The Island
The Island tells the story about a group of clones in year 2015. These clones, called ‘products’ were made specifically for two purposes for their original counterpart. Harvesting their organs for organ transplant and bearing babies. After that, they’ll be killed.
The products were born and bred in what appears to be a plastic sack filled with transparent goo, quite similar with matrix. Their age were accelerated to fit the age of their original counterparts. They were then burned with a set of numbers and tagged with a bracelet containing their identification. The products were then given sets of white clothes and shoes and subjected to rigorous social and physical training and checkup to keep them healthy.
The products were educated that the world outside is polluted and they are the lucky ones to survived. Once a while, through a lottery, one of them will be sent to the island. The island is pictured to be the last unpolluted place on earth and only selected few are allowed to be there. The reality is, going to the island means it is the time for the clone to be harvested.
This is one of those movies that have stupid title, terrible advertising campaign, but left me in awe. Action packed and heart pumping, I would highly recommend watching this movie.
