The Island

Starring: Bay, Michael McGregor and McGregor, Ewan Bean

Product Description

Lincoln Six-Echo is a resident of a seemingly utopian but contained facility in the mid-21st century. Like all of the inhabitants of this carefully controlled environment, Lincoln hopes to be chosen to go to the The Island, reportedly the last uncontaminated spot on the planet. But Lincoln soon discovers that everything about his existence is a lie. He and all of the other inhabitants of the facility are actually human clones whose only purpose is to provide spare parts for their original human counterparts. Realizing it is only a matter of time before he is harvested, Lincoln makes a daring escape with a fellow resident named Jordan Two-Delta. Pursued by the forces of the institute that once housed them, Lincoln and Jordan engage in a race for their lives to literally meet their makers.

Customer Reviews

What is this thing called? Love.

The story is a hodgepodge that resembles “Logan’s Run," "Running Out of Time (the book)," "Anna to the Infinite Power," and a tad of "Coma." I am sure you can think of others. Lincoln Six Echo (Ewan McGregor) leads a sterile life and hopes to win the lottery and go to the only pathogen-free island. Unfortunately, he has a propensity for snooping, as all Six Echoes do. This will lead him to find an insidious secret, and he must escape his environment with his girlfriend Jordan Two Delta (Scarlett Johansson) if he wants her to live. In fast pursuit is the institution manager who has an interest in some of Jordan Two Delta's parts. This is a great adventure as we learn about the outer world and cringes at the chase scenes. Go ahead and kibitz; I did. It is just possible they will not escape their fate.
