Movies like this are the reason I watch movies. The film doesn't promise you anything, and the plot sounds kind of silly. It even starts out a little weak, but it draws you in and doesn't let go, and by the end you don't even care that you just watched a movie that all took place in a small room. Amazing film.

This is one of the best stories I have ever heard, hands down. I loved it the way it is, and after the 4th or 5th time watching it I start to imagine how epic a remake with flashbacks would be. This is definitely a world I want to see come to life.

Yeah, this is science fiction at his best. The fact that the entire movie plays inside a living room that there are no special effects and that all they do is talk does not make this a bad movie. With the right cast and script it could be good and in this movie they played it out to perfection. The director made the right choice by doing it this way. any other way would have failed miserably. The idea that one man could live thousands of years wandering around the world meeting historical people and being someone that made a huge impact on the world himself is inspiring.

So simple premise executed so brilliantly.

Infrequently, I have the desire to see a movie done as a stage play, because my background is in theatre and I can't help it. This story is perfect for the stage!

Excelent movie, possibly the best written story I've ever witnessed. They never actually show any of the things he says and that makes for a very good psychologic-drama-fasty movie. even though there are almost no special effects one of the best movies out there. Definitely worth a watch. So interesting to watch and listen to his story... truely amazing.

Completely original story and extremely clever! I loved this simple film.

This movie was one of the better ones I have seen in a while. It was obviously a low budget, direct to DVD film but the dialog was quite compelling. No special effects and filmed with 2 cameras. Great film.

Amazing story! A lot of big productions could learn from such a simple, yet very good movie. The dialogues could've been better but it's still worthy of high praise.

The best ever script for a sci-fi (not only) movie. Who cares if the acting is mediocre, if the production is poor and if the whole movie is shooted in a room?! If the script is clever, flawless and scientific correct nothing else matters. An oasis between the script trash

This film is reviewed as anything from a cult classic to complete tripe. A $200,000.00 production that has all the feel of a stage play, with three set pieces. Reactions have been from "bored" to "brilliant". It was so wordy that I fell asleep but, then, upon waking, I watched what I had missed (I don't review things I haven't completed). I'm going to take the middle road. It has the feel of a writers' room, spitballing on a movie premise. It pulls from a speculative understanding of both science and religion, and, depending on which you worship, it will eventually offend devotees of either. It gets knocked for poor acting but I disagree. The actors were faithful to their characters and the tone of the piece. It just didn't knock my socks off as good or bad, so I give this film a 5 (meh) out of 10. [Science Fiction]

Honestly. Am I supposed to be shocked or jarred into introspection every time an author questions the existence of God, the marital status of Jesus, or the validity of the Christian faith in one of his stories!?!

This movie actually starts out promisingly enough. A professor makes a claim to a group of friends (who happen to be professors themselves) that he is a 14,000 year old caveman. The intimacy of the cabin where they meet and the conversation in such close quarters made for some nice dialogue. But the actors were stiff and the characters that they portrayed were insufferably brilliant educators.

As the main character makes his case about being alive for centuries, he also states that he is actually Jesus. This is presumably because revealing himself as any other biblical or historical figure doesn't carry quite as much pizzazz. Why the story takes this turn is beyond me.

The ending is interesting but doesn't require the main character to be the Son of God, other than to suggest that Jesus was just a regular guy that's really really old.
