Description

Director Michael Bay delivers a striking look at a strange future world in this unique genre-bending blockbuster. Midway through the 21st century, Lincoln Six Echo (Ewan McGregor) lives in a confined indoor community after ongoing abuse of the Earth has rendered most of the planet uninhabitable. One of the only places in the outside world still capable of sustaining life is an idyllic island where citizens are chosen to live through a lottery. Or at least that's what Lincoln and his fellow citizens are taught to believe; the truth is that Lincoln, like everyone he knows, is actually a clone who is kept under wraps to provide needed organs when the person who supplied his or her DNA falls ill. When he becomes aware that his existence is a fraud, Lincoln escapes to the outside world with a fellow clone, Jordan Two Delta (Scarlett Johansson), though the powers that be are determined to see that no one gets away alive.

    Love this movie. Total hidden/under appreciated sci-fi gem. I was in high school when this came out, and I rented it from good ol Hollywood Video. Great Friday night movie this was. Exciting, high intensity action scenes and a killer twist midway through the film. Sean Bean also makes a pretty good baddie. Lots of fond memories with this one. Don’t miss it folks, highly recommended.

    So the idea of how cold hearted some people are in the pursuit of science is disgusting and shown in this movie like the nazi doctors. That said great action movie and storyline! Really enjoyed surprised I had never seen this movie till now, lol.
  • Nothing worse than bad reviews for good movies!

    I know, I know it's just an opinion. I just get tired of elitist reviewers that write things about a good film that make it sound bad. This a good medium to fast paced fun film. I've seen it about 5 times and still fing new things I missed. Just enjoy the ride and slow your thinking and down and you'll be fine. Come on Scarlett Johansen and Ewen McGregor how bad is that!

    Wanted to like it... but it’s terrible. Great story ruined by a terrible storyteller.

    Premise was interesting. Acting good. Story ok. But, not my cup of tea. Ok to rent, but don’t expect a lot.

    When this movie came out I only saw it because Ewan McGregor is in it. It's one of my favorite movies.
