  • hahaha, what a film this is! i just have one question, did the girl knew that he was that old all along? 5/5

  • Let me clear this.John Oldman was born as Caveman, and he have personally know Budu,and he was Jesus, and he also known Hammurabi .The the most stranger fact is that he is 14000 old?

  • One of my favorite movies, the trailer doesn't do it justice...

  • Great story but the low budget stunted the potential for this movie by a lot. One setting and annoying characters questioning for most of the movie is not interesting to watch.

  • Immortality.

    That which we would love to have, but would hate once we have it.

  • our organs have a lifespan of about 180 years. THIS MOVIE is great

  • he said he taught in israel because he didnt like what the romans had become maybe he doesnt like what america has become and he knows whats happened in the past and has learnt from his mistakes ...so to me this is his new last supper and they are his disciples that will spread the word ..... and yeah its only my interpretation of the story so no hate mail please lol

  • this makes me think of a new last supper he knows hes leaving never to come back and has a gathering of his closest friends, hes telling his story taking away some of the rubbish that have clouded his words from the past, hes telling the story to academics who wont blindly belief it and will ask questions and doubt whats been said one of them seems to belief it in the end while the others dont they will spread that story and a new religion overtime may happen , he said he taught in israel cause

  • @00the00virus00 WARNING: don't expect a thumbs up for a witty comment, no matter how witty.

  • Dumbest, most pretentious movie EVER...Yeah right, a man who survived for 14 000 years bla bla bla my ass !

    What a piece of shit seriously.

    The proof that we don't know how to make real good Sci fi movies anymore in the XXI th century...

  • @AlexMoon1492 clearly you dont see the point of this movie

  • @AlexMoon1492 Did you even watch the movie? Aging is faults in the genetics with time, if we had a repair mechanism for dna we wouldn't age, reverse aging is REAL science and we are close to ending aging. It's people like you who tought the world was flat, it's people like you who tought we could never make an air plane.

    The people who believe in the impossible are the reason for all we have.

  • Comment removed

  • @00the00virus00 Yeah Science is so great they can't explain why we were drinking soup in august in Europe and it was as cold as current winter...Keep thinking you know everything and anything about life like if you did create it...I Will keep my beliefs and What i ve seen in this movie is something so pretentious and absurd I could not help but laugh hard...

    And i ve been using my brain more than you will ever use yours kid.

  • @00the00virus00 We're close to ending aging ? That s why people are dying more and more from horrible diseases every single second on this world ?

    It's people like you who are like this guy, arrogant and narrow minded, thinking they've created themselves and do control their life from start to finish...

    Keep living in your science "big bang theory" and "immortals like Highlander" stuff...People like me will stick to HELP POOR People and Study Spirituality...

  • @AlexMoon1492 What the fuck is wrong with you guys, all I was saying is that everything is possible, how is this pretentious? idiots, people like you help the poor? WHAT science helps the poor, without science and technology we would have1% of the food we have today. I never said I knew everything, you are the one saying we can't do this, what do you know of that?

    Do you know anything about science at all? Just stop talking about subjects you know nothing about.

  • @AlexMoon1492 People aren't dying more and more from diseases because of technology you, it's because of politics and overpopulation. Science is good, but stupid and bad people make it bad. Just how the fuck am I narrow minded? When I can open my mind yo this movie, and all you can do is watch the movie and say, GAYY everybody ages, I've never seen anybody live for ever, just because you havent seen it doesn't mean it's not possible.

    Now shut the fuck up.

  • @AlexMoon1492 Study Spirituality... that's cute

  • @00the00virus00 says the scientist?

  • @FantastyckplastycK The hell is wrong with you people?

    Not all movies have to have action and romance, in fact to really be art they have to be thought provoking; if not they're just another way for people to get their adrenaline rush

  • @TJ5897 so the word art is defined as thought provoking eh?!

  • @FantastyckplastycK Oh no, but to be considered good art, it must be thought provoking. Least in terms of movies.

  • Man! How can some one write such a perfect story.. This is more than a favorite movie to me.. Watching this is total luck.

  • i didn't see anytype of action or romance.. ill pass

  • honestly one of my favorite films. pretty much 100% dialogue, but really interesting.

  • Even if he was jesus we would be too stupid to realise it.....

  • its a Good movie :D

  • This movie is Brilliant!

  • Watched this film the other night, It was just terrible, the script for the story line was alright, but the acting was shit and ontop of that who the hell wrote the characters? It's like they opened a book of "How people don't react in each situation" and copied it word for word! I give it 3/10, only because the guys heart attack at the end made me nearly pass out with laughter, if that wasn't in it, 2/10

  • I FRICKIN LOVE THIS MOVIE. Seen it on netflix at least 8 times. Has the feel good picking at your brain feeling to it. 

  • crap crap crap carp carp carp carp ...crap

  • @bagadeaua1 this movie was so crap this guy forgot how to spell lol

  • GUYS... GUYS...

    WHAT IF... WAIT R U LISTENIN? LISTEN, GUYS, GUYS!

    LISTEN.... WHAT IF.... JESUS IS CAVEMAN????

  • @TheCrownedMedia Hahahahaha

  • i was Jesus !

    

  • I don't like the end, it's unrealistic. But I very much like the movie as a whole!

  • that movie is very nice, it does not need action or special effects or whatever but its much better than the most hollywoodshitaction0815movies you can find, its a very nice movie, anyone who dont understands that is just stupid and please these people who dont like the movie, they should better not make kids, we dont need more stupid people with stupid genetics

  • @Modelundstahlfaust - Take it easy! Are you sure you understood this movie? You seems to be a very primitiv person otherwise you would not write so much shit.

    Why do you talk about eugenical genetics, are you a nazi? By the way hackneyed saying "Oh you are too stupid for this film" well thats he oldest argument in the world you can justify nearly every movie with it. MfE is a good movie but dont overact as if it were the greatest movie of all times.

  • very nice movie

  • bad trailer, amazing movie.

  • one of the worst movies I have ever seen

  • @dankwarth stupid idiot, you are one of these worst people we have too much on these earth, there is no action or aliens or whatever, its a nice fantastic movie, if you really watched it and still thinking its a bad movie then you are just too stupid to understand it, or just to young or just no creative thinking, maybe you are just one of these brainless kids playing whole day only counterstrike or call of duty and never dreamed or whatever, stupid loser, go to fuck off

  • @Modelundstahlfaust - haha a german guy with stupiest name "modelundstahlfaust" wanna tell me something about good films? Shut up and watch Vin Diesel movies, you jackass. I think thats more of your level. Judging by your idiotic comment, you are not a very intelligent person but a completely stupid dumbass. You insult other people instead of convincing sb. by arguing. I'm sure you are not a great filmfan and you have never seen good SCI-FI-movie.

  • one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

  • amazing movie

  • Excellent movie ! Just saw it on Netflicks. Really makes you think about stuff.

  • hey, i made a music video using the closing theme song in the movie. take a second to check it out.

  • just freakin awesome

  • he is jesus

  • The number of times watched, a smart mind has plenty to imagine.

    "I almost wish it were true"

  • I just watched this movie yesterday for the first time, and beforehand if you had told me that most of a movie (whether it be this one or another) takes place on 1 set, i wouldntve watched it, but this movie is brilliant. Especially considering the budget. Even with the lack of action, i was completely into this movie start to finish, and have watched it twice now in 2 days and im sure ill be watching it several more times.

  • @circlelt1 I think that too... Film did not even bean decorated by pictures that will describe scenes from his talk (his story), but even without that, film was fantastic :)

  • People now a days just watch movies that got busty girls and guys with muscles HAHAHA.

  • Amazing movie...really special.!!

  • This is more like a theatre performance than a movie. The idea is good but damn did it take its sweet time in delivering.

  • @smithforthphd

    TBH, I've always had a hard time with the idea of "leaving my brain at the door". My brain enjoys watching movies just much as the "rest of me". I mean, I don't mind films that require a certain suspension of belief, but when I hear people apply the "brain/door" description to a film, the majority of the time, it's b'cuz it's a bad movie.

    As far as "Man From Earth", after watching it, it instantly became one of my favorite movies of all time.

  • Wonderful film. Quiet, measured, thoughtful, and absolutely fascinating.

  • Are you fucking kidding me?? I looked up this trailer because a comment under Another Earth trailer said it was much deeper and whatnot...

    ...really? i haven't heard a single at least not-shallow and thought-provoking sentence in this trailer, and got embarrassing acting and poor visuals as bonus. In Another Earth, on the other hand, EVERY single sentence from trailer (and most of them in actual movie) sends chills down my spine and starts an avalanche of thoughts and ideas... really, WTF?

  • @MidnightSt you're judging this movie based on its trailer? that is shallow,watch the film the story is amazing, the ending is amazing. You dont need stunning visuals you dont need amazing acting, all you need to do is provoke thought and feelings which is what this film does, and it does it exceptionally well my friend.

  • @VictorC53 reread my comment. "heard" and "sentence" are the key words. yes, visuals and acting are very important too, but those were just the final nail in the coffin, trailers usually inform about premise of the movie, and pick bits that demostrate how the movie copes with the premise. premise of this one sounds... absurd and pointless, and the bits it picked don't have anything interesting to say. nevertheless, i'll give it a try, if only to see which one of us is wrong ;)

  • @MidnightSt true true, well i can almost be certain that you'll enjoy this movie thoroughly! the story is what makes it worth watching!

  • This movie was pretty awesome. A low budget film with some bad actors, but the creativity of the writers was absolutely amazing. There isn't one film like this in cinema history. MUST WATCH!!!!!

  • if i learn ` i m a son of jesus`. i have a heart attack and died...

  • damn i am pretty sure that anyone could live for 14,000 years.

  • WHERE IS ISLAMMM????

  • Just watched this... What a fascinating movie. A true definition of the phrase "thought provoking". The end with the doctor on the doorstep cheapened it a little in my own humble opinion but all in all a brilliant piece of work. I've always shared the same view of religion (not the common factor of one man of course) But have always believed the reports of Jesus to be an exaggeration of someone trying to teach buddhism. Also liked the brushings of existentialism. Truly a work of art.

  • KEANU

  • @Haksu77 Maybe your a little too simple minded to sit still long enough to grasp the concept of a movie being good without all the flashy special effects

  • so, all is true?

  • I loved it, so simple yet so beautiful, some movies like inception etc. are so over rated *not bad by any means* but over rated and movies like this get ignored.

  • I want more... 10/10

  • Rating 11/10, definitely.

  • after watching the move...

    Rating: 11/10

    that is all...

    MIND FUCK beyond anything

  • My reaction as the closing credits came on was a loud "fuck" and a short lol. Brilliant entertainment.

  • Shitty trailer. It's a pitty, because people are going to miss out on the movie, because the trailer isn't going to make anyone give it a chance.

  • Absolutely amazing. Can anyone recommend a movie similar to this or the movie Contact that I can stream on Netflix? Thanks

  • @xBlake4

    hello,

    a movie somewhat similar to this (not in story but in ... how should i say.. in kind of brain-cinema) is "MOON (2010)". its fascination is not effects or action but the strange situation of the main actor itself. what the world is he is living in an his feelings etc. you can watch the trailer here on youtube but the trailer itself is a little misleading. the film is not actionlike.

    here is the link:

    /watch?v=twuScTcDP_Q

  • @xBlake4

    I would recommend American Beauty with Kevin Spacy. It's not available through Netflix unless you have DVD's. But that's what pirate bay is for :)

  • awesome movie

    too underrated

  • This movie is one of the finest movies I've seen, as great as nick cage's acting talent

  • Wow, I rarely see recent movies that don't actually switch my brain off after a couple minutes. Definitely love it :)

  • Stupidest movie i ever watch!!!

  • @Vicious2809 Why because you want to see tits and ass maybe some explosions?

  • @DougMcHead Why u so stupid? I'll go on some porn site if i want see boobies.... All my lifetime Im dedicated to movies.... This is so boring.... if u want great sf movie watch Contact

  • @Vicious2809 See, exactly what I meant. Contact could have been better by a mile. But I guess will all those flashy effects and everything it was your ideal movie. I like movies like this because you actually have to think for yourself not let the movie spell it out for you. I am a fan of using my mind when I watch movies. That is why i like this one and movies like The Usual Suspects.

  • @DougMcHead

    I completely agree. Hey, if anyone knows of any other movies like this! PM me them please....

  • however i do agree that the trailer makes it look shit boring

  • aaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmaaaaaaazz­zzzzzziiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnn­nggggggggg movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    it was worth all the exclamations and that drag

  • @MessianicLight Lolwut? I hope you are trolling. There is nothing anti-christian about this movie. Its just a plot turn they chose to take, no one ever says "Christians are bad" or anything of that sort, its a fictional movie, they are allowed to do things like mess up religious lore for the sake of entertainment.

  • Its a very interesting movie

  • This is the best movie I have ever watched for many years,imdb proves it.

  • Most intense movie set just in a living room and out front of a house with 0 special effects, unless you count background music. The special effects budget for the trailer probably exceeded that of the movie itself lol. I love watching this movie with people who have never seen it before.

    I sense... space, and a latitude of what we happily call reality, and as everyone keeps saying... anything is possible--No! No! No words! I'm gonna go home and I'm gonna watch Star Trek for a dose of sanity.

  • lame and fake as hell

  • Comment removed

  • @scatman57 come on man , look at the way of filming , its homemade stuff -_-"

  • @NaziOmega Yeah, this movie doesn't have fancy graphics, was filmed by a porn director, and has effectively one setting throughout the whole movie. But don't judge it before you see it. In my opinion (and in that of the majority of people I know who've seen it), it is still one of the two best movies that made after 1995 and on a budget of $500,000 or less (200k in this case, Christopher Nolan's "The Following" being the other)

  • @NaziOmega Simple minds don't grasp educated things like this. You have to actually use your mind for more than not pissing on your own balls when you pee

  • Fate i seri

  • I've just whatched the movie and I can say it's on my top favorite list along with Donnie Darko, amazing story and great atmosphere

  • Should have had Keanu Reeves play the lead in this.

  • @ss3450 Then it would have sucked

  • this movie sucks..where are the vampires and the zombies? :P

    Seriously now...amazing movie and wonderfull acting!!!

  • fast and furious 5  vaas a caer toretooooooo!!

  • Insanely smart movie.

    Definitely not for everyone.

    Especially not for those who watch films with their brains checked at the door.

    This movie requires smarts.

  • @themightycelestial indeed ;)

  • Brilliant movie, highly recommended

  • This movie is a wonderful yarn with a surprise ending. I wouldn't recommend it to atheist militants or Christian fundamentalists.

  • Just watch the first 30mins of the movie and you'll be addicted to it. The one behind the story is a freakin genius!

  • Certainly one of the sickest movies I have seen, damn!

  • @gunstih ONE OF THE STUPIDEST COMMENTS OF ALL TIME 4/19,000,000

  • this movie sucks.

  • @hiephoi058 Why? Because its boring and no action? You need a broader grasp of entertainment than flashing images of violence and sex. While those things are good, seeing a movie that you actually have to think about is much more entertaining

  • This movie had a very small budget and only one setting but the originality of the storyline, the acting and the engaging/claustrophobic way in which it was delivered culminated into what I think is artwork. One of the greatest things I have ever watched.

  • This movie is good food for tought, especially for someone who likes to dig deep into history and theology, tough I really dont recommend it to anyone expecting action in it.

  • Excellent movie, though sadly the people most interested in this sort of material will find the arguments well worn and introducing nothing truly new or thought-provoking. Those who haven't explored the topic, and those who most badly need to, typically aren't the type to follow what is basically an 80 minute conversation... no matter how compelling.

    It is an enjoyable twist, though, using the immortal caveman angle to weave together an exploratory narrative to some very big ideas.

  • This movie should be played every year in every country

  • Maybe someone like John Oldman does exist. Who Knows?

    Brilliant, Superb!!!!!

  • I randomly found this movie on NetFlix a few months ago and was completely awestruck at how simple and thought provoking it was. I mean all they did was sit in a room and talk for an hour and a half. I couldn't stop watching it. One of the best movies I have ever seen

  • @DougMcHead At one point the guy would have to run away so they don't know his secret about him not ageing

  • One of the most intelligent and original movies I have seen.

    Highly recommended !

    -ET

  • The Flood was here, at the request of Recon.

  • Recon Number 54?

  • I enjoyed this movie. I imagine it must be a challenge to sustain a script on one setting. I loved the tensions among the characters of wanting to believe and yet suspended in doubt about their own spiritual beliefs, preconceptions of the world and beginnings of humankind. A refreshing gem in the world of horribly written 3D mega hits.

  • @victrip Very true, it's sad how far we've fallen in the quality of our films. And that a film as incredible as Man From Earth has to struggle for attention.

  • I enjoyed this film, it actually did challenge you. As opposed to most movies that do all the imagining for you. 

  • Movie is highly overrated.

  • @CanasClone More like underrated.

  • Perhaps the best title ever?

  • I have never seen so many fake reviews in my life. Even the IMDB page is 4riddled with bogus favorable ratings and "reviews".

    This movie is the worst o fit's kind. It's so bad you wouldn't believe it. It's like watching an episode of a poorly acted, horribly written, boring to death, insipid, soap opera on TV. It's fucking shit!

    Fuck you for tricking me into watching this stupid shit with all your fake ratings and reviews. IMDB better tighten up their system.

  • @Client404 With your kind of language as a substutue for English it is clear that you did not have the mental capacity for this film.

  • @imonthebox

    The movie requires no mental capacity, it's just flat out horrible, and the fact that they have to rig the IMDB voting system with fake reviews just to get people to watch it says it all. Dishonesty and aggressive propaganda doesn't suddenly make the movie (if you can call it that!) any better.

    I repeat to anyone who hasn't seen the movie, the IMDB voting system was high-jacked by a bunch of dishonest people. Even look at the favorable youtube comments, LOL!

  • @Client404 Dude, that is just YOUR opinion! Why would you think that everyone else in the world thinks like you? You can say what you want about this movie, or about anything in that matter. But whatever you say it will still be, and forever be, JUST YOUR OPINION! "Fake reviews" my ass...

  • @Client404 Dude you are crazy, u are acting like everyone has to like what you like. to be what you be. to be ignorant like you. watch transformers & twilight like you.

    But the world is different dear client. Some people like this movie and some not. Please come back to the real world.

    In MY (NOT yours) opinion, it's a very nice piece of art. Amazing to watch. For me this movie was a thrilling experience.

  • @KennY157 Same here!

  • Comment removed

  • @Client404 IMDb better tighten up it's completely user-based system? Yeah, because that's even remotely possible.

  • who the fuck made this trailer? bullshit

  • Superb acting, great plot and storyline. well researched and well written. it definitely is one of the most underrated movies of the decade. the people who were involved in the making of this great film should all be extremely proud of themselves.

  • Best moment starts at 1:01 looks like lars ulrich made it to the big screen.

  • simply amazing... 

  • couldnt he just shoot himself

  • boring as shit

  • @Buvaylyk watch it again when you turn 10

  • Amazing film.

  • there will be the 2 ?

  • This is the best movie I have ever seen. I am so impressed of the quality of the film considering it's obviously low budget. I wish that the film could be remade with actual footage of going back in forth through the course of John Oldman's life. Spectacular film no matter which way you look at it!

  • @drewhiggins34

    I already wondered were the 200.000€ went.

  • @drewhiggins34 I look at it as if it is a bear.

    It is a pathetic bear.

  • I still can't believe I never watched this movie before. Thankfully, I just did earlier today and let me tell you: my imagination took a workout. Great film!

  • are there any other movies like "the man from earth"?

    btw. i know "K-Pax"

  • If there was a sequel to this movie, John probably will reveal that he's also Napoleon, Hitler, and Forrest Gump LMFAO

  • The entire movie was a conversation. But a damn interesting one at that. Get's so much deeper than I predicted.
