Worth seeing or see something else? Seeing Choc Factory on friday, might see this with some mates over the weekend if it's worth seeing.

Saw The Island today. I liked it, but bloody hell Michael Bay needs to learn to keep the camera steady during action sequences.
Fair enough, use the shaky cam when whip panning back and forth between action, ala Evil Dead or Saving Private Ryan, but when they're hiding in a broom cupboard do we really need to have the cameraman having an epileptic fit whilst trying to film them?
Decent, not amazing. Action wasn't much (dropping train wheels on cars ripped right from Bad Boys 2, the hover bike right from Judge Dredd, everything else Logan's Run) At least the girl was pleasant to look at, made it possible to withstand ol' Ewan's attempt at an American accent.
Music was good, though, stuck the soundtrack on my iPod just now.

Funny you should say that... [URL]http://www.theshiznit.co.uk/review.php?id=94[/URL]. Rob Cohen is even worse. He's like a Bay pretender.

Can you imagine the life of a man who isn't as good at Michael Bay?
Actually, he's probably very rich. Scratch that.

I thought The Island was a thrilling action film that you don't usually get these days

Yeah I read that when you first posted it, I especially liked the scratching of the ass comment.
I'm a fan of Michael Bay, Bad Boys, The Rock, Armageddon; all great films in my opinion. Pearl Harbour was, well, everyone knows about that, and Bad Boys II wasn't as good as the original.
I like his style, but he didn't do most of his trademark moves in The Island, instead he just shook the camera constantly. Felt like I was watching a film on a rollercoaster.
