| The Island debuts on DVD & UMD 9th January It's time to prepare for a trip to The Island as it arrives on DVD and UMD on 9th January from Warner Home Video. This action thriller from director Michael Bay will knock you off your sofa with its high-octane action sequences and intriguing plot twists. Starring Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson, and an all-star supporting cast including Djimon Hounsou, Sean Bean, Steve Buscemi and Michael Clarke Duncan, The Island takes you into the future on a relentless, adrenaline-filled obstacle course for survival. DVD special features include The Making of The Island Featurette, which showcases the standard-setting special effects and death-defying real-life stunts that put you in the center of the action. Lincoln Six-Echo (McGregor) and Jordan Two-Delta (Johansson) are among the hundreds of residents of a contained facility in the mid-21st century. Like all of the inhabitants of this carefully controlled environment, everything about their day-to-day lives is monitored, seemingly for their own good. The only way out - and the hope they all share - is to be chosen to go to The Island, reportedly the last uncontaminated spot in the world following an ecological disaster that reportedly took the lives of everyone on the planet...except them. Recently plagued by unexplained nightmares, Lincoln is restless and increasingly questioning of the restrictions placed on his life. But he is unprepared for the truth when his growing curiosity leads to the terrible discovery that everything about his existence is a lie, that The Island is a cruel hoax...and that he, Jordan and everyone they know are actually more valuable dead than alive. With time running out, Lincoln and Jordan make a daring escape to the outside world they've never known while the forces of the institute relentlessly hunt them down. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
