For the second half of the film, it's all chase and chase and chase some more, with little audience involvement in how it turns out.

Only in a Bay movie can we sit for two hours watching super models trying to survive a world of supermodels and fast cars.

The pace of this roller coaster ride becomes too furious to remember that it all started out as an adventure addressing some pertinent ethical issues about the pitfalls of stem cell research, cloning, and bio-genetics.

If you find yourself at The Island I have only three words of advice: Vote yourself off.
July 28, 2005
Since Michael Bay never knows when enough is enough, every chase is restaged over and again and the narrative matrix is as simplistic as it is repetitive.

As usual, Bay stages the action at a breakneck pace that's never frenetic enough to obscure his film's plot holes and logical lapses.

You have Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson, these terrific actors reduced to saying, 'Go, go and duck' and hanging from buildings and all that stuff. And it just falls apart.
