MCT:July 3, 2008From the original writer of the twilight zone comes this unique tale of the unknown. The movie starts as a group of friends get together as the principal character gets ready to move to pastures new. What starts off as a simple night becomes a step into the unknown as the principal character tells his friends an extraordinary secret. He is a Cro-Magnon being who has lived of thousands if not millions of years. But soon disbelief turns to anger and hatred as the friends finds what he?s saying hard to swallow. Is he really a being who has lived for more than a millennium or is he simply a great storyteller? You as the watcher are also drawn into the story and slowly you begin to believe what is being said even if the other characters in the film do not. The performances are strong and never boring as the whole truth is revealed and you get knocked for six. I mean how would you feel if your friend told you that he was?.. Well I leave that for you to find out. This and Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the Crystal skull are both along the same lines? It depends on what you believe. If you are sceptical then you won?t enjoy either of them but if you have some belief you will enjoy these films. There are lots of things we don?t know or understand but what if, just what if certain things were true. What if Roswell was true? What if what we were told wasn?t true actually was? What if the truth was kept away from us for decades on the sole purpose of that it would be too much for us?
However things take a twist when the truth is to be revealed John lies and keeps the truth a secret. Why? That?s because no-one would believe it that?s why.
But then the payoff comes and only the viewer finds out the real reason behind the story, none of the characters ever find out. Sadly I can?t tell you what it is, that you have to find out for yourself. I must say you should watch this film as after it you will feel enlightened. Tony Todd and William Katt shine in their performances as do David Lee Smith as the principal character John and John Billingsley which help draw the watcher into this story and then bring the startling revelation before your very eyes. Katt does well as the biker bound sceptical friend who believes that John is just plain nuts and Todd does a great job of being the friend who believes that it could be possible. The man from Earth is a light-hearted movie with a message: Don?t judge what you don?t understand. -

My main complaint is with the production values. The dvd looked horrible on my 1080p.
A man tells his friends he's 14,000 years old at his going away party. Who can believe him? Why should he care?
Set in a single room, this movie could have been shot for a figure in the low $1000s. -
MCT:June 22, 2008What a brilliant movie. It shows that much can be done without special effects. Just some talking heads, but it keeps your attention all the way.

MCT:June 14, 2008While the movie was not mainstream, it offered a very intriguing story and good actors. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to be challenged in thought.

Got an eerie feeling that I am watching Star Trek from time to time... later on I got to know why from Wikipedia.
