Seems that there is a contest in the movie industry to see who achieves the highest level of hopelessness and helplessness in the movies... War of the Worlds was not such a big deal in matters of script, but keeps you on the edge in matters of visual hopelessness. I mean, nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide! And then comes The Island, keeping you on the edge when you realize the Tylenol pill society of boys and girls is in reality a cloning factory... where the clones are coming alive on their own and so... they are as close to being a human as some humans I know...You feel for the clones, because they have nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide... But then... Ah! A good movie has all the elements, not just eye candy. What War of the Worlds failed to do was giving a heart to its storyline which was very straightforward and lame. The Island touches you deep inside, with a reality than even with eye candy, you come to accept and acknowledge.
What's next?
