The Island

This movie came highly recommended by a friend so my wife and I watched it. Finally, I found it to be entertaining, with something "different" in the story, but there are at least two things that make it fell short of a good movie. First, the actors are bad, and very much so. Then it's badly directed (or edited) : look at the first pursuit scene in the basement : Ewan Mac Gregor and Scarlett Johansson look like they are running in random direction : they must have been shot by an "un-steady cam" and the different shots cut and pasted in random fashion by an intern that had a twitching hand. This one scene makes the movie scream "cheap". Overall, a good concept with a bad realization.
