3/10
Very dark and cold

I agree with most of the written comments and would like to add some of my own. It does show how human turn into animals when it comes to survival, but it is a bit too dark. It is not very realistic that the majority of the group decides that the injured people don't deserve to eat and drink. They didn't have any faith that the rescue will come, that means either they all die eventually or they figure out the way to get fish out of the sea - makes no sense to save this small amount of supplies. Nobody can live forever from it anyway. Second, I believe that in this situation (hunger, desperation etc.) people just don't have the libido for a wild sex in the jungle that only means the waste of energy. Because of that, the sex scenes were not sexy at all, just very very sick. The punishment for the guy that had food hidden could be that he gets no more water and food or whatever, the alpha wanted to kill him because of that - what??? And the thing with Elena - a starved and tired man suddenly has so much urge to have sex that he is capable of raping the girl, and he knows that the alpha would kill him after he does it - totally absurd. The death of the Mario Casas was also very, very parody like - it seems almost impossible. And also why? Why does the alpha struggle so much to kill this other guy in front of everybody. And after all what he is done and said, some of them still went to another island with him?!?!? About the dead soldier ... As we all saw, the island was very small - why would there be a war in the past? People don't just travel to the island in the middle of nowhere to set mines and wait for the enemies to come. Doesn't make sense... The guy has dropped the food in the water - so what - it's still there in the sea, they can all dive and swim. And afterwards there was no sign of that shark - they don't just go away, they stick around for a while to see if there is some more (and also because are some dead bodies in the sea near the beach). I only watched it because I wanted to see Mario Casas in an english speaking role :)
