The entire goddamned Star Wars prequel trilogy. Nonstop A-list in three movies and all that talent was wasted.

Not even Samuel L. Jackson and Christopher Lee could escape the disaster of that sterile green screen set.

the island by michael bay

what a neat premise: it's the future and rich people and celebs can pay to grow back up organs and limbs for themselves, but what they don't know is that the organs/limbs come from living clones of themselves who are being held in a truman show style post-apocalyptic fiction. then two of these clones escape.

but instead of taking a neat premise and doing cool things, just show a boat chase and explosions

The Island a ripoff of "The Clonus Horror" from the 80s I think (the mst3k version makes it tolerable). I don't think I've ever seen a movie with a clone farming premise that worked.

Movies with clones seem to bomb no matter what.

Speaking of clones: Attack of the Clones.
