Eden

Day 6 all still clean shaven. Day 8 almost fully grown in beards.

Lots of shirtless people parading seminaked in a deserted island. The plot pays homage to Lord of the flies but if they were cockroaches instead. Abercrombie & Fitch could not fit them in their 2015 catalogue so they cast them in this wannabe thriller instead.

Started off reasonably well although I think the airplane crash scene could have been longer and more interesting.

Up until the point they find the Japanese soldier all was proceeding well, then it all just went to pot. Lord of the Flies this most definitely isnt!

The illogical actions that no one would do if abandoned on a desert island in the middle of nowhere and the poor story just weakened the whole premise and the ending well....SANDS OF THE KALAHARI - I guess the director had just watched that classic and thought he would throw that ending in lol

Could have been good but like most of the films I am watching over the last few years, they just dont seem to have decent story writers and cannot sustain the pace that a good film needs to keep audiences involved.

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.

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
