Ok, so the picture isn’t technically from the film but there
were just too many pictures of Ewan McGregor and not enough of Scarlett
Johansson to choose from. My rules.
Curiosity leads to a hell of a lot of explosions. When
Lincoln Six Echo (Ewan McGregor) has some questions about the facility where he
lives, it leads him to discover that he and the other residents of the facility
are clones who are being harvested for their organs. Pretty grim but he rallies
like a champ and teams up with Jordan Two Delta (Scarlett Johansson) to escape
and make people aware of what is going on.
There is so much running in this film. I mean, I was
exhausted just watching them. And explosions all over the shop, but it is a
Michael Bay film so that is expected. Some of the fighting scenes I could
believe in, y’know, they might’ve happened. But then there’s the bit when
Lincoln and Jordan are on the side of the building 70 floors up and they fall
off and survive. Wouldn’t have happened. I know it’s a film about cloned people
yaddayadda, but you’ve got to keep parts of it believable. Loved the fighting
though. Pretty much all of my notes centre around how much of a badass Scarlett
is. I’m not even sure what the notes refer to since all I wrote was “Oh my,
such a badass” (and other variations along that line) but I’m sure the scenes were great.
I’m not really sure what would happen at the end. All the
other clones escape the facility and it’s all pretty dramatic with them running
about. But what happens next? Do they just chill with their originals? When the
doctor was explaining, he said something about them being like children, so
what would they do in the world? Although saying that, he did also say that
they removed the sex instinct and that clearly didn’t work considering Lincoln
and Jordan violate the proximity rules, if you know what I mean. I don’t know,
would quite like to know what they did after they escaped. Probably had lots of sex.
6/10
