The acting ranges from good to spotty, the lighting is pretty bad at certain points and it's clearly shot on a shoe string budget. But I'll be damned if I wasn't completely captivated by the premise. The idea, the concept, is just flat out memorizing. Even if you don't like it you simply have to keep watching to find out more. If you've got an attention span that will allow you to simply watch people talk about a terribly interesting premise for two hours you owe it to yourself to see this.

Such a captivating story that at this point I don't really care if it's got any merits as a film. Some might find certain parts of it dull, and the ending is a bit on the boring side, but that doesn't take anything away from the intriguing story and the fascinating arguments.

A very stupid film filled with undergradute level of information about the history of civilization. John's declaring himself Jesus was the final blow to the story. The so very unbelievable professors were quite funny. Overall, this is one of the most overrated films ever.

As you would expect with a low-budget film, there's no special effects and very little by way of sets. A film forced to keep the viewer interested using only its dialog-heavy script - and boy does it! An interesting concept explored in-depth with acting which, aside from a couple of hokey moments, is decent enough to make you forget you're watching a shoestring flick. It's cerebral, thought provoking and, at times, downright controversial; just like any good sci-fi should be.

What an aggravating film! A for concept, but D for execution The acting is sub-par throughout (except for Tony Todd). The script feels unnatural, so that doesn't help. The 'professors' are peddling pseudo-intellectual claptrap. Most of them are unlikable and, fucking hell, outright stupid. And so, so many things make no sense. I wanted to like this. I really did, and on some level I like bits of it, tiny bits.

While the directing is lacking (the zero budget shows), the brilliance of this movie is in the writing. The reactions of the characters to John's story felt so real. Just the right amount of skepticism is presented to keep the viewer connected to the premise. All the logical questions are asked and many interesting concepts are discussed. I felt like I was in the room with these people hearing John's unbelievable story. One of the most engaging and thought provoking movies I've ever seen.

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.

As a thought experiment this was really interesting. For 2/3 of the film everything is actually plausible, given the central premise. After that it collapses for an educated Christian. That a guy could come into 1st century Palestine preaching Buddhist philosophy and get pegged as the Jewish Messiah is laughable. The ignorant (or deceptive) and offensive assumptions that pervade most of the latter part of the film reveal another filmmaker's attempt to discredit Judeo-Christian faith.

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.

Proof that a compelling concept and interesting characters trump shoddy craftsmanship. Yes, the acting is spotty and the camerawork and lighting are mediocre. Its budget is apparent, but because of the general simplicity these faults aren't very distracting. It's not very cinematic, but the ideas presented through a single conversation provide the movie with more than enough kinetic energy. Truly fascinating and thoughtful.

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 great concept horribly executed. The acting is forced, and the direction is so mis-paced it's very understandable why some might turn it off halway through. Nothing whatsoever of note happens in the first 45 minutes and then all the interesting stuff is rushed through at the end with no exploration of the implications. This film will leave you very unsatisfied and with the feeling that it could have been so much more that it was a horrible waste.

A fascinating, well-considered premise is developed in interesting ways; it's to Schenkman and his cast's credit that this single room gabfest remains compelling and involving for its entire duration. If the ultimate resolution feels a little shaggy Bobby Ewing-ish, the thought experiment that forms its basis still provides considerable food for thought. Largely unknown cast are all fine, with veteran Riehle's "doubting Thomas" standing out.

A college professor is stepping down and his friends give him a farewell party. He reveals that he isn't who they think he is. I hate this movie. It's nothing but people sitting in a room and talking. This is fine if they are talking about something, but they are not. This feels like a movie that thinks it's about deep concepts. It's about a guy explaining how he's the caveman Forrest Gump.

This explores some really great ideas, and the story is really well presented and interesting, but I believe they should have explored the Buddhism in greater detail. I personally would have changed John to be more at ease with himself, a sort of inner peace and joy as seen in many Buddhists or other important religious figures. The script and ideas are fascinating, but you can't help but imagine that the idea might be best portrayed through a book.

Some 8.0 rated films on IMDB: Rocky, Jaws, The Graduate. So who the f*k snuck this one up there. At first it's a tasteful and fun little intellectual exercise, then it begins to second guess itself before jumping the shark at precisely the halfway point. Consistency points though, for being technically low budget terrible throughout. It must be cool to like Jerome Bixby or something.

I heard people talking about how poor the acting was, that the film doesn't offer anything but talking in one single room, but does it always have to be more than that? This film is proof that you can make a (in my opinion) wonderful film without millions of dollars. Great story that didn't let me go, and this from second 1. The dialogues are of such level that you get sucked into it, only to be released when the film finishes in a (maybe not superb but) decent ending.

The budget was just enough to rent a building and a couple of decent C-list actors. However it manages to rise above its production value to the level of excellent film-making, just through the magnitude of its ideas and the twists in the conversation. Almost all the credit goes to Bixby's story, which has stuck around in my mind longer than I expected.

I like the way it feels absolutely sci-fi not only without any special effect, but without anything 'touchable' outside their conversation. It's too theatrical (I think in fact, watching this in live action on stage must be great), so there's nothing we can expect technically (nothing!), this movie belongs to screenwriter and actors. I didn't found it so original as some did and it has some flaws, but it's self-concious, catching and absolutely deserves the try (and some think after watching).

Great idea, intelligent development, but the characters talk like a B-movie, the actors are often clumsy and amateurish, there is a "moody music" in the background that is annoying, picture sometimes overly grainy or blurred, and female characters annoying and stupid.

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 in 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.

All things considered it should be seen as a successful film. They essentially had no budget which equals less than ideal production value and mediocre actors. The idea and story itself is enough to keep you watching and it's basically the perfect length.

An absolutely great premise and a few drafts away from a stellar screenplay. The Man From Earth himself is actually a pretty decent actor, but outside of that the acting is pretty lackluster and the production value here is heartbreakingly low. The conversation is really on fire whenever it teases the intellect but it's never that emotionally incisive. This is my contender for the movie best suited for a remake. Imagining this being remade by someone like Richard Linklater!!

I really enjoyed this movie. No action, no special effects, just a great story and good acting. Definitely worth a watch.

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.

Only a few technical details keep me from giving this movie a higher score. It's not only one of the best science fiction films I've seen, it's just one of the best.

Just like 12 angry men, there are guys in room. You're becoming one of them. Dont need high-cost scene technics to make a good movie. If the story excellent, the movie is watched itself.

Very successful science fiction story without a single special effect. This could be done as a stageplay very easily. David Lee Smith is very convincing, and as always Tony Todd is fun to watch.

Low budgt, thought-provoking film. Not a huge fan of the whole religion thing, but it sure gives you a lot to think about. The writing is pretty good, but the acting is mostly weak. Would love to see similar concepts in films.

Fascinating setup that suffers less from the non-existent budget than from giving the story just one turn too many. The hamfisted direction (dear gods, the music cues) doesn't help. But points for an original idea and for mostly pulling off a movie about people talking for 90 minutes.

Starts pretty well with and interesting set up and terrible acting but understandable for a low budget movie, but then the plot became idiotic and frustratingly obvious, focusing in the least interesting part of the story and was hard for me to finish it

Indeed an interesting low budget film! The concept itself is genious, and I like the idea og putting my self in a situation like this. What question would you ask? Would you believe him? But for me it has a clear weaknes; it goes a "little bit too far" in the end, and the acting is horrible at times...
