Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): If you think you've seen it before... . ...you have. This film has been compared to "Logan's Run", "The Matrix", and "Coma", to name a few, but it most strongly resembles 1979 B movie "Parts: The Clonus Horror", probably most widely screened by viewers of movie mock-a-thon "Mystery Science Theater 3000". Sitting through "The Island", I kept thinking to myself "Boy, this looks familiar." In fact, "The Island" is almost a complete, play-by-play clone (ba da ching!) of "Parts", right down to the outfits worn by the clones. There is currently a lawsuit against Bay brought by the makers of "Parts", which should be an open-and-shut case.   This film is set in a futuristic clone colonie, where the wealthy and influential pay top dollar to keep copies of themselves available for spare parts. The clones are kept docile and in the dark by the facility's employees, not allowed to leave until they are selected to go to an almost mythical paradise (the Island). Of course, the clones allegedly going to the Island are actually being euthanized for their organs, their patrons having gotten sick. The movie focuses on a male clone who questions his environment and eventually brings down the enterprise. Ewan McGregor is satisfactory in this role, his acting reasonably good despite the bland dialouge. His female counterpart, Scarlet Johansen, is pure eye candy, a mediocre actress who happens to be a knockout blonde but leaves you wondering if she would get the lead (or even a major part) in a college play (the best performance is turned in by Sean Bean, the Evil Scientistï¿½.)There is plenty of action for the viewer to chew on, making for an entertaining enough popcorn movie, but it is not only nothing special, it is nothing original. Maybe worth a rental, but not much more
