The Island

On Sat. after our slip & slide event we decided to take the boys and their friends Cody & Tyler to see "The Island." We were looking forward to the movie because of Ewan McGregor, who played Obi-won in the Star Wars films. The actress ( Scarlett Johansson ) that played along side him has only been in a bunch of movies and only one other that we've saw was, In Good Company (2004), and she did a great job. The movie is great and keeps you on the edge of your seat with all of the action. You get a break here and there for you to sip you soda, but it's right back to the action again. Of course there is a little lead in of about 15-30 mins. to explain the background of the story, but once the action starts it's full throttle. The bases of the movie has a strange but believable idea of how people protect themselves against dying in the future. I really don't want to give to much away, if you've seen the previews then that's enough. Go see it, you won't regret it. I explain the movie afterwards to all the boys and they all understood the bad parts of the movie and way the doctor was wrong for what he was doing.
