Story Synopsis:
In the far-off future of the year 2019 (yikes!!) the world seems to be filled with humans living a robotic life in a concrete existence. The only thing they have to look forward to is winning the lottery and going off to live an idyllic life on "The Island." But Lincoln Six Echo (McGregor) begins to suspect that the island isn't all that it's cracked up to be and when his friend, Jordan Two Delta (Johansson), is chosen as the next lucky lottery winner, he convinces her that it's time they made their escape from the world in which they live. (Tricia Spears)
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD picture is extremely stylized, with an edgy quality that is complementary to the storytelling. The picture is often highly contrasted, with bright whites and deep blacks. Colors are vibrant and solid, often with limited gradients for a “painted” appearance, like the holographic images that taunt the inhabitants of the laboratory. The picture is often quite clean and solid, with little distracting pixelization and only a few objects that can appear somewhat enhanced with minor halos. (Suzanne Hodges)
Soundtrack:
While the Dolby® Digital 5.1-channel soundtrack is powerful in its delivery, distinct imaging around the soundfield can be blurred by the all-out barrage of sound. Deep, powerful bass is delivered through each full-range channel with a solid use of the LFE channel for added punch. The more action packed scenes can become intense, but true imaging across the surroundfield can be limited to the left and right sides, without any center back imaging that can leave the field wanting. In addition, many outdoor scenes can be devoid of ambiance in the surrounds, which makes the sound very one-dimensional. This soundtrack is a good attempt, but not quite at the level of reference quality. (Danny Richelieu)
