Eden
After their plane crashes off the coast of a deserted Pacific island, the surviving members of an American soccer team find themselves in the most dire of circumstances with limited resources, dwindling food supply and no rescue coming any time soon.

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
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.
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 lolCould 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 review is not so much a spoiler, but it points out just how awful people can be to each other when under pressure. It really did remind me of Lord of the Flies in many ways because things went tits up quick, fast, and in a hurry. Considering the events took place over a little more than ten days, the characters didn't take long to show their true colors and true hearts. I was surprised that the island they were on had very little edible vegetation or natural water sources. I was also surprised that there were no organized search parties to explore the island to see what resources were potentially available to the group. I found the movie predictable, but entertaining. I didn't learn any life lessons or was left with a "feel good" feeling, but it did keep me interested for the duration.
This is not a bad movie. It keeps you entertained and it is not boring, except for some scenes at the beginning in the plane. And even though from those very first scenes you can guess that the plane will crash and that those beautiful girls are there in order to make some rivalry and tensions later on among many guys, it does not make you say: I knew it exactly. It is what you thought, but it has some slight changes.What is the best thing about the movie? I guess a lot of shirtless, hot and beautiful men. And add two beautiful girls, of which one is some kind of a football groupie... As for acting. I guess the acting of everyone was good. Not excellent but good.The things I did not like: The crush scenes were done laughably! They could cut them altogether! They counted 15 survivors, but just the moments before it, in the plane, there were maybe 20 people. So, only 5 died?! After 8 days they all pretty much look good and did not lost a kilo! And they have run out of food some days before? Also, after days without food or much water, they still can swim miles?! And run on the islands? And the 'best' thing: the last fight scene - they are fighting in the dark, it was supposed to be evening or midnight and out of the blue a helicopter and it is dawning!!!??? And not to mention that the survivor ( alpha male) hides from the rescue?! OK, I know that they made it look like justice is done, but... All in all, besides these faults, I give it a seven.
