I liked The Island too. Reminded me of a cross between Coma and Logan's Run sort of .

I thought the Island had a lot of other "borrowings" in it: Logans Run, THX1138, 1984, The Matrix, Star Wars, and Blade Runner. Still, I really enjoyed it.

"I liked The Island too. Reminded me of a cross between Coma and Logan's Run sort of ."

yes, Coma
and Logan's Run,

but also Brave New World (Big Brother system of lies)
and Gattica (the genetic engineering)
and Blade Runner (scenes of Sean Young, sincere android)
and Solent Green (scenes of body harvesting)
and Matrix (for a completely detailed false world).

Scarlett Johansson plays an great role as ingenue (3 year old adult clone).
And reprises her roles in Girl with a Pearl Earring and Lost in Translation -- but gets in some real fight scenes.
