What a great idea completely wasted.

When John Oldman retires after 10 years as a college history professor, his colleagues show up at his house to say goodbye as he packs up his belongings. Friendly goodbyes soon turn into prolonged interrogation, until finally John tells a tale that few can swallow. This most thought-provoking film raises questions for all of us.

"Sometimes, we wish we could live forever. The Man from Earth is an example of why we probably shouldn't. A science fiction film where all that happens is talk. This movie should come with a disclaimer: WARNING: may contain intellectual material, do not watch if your brain is only built for watching things like guns, explosions and gratuitous sex, and can't handle things like in-depth conversations, thought provoking ideas an' stuff. In other words, in a world bloated with escapist fare a"
