| CinerinaKarina MontgomeryI loved it...you get your money's worth, and there's actually a story in there with all the pants-pooping excitement. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA schizoid sci-fi-actioner in which a modest drama about human cloning irritatingly clashes with a typically noisy Michael Bay flick, full of crashes and explosions |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA typical example of Bay's excess...sleek but utterly bombastic and silly. |
| Movie ViewsRyan CracknellMy eyes hurt. So much action. So many explosions. So few words. |
| Gazette (MD)Jeffrey LylesIt may not have Ginger or Mary Ann but this is one island you won't mind being stranded on for a few hours. |
| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh LarsenWhat would it take to turn your world upside down? For me, it took seeing a good Michael Bay movie. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertAs futuristic nightmares go, The Island is pretty appealing. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...a sci-fier with roots in such films as "Logan's Run," "THX 1138," "Looker" and "Coma," that devolves into one big chase scene after another with lots of explosions |
| Arizona RepublicBill MullerA high-concept movie that director Michael Bay turns into Bad Boys III: Send in the Clones. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderBut despite all of Bay's best efforts, he still managed, through sheer dumb luck, to wind up with a cracking good sci-fi adventure that doesn't falter until the second half. |
