November 8, 2009it was a very enticing, thought provoking and extremely immersive experience for me. an awesome work of fiction!!
-
November 5, 2009I have complained many times before about unnecesary over stylization, but here the case is quite the contrary, as happens with that sensationalistic and pseudo intellectual dogma movement, there is nothing interesting in its mise en scene, no storytelling skill whatsoever displa...( read more)

October 5, 2009This movie is a great piece of science fiction and it kicks Christianity right in the nuts, so its really good.
-
October 5, 2009Interesting enough story about a man who reveals to his friends just before moving that he was a cave-man and has never died. His professor colleagues debate and question the validity of his story in this film that would fare better I believe on the stage. The entire movie take...( read more)

September 12, 2009I loved the premise of this movie. Typically, I prefer movies that take me to new places and this one did, in the mind. A man is having a going away party and drops a bombshell on his collegues. He's 14000 years old!!! Do you believe him? Can you believe him? The ending was also ...( read more)

September 6, 2009Interesting but a bit claustrophobic and talky. Clever story and excellent as a character study. For the most part it's well acted. Thought provoking but I didn't find it particularly memorable.
-
August 30, 2009An interesting movie that I think would work better in novel form than on the screen. It's a lot of talking and while the cast does a good job it tends to get a little slow at points. I started to lose interest in the story when it moved into a much bigger plot of how the chara...( read more)

August 12, 2009This sounds interesting and intriguing. I'd like to see this film. One of my favorite Soap Opera actresses, Alexis Thorpe, from Days Of Our Lives is in it so i want to see if for her too.

August 3, 2009Wonderful, a masterpiece! A very stimulating intellectual exercise, filled with fast-paced, clever comments and some unexpected twists... and above all a fascinating premise. Undoubtedly an instant favorite for me.
-
July 31, 2009This was a great movie. It was nothing like what I thought. I pictured heavy sci-fi, like a Highlander clone. It was a great story, and fascinating idea.
-
July 28, 2009superb thinking....though I liked it OK.....
I guess this is d only sci-fi moovi tats finished with in a room... :) -
July 18, 2009Excellent, cerebral movie. I saw it twice in two days and still missed somethings. "... a man can't be ahead of the best of the race"
-
June 28, 2009interesting concept, this has a cool feel to it challenging science and religion at the same time. there are a few things that keep this from being really good though. one it really comes off as a made for tv movie with the filming and most of the acting, and two they really puss...( read more)

June 6, 2009woww - a film that really makes you think. I loved it and I'm sure several ideas in this film will haunt me for days to come. Highly recommendable.

May 24, 2009In some aspects, it´s an anti-film. Conceived as a sofa-discussion, in some momentos the reactions of characters -actors do good, but you can see they are not enormous ones- are more academical than real. However, it´s a strong script, everything is well justified, intelligently ...( read more)

May 17, 2009Great science fiction without the 'sci-fi'. In fact, the whole film could easily be done on a stage. It dragged a bit long on the topic of religion, but it's a great premise.
-
April 30, 2009Good Movie, But it Falls Short In Convinving Me Of The Man From Centuries Past!!
-
April 25, 2009An impromptu goodbye party for Professor John Oldman becomes a mysterious interrogation after the retiring scholar reveals to his colleagues he is an immortal who has walked the earth for 14,000 years.

April 23, 2009THIS IS ACTUALLY A GOOD FILM - WATCH IT {OPENS A WHOLE NEW VIEW ON THINGS}

April 4, 2009A SCI FI FILM that takes place in a room.
Hmmm could that be interesting.
Y E S . it is!!!
It is really amazing how they put the whole movie in a location and let the charcaters non stop talking... but it worked! It really worked.
A great experimental film. -

March 22, 2009A great movie all dialogue. No frills just great story telling. Grabs you and drags you in.

February 27, 2009When acting is so bad it actually hurts and directing is as amateuristic as if I'd directed it, you'll think that the movie sucks completely. But no, here the brilliant script saves the day. A sci-fi film with absolutely no visual effects, just a conversation among friends. It so...( read more)

January 20, 2009Brilliant sci-fi/fantasy/concept film that grips the viewer and literally forces him/her to actually think and listen since the entire movie is nothing more than a discussion between a group of college professors. Oh...but what a premise!! Wether you believe the story being told...( read more)

January 5, 2009This is a great movie for people who want to think, there's no special effects, no cool and freaky guys in costumes, just one man and his friends, talking.
-
January 3, 2009The acting was horrible and so was the dialogue. So bad it was, I turned it off after about 2 minutes. I went back to it though, and although they are totally sucky, the plot is interesting enough to keep it going. It was VERY talky, but I think David Lee Smith was probably the o...( read more)
