Review of I Origins (2014) by Peter B — 27 Jun 2015

While I found this film very interesting, I still did not care for it as much as Cahill's earlier flick, Another Earth, which had more universal themes, such as guilt, redemption and forgiveness, as opposed to this one, which seems to want to switch around the science vs spiritualism balance.

Not that science's position is impregnable, but too many positive ideas in our society hang on it, at least in the western world. We have not burned witches or forced people into beliefs they do not hold for a long time now.

There are other inconsistencies I saw in the script, as well. For example, why would the scientist take the little girl up to his hotel room by the stairs, but go to take the elevator to return to the main floor.

Given a choice, most people would do the opposite, if not be consistent and take the same way both times. And certainly enough retinal scans have been done as I.D. over the time they have been used for that purpose, that any "double" would have been found long before now.

And I took note that the script said nothing further on the work that these two doctors were doing to "disprove" Creationsim. This movie was a bit too slanted for me.
