As far as heady sci-fi projects go, this might be the least traditional of them all.

Very probably will be one of the best science fiction films of this decade. It really deserves to be seen.

Before seeing this movie, I thought it was impossible to make a top-tier science fiction thriller on a shoestring budget.

A pleasure to watch. Great script. Great acting. Simple and refreshing. Nice easter eggs that made me smile!

This is a movie for history geeks. For me, it is quite cringe, as if a group of historians got together and started a nerdy conversation about how would it be if a caveman survived for 14000 years, and then thought "hey what if this was a movie" Acting is stiff and absurd.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Uninspiring acting without any worth mentioning it. Poor production and even discuss through out the movie looks like some lectures and/or remiscense of a lecture. Boring. Boring. Boring.

No fun at all. None of the characters are interesting, The main character never reveals his 14,000 years of knowledge and wisdom, just that he happened to be at all the important world events; even Christs crucifixion and resurrection - as Christ himself! Lacks any redeeming value, zero level of entertainment even.

One star for clever bits. Premise is ridiculous. Acting and dialog cause brain damage. Production is super low budget. I endured to the end and regretted it.
