SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I ORIGINS- 65%
This story is absolutely breathtaking, however, I feel like the story, the structure, and the actors could have done so much more.
Story wise and execution: 30/35
Acting: 14.2/25
Camera work: 11.2/20
Sound: 10/20

Can't tell you how amazing the whole movie is. Amazing story, people, amazing directing, good music choices, even the lights in the film... The feelings after I saw are beyond expression! Not for everyone though. :)

Well first off, the acting is superb. Michael Pitt is one of the most underrated actors out there, he's terrific as always. Astrid Berges- Frisbey is amazing as the free spirited girl that we all want to attain. Her character reminds one of Kate Winslet's character in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Brit Marling is good as the 'safe' choice. However, Marling is a great actress, and has been better. The chemistry between Pitt and Frisbey though is amazing. The passion is right there as we have all felt that kind of passion in a relationship or two, or within a deep dream we've had. Cahill writes such a magnificent script, a great writer he is. He puts such amazing and thought provoking analogies(touching on butterfly effect, reincarnation, miracles, destiny, God, etc.) in this film without compromising the film itself i.e. the film is never contrived in any of the analogies that are used where in a lesser film trying to use analogies like Cahill did would come off contrived. As the film says, you can't prove it, but you can't disprove it. What a wild and food for thought concept that we could be reincarnated and the eyes could be the proof. The iris recognition only recognizes (as far as we know) maybe 5 million or more people in the world. Out of those people who knows whose eyes might or might not come up as someone else's who died(and if they did, we would never hear about it, it would be kept under wraps). But just imagine if 7 billion people had the iris recognition, who knows who may or may not have someone else's eyes and indeed be reincarnated. Absolutely brilliant, brilliant! Again, Like the character says 'you can't prove it, but you can't disprove it either.' After the credits roll, there is an extra scene that provides more food for thought, however I could have done without this scene, in a way it kind of took a little bit away from the magic and mysticism of this film, but at the same time it wasn't too bad either as it was interesting and could have been true as well as Iris Recognition first began(they say) in the late 1920's. Mike Cahill directed and wrote a beauty here, his opus. I Origins is a wonderful, beautiful film that is most definitely worth watching.

The idea is good, the filming is good but there it ends for I origin...acting was poor and there were way too many holes in the plot and unbelievable moments.-Nurse saying when this happens you just do it again...so it happened before??? -So you reboot a system and then a database match that was found before isn't found anymore...strange. -A teacher who hasn't seen a girl for months remembers the details of her eye? -A 7-year old street-child sees the eyes and knows they her's -No security system in an elevator? -the made up reason he doesn't want to take the elevator with the girl the first time -You get name with a database match but the owner of the database company can't see the names? -The fact that they can give a worm light-sensitive cells triggers an iris scanning-industry??I can go on and oncommon, it is beyond believable and it destroys the movie...too bad
