Product Description
Region All Blu-Ray pressing. In this action thriller from director Michael Bay (PEARL HARBOR, ARMAGEDDON), survivors of global contamination live in a sterile, self-contained world where their every move is monitored. The rules are easy: be pleasant, refrain from asking questions, and don't rock the boat. Everything they need is provided for them, from the white uniforms that magically appear in their closets, to their customized cafeteria-style meals. The survivors all eagerly await their big payoff: winning the lottery and being sent to The Island, the only remaining untainted land in the world. But Lincoln Six-Echo (Ewan McGregor) yearns for more from his life and begins to wonder what really lies outside the thick walls. When his best friend, Jordan Two-Delta (Scarlett Johansson), wins the lottery, he knows that he has to find out the truth about their world before she departs. What he finds is terrifying enough to send Lincoln and Jordan fleeing from the facility to the real world where they quickly discover that they are clones, and that both The Island and global contamination are a ruse. The clones sole purpose is to be harvested for replacement parts when their sponsors need them. With his business now in jeopardy, Dr. Merrick (Sean Bean), the founder of the cloning company, hires a crack team led by Albert Laurent (Djimon Hounsou) to track down his escaped product. Wild chase scenes through Los Angeles circa 2050 are punctuated by high-tech transportation as Lincoln and Jordan run for their lives

 Sad but True November 18, 2008

This may have nothing to do with the price, but I think I know why they would charge so much. This movie was hit with a stupid copyright lawsuit, which claimed it ripped off "Parts: The Clonus horror", a total piece of garbage (not worth 49 cents.) Most likely it is being released in another region to avoid anymore legal issues. I personally will pay more just so "The Island" gets the recognition it rightly deserves.
 One star for the price November 13, 2008

I just couldn't agree more with the previous comment. I've been anxiously waiting for this title to be released on the superb BD format, and that I have all the necessary elements at home, the price seems to be a new barrier, and it seems we're hands tied here. Newer titles of this nature, Transformers among them, are getting lower prices now. So why is this tile SO expensive? Shame on you Paramount (or whoever sets the prices)!
Great action movie! November 9, 2008

I've been waiting for a long time for this movie on blu-ray after seeing it in HD on cable many years ago. It has the perfect mix of plot, action, effects.
Watchout for the price thou! Could be an import!

$65.99 list price but amazon is selling it for $48.95 what is up with this outrageous price. For that much money Scarlett should deliver to my house personally in a bikini. Anyone know why it costs so much???
Besides that it is a good movie with plenty of action and suspense.
