A great premise, but the acting is barely "movie of the week" quality and that ruins the story's big revelation. Oh, what could have been.

"a talking snake made a lady eat an apple, so we're screwed." oh man. haha. Mr. Bixby has just made a fan. awesome writing and the acting isn't nearly as bad as anyone's implied. most characters are sincerely believable and very diverse personalities are easily evident. not flashy. just a visual adaptation of some very good writing. if you're looking for something with a lot of depth, this is it.

A strong premise and good script help this rise above its micro budget and patchy acting.

very low budget, terrible directing, below-average acting yet one of the most engaging and interesting sci-fi stories I`ve ever seen... Brilliant script written very cleverly with wonderful twists at the exact right moments...I was in that room 5 minutes ago...and I believe him:)

Swietny scenariusz, az by sie chcialo przeczytac ksiazke... ...tylko ze to tylko scenariusz... ...szkoda.

The idea is the only interesting thing about this film.

Shit, I love all the bit-part actors they used in this movie. It's just a dude telling a story but it's 10 times as captivating as a typical big-budget sci-fi movie. Good stuff.

I really liked this movie. It had some very interesting ideas and did a lot with very little. Low budget and not one quality actor and yet it was still very entertaining. You can see the low budget in every shot which keeps it from being truly amazing but for what it is it's impressive.

It's stunning in its way of taking you along for the ride, completely wiping out the bounds of realism and surrealism and adding philosophical themes. The acting is formidable and the sudden lights-on really sweeps you off your feet and makes you guess again.

Low budget is NO excuse for this overwrought and poorly acted kammerspiel (compare this to 'Primer'); the kind they love in theatres. A professor pimps his goodbye party by revealing that he's 14.000 years old. Excellent dental hygiene! His colleagues are shocked, angered and confused, apparently to the point where they are incapable of asking intelligent questions (how 'bout insisting on a picture..). The end is fumbled by Schenkman, whose earlier work includes playboy-videos. Stupid as hell.

Very entertaining low budget sci-fi. The performances are solid enough, with some familar faces who are so often bit-part players in other movies doing very well, & the concept is fun & intriguing. Most of all however this film manages to remain interesting, thought provoking & sporadically controversial in its nature. The script does occasionally fluctuate from the simply brilliant to the slightly clumsy, but no matter, this remains a rare piece of satisfying charactor based sci-fi.

Sweet Jesus, this is a good script.

A fascinating movie that explores some very interesting ideas. A lot has been said about the acting, but it's very split. Tony Todd & David Lee Smith both give fantastic performances (the best I've ever seen from Todd,) but some of the other acting is lacking places (which can in part be attributed to the one-dimensional way in which most of the other characters are written.) I would love to see this adapted into a play; I can see this story having some real legs in that medium.

Saw this movie cold. A cerebral Sci-Fi, all dialouge. Liked it, with reservations. 1) Casting: The concept would have been better served with a different cast. Not necessarily a-listers, but better actors. 2) The ending is contrived. If you remove the last 10 minutes to leave the audiance guessing, I'll add 10 points. 3) Quit lumping religious people together as ignorant. The one religious character is unsympathetically played by Crawford. (evilchaser is SPOT-ON! would make a better play!)

A decent stage play, shot on film. Not much "moviemaking," but a good script/

The acting starts out absolutely horrible but after a while you get use to it. The dialogue is somewhat pretentious, meaning they sound like they speak at a depth but talk of nothing that will make you use your brain. I'm sorry to say there is no extraordinary ideas pictured in the movie. But it's OK to watch and it passes the time without pain.

This Movie shows: A Good story is all you need.

It was good, not the best movie in technical ways, and the acting wasn't always amazing, but the premise was fantastic. The weight of research that must've gone into this film is heavy, and equally interesting, although it might seem sac-religious to some christians, 9/10

Great script.
