The Island
Finally saw this one, it's on regular cable now, and I'm glad I saved the money from the theater. It's not a bad movie, per se, it's just not very good. The story unfolds at a disjointed pace - it takes a long time to ramp up, all of sudden it turns into The Matrix, then it winds back down again... sorta. The characters aren't really likable, which makes it hard to identify with their plight. Right about the time the escaped clones make their getaway on a rocket-motorcycle, you'll be asking yourself "where the hell did they learn to do that?" Super-clones, I guess...
Anyway, The Island is probably worth watching vs. reruns of Three's Company, but I wouldn't go out of your way for it.
