Grade: A-

I got to see �The Island� at a sneak preview � one week before it�s official release. I have to say this is one of my favorite movies of the summer. First of all, I love love love Ewan McGregor! He�s a wonderful actor (he sang in Moulin Rouge!), and he�s totally hot. And in this movie he�s quite the action hero. Technically, this is a sci-fi movie, but there are so many great elements in play. It�s set in the year 2015, so it�s futuristic, and it has the best chase scene I�ve seen in years! Add to it a sweet love story with the lovely young Scarlett Johanssen as Ewan�s love interest and you�ve got a multi-layered, compelling film that holds your attention from start to finish. Great sets, effects � fabulous supporting cast including the always cool Steve Buscemi. This is the must-see film of the summer. It�s rated PG-13, mainly for some creepy birth-like scenes and violence. I think I�d stick with taking kids age 13 and up.
