Deep Space Rumble. THE ISLAND

This is the movie they were trying to make when they did LOGAN'S RUN. This time they got it right. The story makes sense. The characters are given life so that the viewer will care about them when, enivitably, things go awry. The action sequences are larger than life, surprisingly over the top. And the characters elevate themselves above the mundane by a hyperactive sense of honor. This is a fine movie, and one of the rare serious attempts to film SF (pronounced ESS-ef) without stooping to the cliche kind of action-figure Sci-Fi made profitable by STAR WARS. Highly recommended.
