Interestingly, I thought a lot about this ...Yikes. Interestingly, I thought a lot about this film.<BR/>I'll don't know exactly why the movie failed, but for me it just wasn't interesting. <BR/>Ebert and Roeper described it as two sepearte movies: a thoughtful sci-fi film and a slam-bang action chase movie. Independantly good, but together disjointed. This is probably because Michael Bay joined late in the project.<BR/>One very interesting sidenote is that the film was rumored to be a remake of "The Clonus Horror" from the 80's. "Clonus" was about a group of people living on a paradise island that discover they're just clones to provide parts for the wealthy and the famous. There was even a campaign to get the creators to acknowledge the obvious similarities.<BR/>http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/movies/2002394690_islandripoff.html<BR/>http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117927239?categoryid=13&cs=1Maurice Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338165486757095191noreply@blogger.com
