by

The survival thriller Eden, featuring Vanessa Kirby and Jude Law, is now available to stream on Prime Video. Critics have called it a surprisingly entertaining and thrilling film, describing it as a “sweaty hoot.”

Released in 2024, Eden, directed by Ron Howard, tells the true story of a group—primarily German citizens—who chose to leave everything behind after World War I. They sought a fresh start by establishing a new community on a deserted island in the Galapagos.

The film Eden delves into a fascinating and enduring unsolved mystery: the story of eight people who traveled to a remote Galapagos Island, and where less than half of them lived to tell the tale. It’s based on two very different interpretations of the actual events.

Joining Kirby and Law in the film are Ana de Armas, Sydney Sweeney, Daniel Brühl, and Jonathan Tittel, among other talented actors.

I’m really excited about this movie because it has a fantastic cast, but honestly, I’m a little worried. They haven’t done much to promote it – all we’ve gotten is one trailer a couple of weeks ago, and that’s it! I hope it doesn’t get lost in the shuffle.

The movie Eden has received mixed reviews, currently holding a 58% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 116 reviews. Critics often describe it as campy.

According to The Los Angeles Times, Eden feels more like a pricey reality show featuring people struggling to survive together. However, they describe it as an enjoyable, fast-paced summer watch – like a guilty pleasure beach novel.

According to Little White Lies, the film Eden is at its best when it freely reimagines historical events, presenting them in a bold and flamboyant style.

According to The New York Post, Eden is consistently engaging, especially because its star-studded cast manages to look incredibly glamorous even while covered in mud.

According to the San Jose Mercury News, the actors fully commit to their roles, delivering energetic and over-the-top performances, especially Ana de Armas and Jude Law, who undergoes a dramatic and revealing character arc. The publication describes Eden as an enjoyable and exciting film that takes inspiration from Lord of the Flies and the television show Survivor.

According to IndieWire, a movie about the complete failure of a real-life idealistic society and the flaws of humanity shouldn’t be as enjoyable as this one is, but thankfully, it is.

Eden is now streaming on Prime Video.
