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.

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.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

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.

A really predictably boring film - badly acted and very unconvincing premise .Don’t waste your time with this film - watching paint dry would be more entertaining!

I made it through about 20 seconds of this movie. It looks exactly as amateur as I expected it to.
