Review of The Man from Earth (2007) by Derek W — 03 Oct 2015

I can only assume others watched a different film from the one I saw - this is amateur student filmmaking at its most basic, with clunky dialogue, irritatingly poor acting & dialogue (with the exception of the excellent Tony Todd), artificial direction and an overdose of pointless philosophising.

This is a thinker's play at best, shoehorned into a cheaply shot movie. Yes, the core concept is interesting and some of the reveals entertaining. No, that doesn't rescue the amateur hour production or justify the overrated IMDB score.
