The Island
(July 22)PREMISE Lincoln (Ewan McGregor) and Jordan (Scarlett Johansson, oddly made up to look like Tara Reid) are on the run from menacing techno-thugs at a medical compound full of clones, who are apparently waiting to be harvested for spare parts.
SLOGAN ''They don't want you to know what you are!''
TRAILER HIGHLIGHTS Lincoln and his clone confront each other (top), each claiming to be the real thing. Foiled escapee Michael Clarke Duncan (bottom) gets dragged down a corridor — the Island's apparent equivalent of the Green Mile. A helpful Exposition Guy (the always welcome Steve Buscemi) pithily explains to our heroes what's going on.
PERCENTAGE OF PLOT SPOILED 70 percent
VERDICT Movies by Michael Bay (Armageddon, Pearl Harbor) aren't really about plot or character. They're about fireballs and shattered glass, and this trailer has plenty of both. Looks like some good, mindless summer blockbuster action, or at least a decent way to enjoy a couple hours of air conditioning in the depths of July. Trailer grade: B
