Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

ShangLuda Admirable film.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Robert Joyner 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

terrasilex Loved it.....good chance it will surprise you.....

golfers_r_me I don't know about you, but the first thing I would do if I meet a 14,000 y/o man is blast him in the face with a shotgun to see if he'd live. Or, at the very least, I'd jump on his back to experience his cat like reflexes. Because one thing I've always know about cavemen is that they are damn fast and damn strong. Like when I was a kid and I knew that He-Man really could run at near the speed of light because of all those muscles.We are hit like a Mack truck with the dumbest scene of the movie a mere three minutes in: we see him tossing a $10,000,000 Van Gogh into the back of his truck like it's a trash bag of clothes being donated to Goodwill. Logically, we'd assume that he ages normally, but at a very slow rate, so that 400 yrs to us would only be one yr to him. He'd be an infant for like 500 yrs. This isn't what happened, tho. We are told he ages normally to the age of 42 then, inexplicably, he just stops aging. Why? Because of the delicious water, nutritious food, and sweet mountain air. Ummm...I always thought that prehistoric man drank swamp water, scavenged for food, and burned everything in sight for warmth. Not exactly holistic living. Then, like the last car in a pile up, we discover that he is indeed still fertile after all these yrs and has produced a child, who just so happens to be in this very room. We are then treated to the corniest scene in cinematic history: upon learning that this man is his father he clutches at his chest and dies (because this is how heart attacks work, you die instantaneously). Why did he believe him so assuredly? Because like every TV show from my childhood, the simplest way to test somebody's authenticity is to query them on the name of your family dog.I actually thought the whole Jesus thing was an interesting concept, it was the reaction of the ppl around him that was stupid. If had just discovered I had been banging Cleopatra I wouldn't stop grinning for a week. His gf, tho? Apparently she has stage 10 autism because she has what amounts to a total non-reaction. The drama between them is that he has broken up with her. The movie closes with Oldman and his detached gf driving off into the darkness. Are these two love birds going to make it work? Or, is he just giving her a lift to the nearest bus stop?Thought provoking indeed.

dariansdad Is that too simple? Maybe. But, this film brings up questions that I've never heard before and discusses possible answers in a medium that normally chooses to titillate rather than stimulate.Kudos to Jenkins and the team for bringing the book to life on the screen. Although shot on a small budget in virtually one location, it is of no import. The story and the way all the actors immersed into the story was the big sell.I heard about the movie on some site, somewhere and was fascinated by the story and the method of distribution. Turns out that pirates made the this movie popular; popular enough to bring some money around to make a second. I have seen both and you'll have to read my review over there for the rest of the story.I want to watch this again in about three months after I have fully digested it.

Rod Martin Jr This is one of those unexpected treasures you hope to find when you see a movie. Almost entirely shot in one setting, this film about a conversation is better, in my opinion, than My Dinner With Andre (one of my favorites).I love how Bixby (the writer) makes you think. He gives us a superb "What If" and thrusts us into John Oldman's lifelong enigma, a burden he has carried for a very, very long time. How would you handle his problem? This delightful conversation sucks the viewer in and won't let go until you see how the protagonist resolves his problem. This is a film that makes you think and wonder about other possibilities. For that, I remain deeply grateful to Bixby for taking on the challenge. For my fellow Christians, I only hope they have the patience and bravery to consider that there may be things even they don't know for certain. After all, both scientists and the faithful need to remain humble to the Truth, whatever that truth turns out to be.And today, I just saw the sequel. I gave the original 10 stars; the sequel only 2. If you've ever seen the sequel, I think you'll love the original.
