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.

It is quite boring given the subject matter. Better cast, a bit more money, and there was an interesting film in the making, this picture remains inert.

Boring and pompous. Only gets the high ratings from “ Right-On” critics because it attacks faith. Nonsensical, low budget tosh

Good thing I was high for this! What even was that? It’s strangely memorable, mostly for its sheer uniqueness. It feels less like a movie and more like a play, though, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s an intriguing thought experiment. I’m pretty sure this is the kind of movie made for a very niche crowd who enjoys philosophy and logic games. But honestly, I kinda liked it.

It's hard to believe that someone could live that long and be so boring and uninspiring. Box ticking historical events is no substitute for the immense accumulated knowledge and insight you would expect from someone who has been around for thousands of years. Very unconvincing...
