I watched this without knowing anything about it. I was on two lists I was working on so I decided to just watch it completely blind. The lists being Independent and Sci-Fi movies. I didn't know what to expect, but I surely did not expect this.
A group of people, sitting in a room, talking. For 1 hour 23 minutes. About the idea of a man that didn't age or die for 14,000 years. The other people with him are scholars, smart people with fitting knowledge.
People sitting in a room and talking is probably one of my favorite genres (if what they are talking about is well written and acted) which I think is the case in this movie. I had my eyes glued to the screen, it was just super interesting.
I have no idea why I never hear anybody talk about it, since it's a well made movie with a unique idea. Also there is a sequel coming out this year (but to be honest it doesn't sound as good as this one).
I only had some issues with the ending because I would have honestly preferred an open end, leaving us wondering if it was all made up or real, but we get a conclusion that did not really make me happy. Everything else was great though, so I'm rating The Man From Earth 4 out of 5 stars.
