'Eden' review: Ron Howard's island drama is numbingly dull, and ugly as sin

75% Informative

The film is based on the accounts of several survivors who formed an impromptu commune in the Galápagos .

It's hard not to wonder how it ended up being presented in its final state.

The cast certainly gives it their all, making commendable strides toward fleshing out Noah Pink's screenplay.

The film's gloomy desaturation works at times, though it’s applied as a constant filter from start to finish.

It's ghastly to look at, and swallows up any sense of detail.

Eden far overstays its welcome, like an unwanted, unpleasant houseguest who won't take the hint.
