Mike Massie Gone With The Twins As far as heady sci-fi projects go, this might be the least traditional of them all. Rated: 7/10 Nov 26, 2020 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews An intriguing cerebral psychological sci-fi yarn. Rated: A- Jul 12, 2016 Full Review Andrew L. Urban Urban Cinefile A unique blend of theology, biological fantasy and mind games Feb 20, 2009 Full Review Mark R. Leeper rec.arts.movies.reviews Very probably will be one of the best science fiction films of this decade. It really deserves to be seen. Rated: 9/10 Sep 15, 2008 Full Review David Cornelius eFilmCritic.com It's that rare film that rewards inquisitiveness. Rated: 4/5 Nov 21, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Jim B I really enjoyed this. Fun premise, couple twists I didn't see coming. If "12 Angry Men" had a love child with "Highlander" it'd be something like this. Definitely worth watching. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Tyler S Fantastic. That's what I have to say about this. While I'll admit, somethings just sounded corny, but it still worked. The dynamic was beautiful. Characters were intriguing and the story was so smooth. Even just the last 10 minutes took me by surprise. Wonderful film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Teresa H I was RIVETED from start to finish. The acting is superb. I was about to crawl out of my skin with excitement. Intellectual sci fi at its finest. I absolutely hung on every word. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review David K Started out reasonably enough and was a very intriguing premise but then goes straight into a story direction about the nation character's identify that is so ridiculous as to destroy the whole premise in my opinion. There was another extremely obvious way to take the story to get to the same basic place that would not have diminished the power of the story at all (and would not have lead to an even sillier sequel 10 years later based largely upon that ridiculous premise). These movies could have been so much better and I can't understand why this movie is rated so highly here. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Brady T I approached The Man from Earth with a lot of skepticism after catching a brief clip on TikTok. However, I’m so glad I gave it a chance. Since my first viewing, I’ve watched it four more times—it’s easily become one of my all-time favorite movies. The concept of someone living for thousands of years is absolutely fascinating, and the way the story unfolds is nothing short of brilliant. It sparks so many thoughts and ideas, taking my mind to places no other movie has. Unlike many modern films that feel more like escapism, this one truly makes you think. It’s an incredibly thought-provoking and captivating experience that I’d recommend everyone watch at least once. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Caleb D Before seeing this movie, I thought it was impossible to make a top-tier science fiction thriller on a shoestring budget. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
