Poor movie. Looks like Universal are cutting its losses with this release and not exactly pushing the boat out shall we say !

This looks like a very lackluster movie. I really have no interest in seeing it.

The movie was a big flop. I might rent it one day.

I actually enjoyed it , It'll be on my christmas list for sure .

This was an entertaining enough movie with a quick pace and some nice action sequences; I'm kind of at a loss as well as to why it didn't do well at the summer box office seeing as far worse summer films have made much more money.

Not interested in a blind-buy or a rental. With this flop on his resume, Michael Bay might wise up and never go behind a camera lens again (he's only made one real good movie, "The Rock" ).

hehehe...yeah I read about that. Apparently some sequences are ripped-off shot for shot.

I'll give this a rent maybe though. Scarlett Johansson looks hot and who doesn't love to watch Ewan McGregor act.

Purchasers be aware, there is a double-dip likely in early 2006.

I'll pick this one up as well.  As far as mindless blockbusters go, this move could have done a lot worse.

The only movie I found entertaining from Michael Bay was Bad Boys 2.  The movie was horrible but that one particular car chase scene was all that it had going for it.  Otherwise, the rest of the movie is, like all his movies, lackluster!

it's BAREBONES and only has a featurette.
War Of The worlds was good

This movie was one of my faves of this year - it was amazing full stop. Can't wait for this.

The film looks pretty poor, but I guess I'll check it out.

I really enjoyed the movie, the f/x were pretty awesome

I can't believe this tanked, while crap like War of the Worlds made huge money. I guess if Cruise took a dump for 3 hours and Spielberg directed it, people would run to the theatre to see it.

good call my friend, i don't think this movie was to amazing or anything but IMO it was alot better than War of the Worlds (2nd most over rated movie of the year, 1st being Mysterious Skin) Never the less i'll wait out for the Special edition.  

The island IMO was a very entertaining movie, i would give it a solid 7/10, there was alot of good things working for the movie, good cast, well paced action, and alot of cool concepts.

Though i feel i must correct some, people seem to be calling this movie a bomb, so i did a little background check and found out that the movie had a budget of $126,000,000.
Domesticaly it brought in $35,818,913, and Overseas it did  $123,100,000, now combine those 2 numbers and it comes in to a World wide total of $158,918,913.  It hasen't even came to dvd yet, when its all said and done the movie will have made alot of profit.

Not a bomb if you ask me?

I like quite a few Michael Bay movies but "The Rock" is easily one of his worst. A crap story with crap acting and crap action - I have no idea why so many people rate it so highly.
