The Man from Earth: Holocene Ratings & Reviews
- dughlasuFebruary 15, 2025The underlying idea is good. However, why on earth would a man who has lived some 14,000 years or more choose to try and hide in a 21st century USA in the era of the internet????? If a man wanted to remain hidden, there are many better parts of the world to do so. Facial recognition software, biometric software etc. Employers and civil service departments want definitive proof of identity, including photo ID and possibly fingerprints, The only reason this is made for a US audience is because of america's obsession with the cultural phenomenon of an 'american jesus' and what that is supposed to mean. The teenage college kid side of this unfortunately drags that acting standard down a bit. I watched it to the end purely because of the underlying concepts.
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 11, 2024Absolutely shocking sequel. It almost seems like they tried to ruin the franchise as much as possible. Despite that, this movie is so "out there" that it has entertainment value. And the post-credit ending actually added some extra points for me. Not because the ending was good (it's not, it truly ruins the first movie) but because now I really want to see a third movie!
