The Island

CriticsCritics: 45
AudienceAudience: 6.7

In 2019, a man lives in a tightly controlled facility where residents dream of being chosen for a supposed paradise. When he begins questioning the rules and uncovers disturbing truths about their existence, he escapes with a fellow resident, setting off a dangerous fight for survival.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like high-concept science fiction, dystopian mysteries, and large-scale chase sequences, especially with the feel of The 6th Day; Not for you if you prefer subtle, consistently thoughtful storytelling.
