Eden

The fighting and the beating between the male characters of this film is way out of what someone would expect under a situation of food scarcity. I mean I understand tension arising cause of the sudden and abnormal situation that the group is facing but that goes way out of that. Same goes for all the swimming between the 2 islands which they have more than a mile distance. Swimming a distance like that in an open ocean is a very exhausting activity even for athletes. Same applies for the sexual encounters that happen. Overall a cheap production that is hardly convincing.

Why do some movies get made? Why did this one? No, really, I'm asking, because I don't for the life of me know why. Production values seem reasonably high - the plane crash, CGI for missing limbs etc. Why didn't they spend a few bucks on the script?! - it is just stupid on top of stupid. E.g. they are marooned on a desert Island with few supplies, needing to conserve strength, yet they run around playing soccer, continuously swim back and forth between two Islands (a mile apart) engage in sexual relations constantly (but zero nudity) - and I could go on, but I will not waste any more of my energy on this turd of a motion picture

This film begins on fine footing, we're introduced to all of the characters and all of the requisite personality types are present for this type of story. It continues a little predictably but I was still with it. Then all of a sudden, and with no signs of it coming, all of the characters suddenly turn hyper-paranoid and aggressive. There's no gradual progression down this path which would make it plausible and engaging, but very abruptly so that it's not only unrealistic but makes the viewer feel insulted that the director would actually expect us to accept this. In addition, it enforces negative gender stereotypes - the men are all aggressive hot-heads and the women are passive observers of the random barbarism of their male counterparts. This film really is a mess and honestly feels like a waste of resources and talent.

It appears to be directed and written by a teenager with excessive testosterone.

Unrealistic. With egocentric, alfha males measuring who has the biggest...

Very, very, very bad.

What a waste of time...

Plot loses its way. Underdeveloped. Two male leads do a good job with a less than compelling script. (I only watched this because I thought it was the movie with the same name from 2013 starring Beau Bridges but I was wrong!)
