zach K @zachkleinman 5 days ago My favorite movie of all time See more Nobody S @RT79467188 Aug 3, 2026 Absolutely incredible! One of the best movies I've ever seen. Everything works perfectly. The atmosphere, absence of a soundtrack, dialog, cast... perfection personified! See more Sam S @RT58073707 Jul 9, 2026 First of all, if I could I would rate this below a zero. This movie genuinely had no point and was the same thing over and over again. Every single line from John OLDMAN (the stupidest name ever) was a one liner where he was either looking at the ground while saying or staring out into the distance staring. I get it was a small studio and it wasn’t a traditional movie but you can’t have a whole 1.5 hour movie of people talking with one liners in a single room. The idea of a guy being 14,000 years old is really an interesting plot idea but this movie executed it horribly. It was not a fun watch, I was urging to punch the tv off the wall after John Oldman killed his son. Why did this happen at the end of the movie when it maybe could’ve kept me engaged if it was in the middle of it?? The only reason I finished this movie is because I thought there just HAD to be a point and climax of it. But there wasn’t. This movie sucked mega balls, PS: why was there a guy dating his student??

Most of the film is their conversation in one room. I started watching to get an idea of what indie films are like on Tubi, intending to sample 10 minutes and getting drawn in for the full length. Excellent concept and script. Excellent ensemble acting. Labelling this as "sci-fi" is an exercise in lateral thinking. This "sci-fi" is Biology intersecting with Archeology, History, Philosophy and Religion. See more Hao Ian L @HaOiAn Jun 2, 2026 A philosophical and existential 12 Angry Men that is self-indulgent and way less engaging or entertaining than its inspiration, with subpar acting that didn't help with the case either. See more Phil O @RT37675773 May 22, 2026 I truly do not understand some of the negative reviews here. Firstly it is NOT SF, it's a study about human learning and the rise of myths, put to the test with an audience of highly educated experts. If it were trying to be a SF film it would spend much more time delving into the aspect of longevity and how it happened - to me it's clear that we are to take this as read, he is a freak of nature and the biologist merely hints at the possibility, allowing us to move on to the main event. What follows is the biggest ‘what if’ ever conceived and herein lies the film’s brilliance. Historians and archaeologists spend their entire lives trying to figure out ‘what really happened’ .. this guy can tell them and boy does he, exploding many myths along the way. The poignant ending is outstanding and says so much about our fragile relationship with time, decay and loss. Sensational film .. in my top 5. See more Read all reviews
