Director Michael Bay admitted at a press conference that he feared his target audience might get bored with the first act of his new movie THE ISLAND, because the nature of the story prevented him from doing any of his trademark action sequences.

"It hurts not being able to do the action in the beginning," Bay said. "I forced myself not to. I drew it out for 30 minutes. I love how the switch happens, and the movie takes off. You think, 'Is the audience going to get bored?' This younger generation wants things to be faster. Hopefuly, they're going to like the beginning of this movie. It seems like the audiences that have seen it like the innocence and the subtext."
