Sorry, this movie sucks
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Rosie Searle
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This was made from a great concept. A concept which will blow your mind. The Man from Earth means the creator of mankind. not the God. the reason for human existence. Atheists all around the world will love this film. The whole movie is about just a discussion between a group of university lecturers. The budget is only 200,000$, I think it's just for the payment of the actors. The best low budget movie I've ever seen. The Man from Earth will blow your mind for sure. Trust me.

I don't know about you, but the first thing I would do if I meet a 14,000 y/o man is blast him in the face with a shotgun to see if he'd live. Or, at the very least, I'd jump on his back to experience his cat like reflexes. Because one thing I've always know about cavemen is that they are damn fast and damn strong. Like when I was a kid and I knew that He-Man really could run at near the speed of light because of all those muscles.We are hit like a Mack truck with the dumbest scene of the movie a mere three minutes in: we see him tossing a $10,000,000 Van Gogh into the back of his truck like it's a trash bag of clothes being donated to Goodwill. Logically, we'd assume that he ages normally, but at a very slow rate, so that 400 yrs to us would only be one yr to him. He'd be an infant for like 500 yrs. This isn't what happened, tho. We are told he ages normally to the age of 42 then, inexplicably, he just stops aging. Why? Because of the delicious water, nutritious food, and sweet mountain air. Ummm...I always thought that prehistoric man drank swamp water, scavenged for food, and burned everything in sight for warmth. Not exactly holistic living. Then, like the last car in a pile up, we discover that he is indeed still fertile after all these yrs and has produced a child, who just so happens to be in this very room. We are then treated to the corniest scene in cinematic history: upon learning that this man is his father he clutches at his chest and dies (because this is how heart attacks work, you die instantaneously). Why did he believe him so assuredly? Because like every TV show from my childhood, the simplest way to test somebody's authenticity is to query them on the name of your family dog.I actually thought the whole Jesus thing was an interesting concept, it was the reaction of the ppl around him that was stupid. If had just discovered I had been banging Cleopatra I wouldn't stop grinning for a week. His gf, tho? Apparently she has stage 10 autism because she has what amounts to a total non-reaction. The drama between them is that he has broken up with her. The movie closes with Oldman and his detached gf driving off into the darkness. Are these two love birds going to make it work? Or, is he just giving her a lift to the nearest bus stop?Thought provoking indeed.

Together with my girlfriend I have watched this movie. A very compelling story that is logically correct, I couldn't spot any obvious reasoning mistakes.A braintwister for those who enjoy an intellectual debate. This movie shows that you don't need Hollywood blockbuster money to make an interesting film.Absolutely worth watching.

When you've seen a movie an untold number of times you know you're hooked. I am hooked on this movie for so many reasons. I've never really come across anything like it. Eight actors, in one location talking about whether or not a man is 14,000 years old. The way it grabs you in from a very early stage and intrigues you with the very thought of it.The actors for me do a superb job of keeping your interest in the subject. Some parts feel a little wooden but I liked the line-up chosen for the movie and I think they worked well together to keep you intrigued. You can relate to the reactions of any one of them, or you are enticed to draw your own conclusion on how you would react, but you are encouraged to make your decisions on the topics and revelations that arise.As well as the wonderful acting, the enticing storyline by Jerome Bixby, I love the music arrangement from Mark Hinton Stewart. The music for me supports the scenes beautifully.All in all, a great sci-fi movie, and without one hint of CGI anywhere. This is one I will continue to watch for a very long time. Love it.
