Review of I Origins (2014) by Michael P — 01 Jan 2016

I really enjoyed this film. None of those noisy special effects, no CGI sci fi spacescapes and no intense car chase/fight/war scenes. Instead we have an interesting group of characters and a no-rush storyline.

Archie Panjabi moonlighting from The Good Wife and Steven Yeun taking time out from Walking Dead. Brit Marling plays a convincing role, working well alongside Michael Pitt, who's work I'm not familiar with except for The Village which was excellent but it wasn't Pitt that held me. I like Astrid Berges-Frisbey a lot, she is the kind of girl men fight to the death over. Her character drew me in to the film but it was the story held me right up until the end. If you enjoy a good film, ignore the critics and watch this.
