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.

An extremely low-budget, imagination-dependent work of ambitious science fiction, this is a textbook example of substance over style. Set at the farewell after-party for a beloved college professor, it picks up just as the departing prof announces to a small gathering of colleagues that he's been al More

I'd like to invite you to **believe the hype**. This movie is very well written and simply great. Keeps you at the edge of your seat and doesn't fail to amaze you till its very last second.

A great idea for a movie developed in a witty script. Well done and with a decent cast.

Perfect for being played also in the theaters or watched under the blanket at home.

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!

Maybe that statement is a little facetious, but I feel it is true. I read **_AMAZING_** reviews for this film. I went in with high hopes, expecting a well acted, thoughtful, existential and quiet science fiction film.

Instead I saw a film so poor I wondered what's t More
