Personally, this is by far my favorite Bay film. It never occurred to me that it could easily be made better by toning down all of the Bay-style action sequences. It seems obvious now that it's been pointed out. Thanks!

I really like The Island, I think it has a lot of cool ideas and shows a more interesting future than the usual grim post apocalypse worlds we get to see.

[@KyleCorwith]

It's quite an upbeat LA we see. You're right! I like that aspect.

Ha, good pick up that he was following the trends after Titanic with Pearl Harbour and after Minority Report with this - hadn't thought of that before. I reckon this movie is kind of underrated but yeah it is flawed. Great video man

Just re-watched this recently and I think the story is great...it's an excellent adaptation of/take on Logan's Run. I think you nailed it here...the disjointed efforts between the character development and sincere attention to the human condition and that of the go-go-go intense action/lighting/explosions are a bit off-putting. It's one of those that we both like/dislike at the same time. Another great analysis!

I feel that if the studio were doing more recuts of films, as they are these days (Justice League), they could put together a more cohesive version of this.

@@KyleCorwith Absolutely! That's something that we would love to see!

I like the action. Without it the movie would not appeal to the 15 year old in me. The movie works, both the action and the story.

[@KyleCorwith]

That’s fair. It’s comes off disjointed to me though. But stick around and follow the channel because I’ll be releasing a video on a different action film-“The Fall Guy” soon! 😎

@@KyleCorwith Ok nice. But the Island also done something else for me. It touched me, spiritually. The soundtrack, the singing harmonies and the background music, coupled with when Lincoln is helping Jordan up upon the building logo, or when they make love. It touched me. There's something juvennile and innocent about them, even though they're adult actors, the movie brings out the teenager in people.
