The Man from Earth: Holocene (2017)
Lots of potential, an enjoyable revisit to a great story
This sequel to The Man From Earth was enjoyable extension to the original story. They bring some new things to the table and I liked how some of the original cast shows up. Its sort of a turning point in Johns life, a turn that we know has happened before but not for a long time. And they begin to address the issue of growing technology for a person like that. I think everyone was left wondering what life was like for John after the first movie. And here we get to see a glimpse of that.
Admittedly it came off as a made for tv movie, but for me that's OK! Its an independent film where I think you need to focus more on the content and ideas than the exact execution. I want to give it an 8 or 9 for my own pleasure in discovering and watching it but as a movie experience its not there.
While I enjoyed it a lot there were many areas it could be improved. The acting was great at times and not so great at times. Sometimes the plot didn't quite make sense, what the characters say in a few crucial scenes seems out of the blue. There is a major shift that to me just didn't feel in line with the rest of the movie. At least in terms of the characters. But over all its well worth a watch if you liked the first one. I hope they keep making them, and perhaps it will be a series that improves with time if more movies are made.
The Man from Earth (2007)
A psychological journey into anthropology - A modern casual Interview With the Vampire
This movie is an amazing experience. To me it has the same feel as interview with the vampire, a story of history and experiences over the ages. But the story is told amongst college professors parting ways. If you are interested in anthropology, history, literature, then you will enjoy the experience. Its just one of those movies that takes you for the ride you've been looking for. A fantasy we all imagine.
This is an independent project so don't expect it to be a blockbuster. It doesn't have special effects it doesn't have a top rated music score. You will know the actors, several of them are very popular but again they are not blockbuster actors.
What it has is an excellent story taking you down the rabbit hole. A moment between friends suddenly realizing something absolutely incredible that right in front of them. If I can sum it up in one sentence, its a B movie with an A movie story idea
