Project Eden

95% of the movie was Evelyn on the run. Last 5% was hogwash. Basically no ending.

Two thirds of this was an OK mystery thriller - low budget - but suddenly it lurched into a different genre, which I will call "Pseudo religious mashup weird (But in a bad way)" I wasn't going to post this, as I prefer to share good experiences, but eventually decided a warning was appropriate! A grudging 2 - mostly for the Imagine Dragons outro music! :)

Incredible rubbish. I really don't know what else to write about it. The prompter won't let me stop at just incredible rubbish. It tells me my review is too short but there is nothing else to say about it.

When Evelyn Green (Emily Fradenburgh) is three-month-pregnant, she receives a letter from the American government informing that her husband Adam died in the war. She delivers the baby Thomas, who is catatonic and has been interned for six years. The doctors tell her that Thomas will not recover and suggest that he should be submitted to a euthanasia. Out of the blue, Evelyn is visited by a stranger, Ethan Varick (Peter Christian Hansen) , who tells her that he had a daughter with the same disorder and the government killed his wife and daughter. Further, he tells her that two men posing as FBI Agents will look for her on the next morning, and that he will be in a place in town waiting for her. In the morning, agent David Roth (Mike Dopud) and his partner come to Evelyn's home and snoop around looking for Ethan. She flees and meets Ethan, and together they find evidence of a man in the north of the country that might have information about the conspiracy of the government involving Thomas. But the relentless David Roth is chasing them down and will not give up.

"Project Eden" is a movie with a promising story about government conspiracy most of the time. Suddenly, when Evelyn faints, it becomes a mess and changes the genre with a great confusion. Further, there is no ending of the story, and the viewer is disappointed to see a film without conclusion. Was it supposed to be the pilot of a series? My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Projeto Eden" ("Project Eden")

Very good movie. It's a low budget movie, but have a very spiritual core. The Actors are good, and the sound track very well chosen.
