Review:

The intro story line informs us that Tyler (Evan Stone) dropped out of the society and left for Amazon jungle in order to continue his research focusing on regeneration of water and life. Tyler’s follower/ex-lover, Ava, comes to Amazon to help him along with her fiancé, Dale. John Decker has some mercantile interests in the rain forest, so he gets to play a bad guy.

Scene 1
Rita brings John a map of some nice rain forest places that can bring a lot of money in the long run. To celebrate this, they have anal and oral sex in John’s dwelling place. Rita looks adorable, which brightens the scene tremendously. It’s a pity we don’t get to see a lot of her cute face – the camera is quite far and focuses on the action – not on facial expressions.

Scene 2
Evan and Alexa have sex by a waterfall. Even though the scene background is great, the scene is average due to Alexa’s average looks and some lack of light (part of the scene was shot in the shadow of the waterfall stones). Most of the sex in the scene is anal.

Scene 3
After a long journey, Ava and Dale finally leave their boat and decide to have some rest – Ava enjoys the sun and the waves, and then they have some oral and vaginal sex on the beach. The scene was shot with enough light, the sex is warm.

Scene 4
Evan proclaims a couple of newly wed locals (Briana Banks and Marty Romano) as children of the Earth, while they all are standing in the creek. To tell the truth, I was laughing at the thought that these porn couple represented the Amazon locals – she has implants + pierced tongue, and he has tattoos all over his body – very Amazonish, I must admit : ) Anyway, these worshippers of the old ways don’t waste time on words – they continue their celebration with a threesome. I really liked Briana’s looks and the natural and light background of the scene.

Scene 5
Ava and Dale finally find Evan’s place – Dale and Evan have a little misunderstanding at first (the 2 males and 1 female situation), but then Ava makes her choice and leaves Dale for Evan. Dale finds a nice solution to the problem – he has sex with Isabella instead. The scene is good, but somewhat dark.

Scene 6
It’s raining in the rain forest, and there is nothing else to do except to have some sex – that’s exactly what Evan + Ava and John + Suzy Sweet do. It’s a two-couple scene with a lot of oral and vaginal.

In the morning, we finally see the result of Evan’s research – it’s Ava who makes the conclusions (maybe Evan is just a good orator and not a good scientist after all : ) ) – it appears that it’s not water itself that has the power to regenerate, but the plants that grow next to the water. At the time when her great scientific mind reaches the unattainable : ), John comes on a tractor with an intention to start cutting the surrounding trees. Everybody comes out to stop him, and he, frustrated by the fact that his tractor can’t pass the united people, walks away – the aggression against the rain forest is over!!! This last scene looked like a complete joke to me – it’s like having a lonely little gate in the middle of the desert that is supposed to stop camels from continuing their trip. Anyway, the movie ends with some superficial statistics about how much is and will be lost if human continue ruining the rain forest. The cause is good, but the representation of it in the movie is slightly odd : )

Overall: The plot seemed to lack some logic and the end was just a mockery of how people stand up against “deforestation” – several brightly decorated and manicured porn stars join hands against a small tractor that is usually used for shifting around sand and garbage, and not for cutting trees. The movie has a lot of positive sides though – it’s a great flick for couples and for those who enjoy watching sex on a tropical background. If you liked this movie, then try a couple of other Adam & Eve flicks – 'Search for the Snow Leopard', and 'Caribbean Undercover' – they both are in the higher budget range.

Extras:
Behind the Scene (20 minutes): excellent compilation about how the movie was shot.
Bonus Section contains two more scenes (30 minutes total) – one with Evan and Briana, and another one with Evan and Isabella. They have an off-stage sexual encounter, therefore the video quality is a little lower than that of the feature. The sex in these two scenes is much warmer and friendlier than in the movie.
Bonus Photo Gallery: about 60 HQ pictures.
