The Story:

From Director Michael Bay (Armageddon, The Rock) comes an action-packed thrill ride that's an "explosive mind-blowing assault on the senses! - Clay Smith (The Insider) Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson lead an all-star cast as residents of an isolated high-tech compound. But when they discover they're actually clones and worth more dead than alive they stage a daring escape. Battling an unfamiliar environment and an armed team of mercenaries in hot pursuit they'll risk their lives and freedom to save those they left behind - and reveal the truth about The Island...

 

Story Rating:

The Picture:

Detail and colors all definitely outshine the competent SD edition and I noted no intensive flaws to mar a home theater presentation. It can look saturated in some scenes but I have no evidence to suggest this was not an intentional look. Being a Michael Bay film there are some rich, striking images (some fake, many real) and they look duly impressive on 1080P. The Island is probably one film that is worthy of being noted as a strong reason to encourage upgrading to Blu-Ray dependant, of course, on how keen you might be on the film - which, dare I say, one of Bay's most intelligent and possibly his best effort to date

 

Picture Rating:

The Sound:

Nothing overly notable with Warner's inclusion of the English surround option which is quite competent when called upon - buoyant and separated... but still fairly even and consistent in the interim with dialogue audio supported by English subtitle options. No complaints at all.
