The Island

Obligatory comment about The Island: brainless script with very good action and production. Entertainment business in its purest form… except it seems to be a commercial flop. Was marketing badly done? Were people not interested in the theme of the movie? Was it too sci-fi for the mainstream crowd, while too mainstream for the sci-fi crowd?

Whatever the reasons, expect Michael Bay to go back to absurdly bad movies like Con-Air or Pearl Harbor.

Oh another thing… the way they used product placement really sucked, talk about destroying the suspension of disbelief with those Nokia and MSN logos, and especially the current XBox logo on a 2019 videogame! Other stuff like Chrysler cars did work for me, but maybe it’s just that the Chrysler logos means nothing in Spain.
