Review of The Man from Earth (2007) by Johan N — 25 Feb 2009
The two stars are for the premise only, which was brilliant. The follow-through, the lame dialog, which forms almost all of the movie leaves a lot to be desired. The only way you can succeed with a "talking movie with everyone in the same room throughout" is with excellent acting and great dialog.
There are only bits and pieces of that sprinkled throughout. Not enough to make the movie good.
Otherwise, the premise itself could have led to about 4 or 5 hollywood blockbusters based on the past lives of the main character.
Most disappointing.
