with is somewhat slow as the premise is set up (though disappointingly the trailers give it all away), but once it launches into the first action sequence it doesn’t let up for some time. Yes the story has a number of plot holes but you can easily overlook them and get swept away in the fun. I’ve never seen Johansson on film until now and WOW, now I know what all the fuss is about. Her and McGregor display enough chemistry to make their relationship believable but only just. I’m sure this will only propel them onto bigger and better things.
My one and only gripe was with the ending scene complete with cheesy choral accompaniment – blech! Maybe Bay just couldn’t help himself. I suppose no film is perfect..
Critics Rating by Cynthia Fuchs, from Commonsensemedia give 2 star out of 5 Star.
