	The Island (2005 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Island is a 2005 science fiction film directed by Michael Bay and starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson.
		In addition, the film's closing scenes of the clones escaping the institute and looking upon the outside world for the first time is shot in a manner highly reminiscent of the closing scenes of the afforementioned film.
		Even if this were not the case, the island's ecosystem would soon collapse without input from the ocean around it (this could be explained by the fact that the clones are never educated beyond the level of a child and are conditioned to believe in the island as soon as they are created).

	Cloning - tScholars.com
		However, on February 15 2005 the museum announced that it was stopping the project after tests showed the specimens' DNA had been too badly degraded by the (ethanol) preservative.
		A science fiction film about an isolated community in a remote desert area, where clones are bred to serve as a source of replacement organs for the wealthy and powerful.
		Vacation island populated with dinosaurs cloned using DNA from blood sucked by fossilized, prehistoric insects.

	King Kong (2005 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The film was released on December 14, 2005, and received positive reviews, though not as positive as the reviews given to the Lord of the Rings trilogy that the director Peter Jackson had previously worked on.
		This would indicate that the island natives were a cult religion that once thrived on the mainland of Asia, and all trace of the cult was wiped out, except for the few on the island.
		The most common criticisms of the film were due to excessive length, over-use of slow motion, and several moments where the audience was aware of CGI effects.

	New York Korean Film Festival 2005
		Even though the unfolding romance is quite charming, the film's pace drags in the middle section, with Na-young mostly relegated to the sidelines, observing her parents' romance.
		The film makes effective use of a boldly implausible premise: Su-jin (Son) is stricken with Alzheimer's at the age of 28, a fatal blow to her marriage to the brooding Chul-soo (Jung Woo-sung).
		Choi's film is a great example of the con film, in which the characters are all actors, and make use of their "roles" to get what they want, which are often at odds with each other.

		Although some the stories in the film seem contrived, the actors portraying the roles are not only convincing but perhaps give their best performance to date.
		With the exception of a bullet train at infinite speed and the dialogue, which gave Speedman and Dafoe the worst lines of the film, the film is appealing because Cube and Jackson are worth watching.
		The film revels in its desire to be the next great epic, but it merely falls to a solid somewhat banal period piece of excellent bloody sword and arrow play in numerous battles.

		There was also the wonderfully charming Sideways, by Alexander Payne, the film that killed off merlot as a fashionable grape variety, and the gripping Downfall, the German film that killed off Hitler.
		The film was savage about the lack of honour in its background characters, their petty, cold-hearted viciousness.
		For every Michael Bay film (this year he gave us The Island), there are films such as Closer, directed by Mike Nichols, In Her Shoes, directed by Curtis Hanson, Mike Binder's The Upside of Anger (Joan Allen in fabulous form again) and Dylan Kidd's p.s.

	MOVIE SMACKDOWN! \| Bryce Zabel \| WGAw #1117509: The Island (2005) -vs- The Sixth Day (2000)
		On a very basic level, The Island sees the clones as the victims (like Blade Runner's replicants) where The Sixth Day actually succumbs to the evil clone gag -- which is really a variation on the time-honored "evil twin" plot.
		The Island is more fun to look at, more energetic and, even though it's got a bunch of hokum implanted in it, too, it feels more immediate and real.
		The premise that “everyone wants to live forever” is very true, I think, and if there were some “solution” out there that made that possible (or almost possible by increasing the human lifespan by multiple decades), I think a lot of people would put their ethical and moral values in the backseat.

		Ultimately, a Brazilian island where pigs eat first, and the people are fed what the pigs leave over provides an example of how arbitrarily we have arrived at the human food chain and system of exchange that we now know.
		Weisman, the producer of the original film and the director of this documentary, recalls the process as “a labor of love, a work of passion.” For those who know the film well and perhaps even more so for those who do not, this documentary is a must.

		The year’s big Korean horror hit, this suspenseful tale finds a platoon of soldiers encountering a supernatural presence on an island during the Vietnam War.
		The film’s success is perfectly explicable, for this is an effectively creepy and authentically suspenseful tale, one with roots in the traditional haunted house yarn more than the complex “curse” plotting of many post-Ring Asian shockers.
		Yet the missing soldiers are now sending ghostly radio transmissions, and the new platoon that has been dispatched to investigate uncovers many other troubling omens.
