Eve's life is forever altered when her parents vanish without a trace after being attacked by supernatural agents. Growing up on the streets, Eve learns the art of self reliance. When she runs into the members of the mysterious 'Order' - a shadowy organisation to which her parents bore allegiance - several unanswered questions from Eve's childhood re-emerge. Why were her parents attacked? Who was their assailant? What is the source of her own supernatural powers?
Spoiler: none of these questions will be answered by this film, or frankly even matter. Prophecy of Eve is a 10 minute prologue bloated out to 70 minutes through copious amounts of recapping, unrelated scenes, and slow-mo. Probably in some part this last item is also to try to disguise the weakness of the action sequences. It's not successful, though.
And I do genuinely mean it when I say that this is a just prologue; it flat out ends with "To Be Continued". And sadly, this is actually better than if the ending of the film was actually intended to be the real ending, because it this was truly the end, it would be Dexter levels of bad.
This is badly acted, badly scripted, massively padded nonsense. And not even fun nonsense. Steer clear.
