Day at the movies
Sneaked away from studying today around noon to watch "The Island". It was a good movie. $$ worth spent. One of the reasons I want to watch it was that there’s suppose to be a lot of product placements. There was quite a lot of them in the movie, but it’s tastefully done. The product placements were subtle, and it won’t make you feel like you are sitting in a board room full of jack asses brainstorming for a new product while staring blindly at a prototype. The other reason to watch this movie of course, is because I’m sort of a science geeky type person. Cloning is something that really appeals to me. The plot itself is pretty straight forward, but good enough that you won’t be screaming at the screen telling the actors to get off their ass and start running for their life. The special effects were well executed. Lots of car crashes, stuff exploding. They even got the lighting and focus done right in those scenes where the clone and the original are together. A lot of people who watched are disappointed at how non-futuristic, not I. Maybe just because I much prefer practicality than design. Not much negative stuff to say about the movie, except Scarlett Johansson still looks better with her natural hair colour.
