[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 2458094, member: 2205"] From the Boston Globe review: Frankly, that sounds fine to me. If it makes you feel any better, my brother and I both thought it more a remake of [i]Logan's Run[/i], which is (arguably) a good movie. Then again, I've never seen this Clonus business. I thought [i]The Island[/i] was entertaining. I liked it. It was a bit predictable, and the long intro section would probably be fairly boring on a rewatch of the movie, but I'll probably actually pick this one up on DVD. Then I can watch the chase sequences from [i]The Matrix Reloaded[/i], [i]Bad Boys II[/i] and [i]The Island[/i] back to back and decide which one I like the best. :) As for plot holes, I didn't notice any that were too obvious. Oddly, what struck me as odd is that Ewan McGregor was tossing big train wheels off the truck to crush the Dodge Magnums; but we had already seen that train tracks have been replaced with maglev trains earlier in the film. My wife says maybe they were on their way to becoming scrap iron, but it struck me as odd. Funny what little things like that catch your attention in a movie. [/QUOTE]
