The Man from Earth: Holocene (2017) Reviews
Could have been much better
Movie is watchable, and thats all. No compelling story, no atmopshere, music didnt fit. Students acting was hard to watch, and the ending ruined it all for me. First one wich i consider one of the best movies ever made i could watch all day and night but this one i will erase from my memory. 5 is generous
A Good example of why some movies should better be left untouched
The Man from Earth is one of the most amazing movies ever, I mean there is no other movie of that kind, at least to my best knowledge, and more importantly the movie ended exactly how it should have, it was Perfect in every sense. The Sequel was a good attempt to say the least but the acting and story itself was rather disappointing. The whole theme of the movie got somewhat disrupted, the original Man from earth was a complete scientific exploration on its own, there was a touch of mystery, facts, a classic debate over human existence and the Gods, where as the sequel was more centred towards John's character, his personal life, and a bunch of school kids investigating his identity, no mystery, no debates, nothing new..viewers already know who and what John is. So to conclude, its almost impossible to extend a movie like The Man from Earth, my expectations weren't high to begin with but I watched it anyway hoping I will be proved wrong but of course that never happened. So, while I definitely appreciate the effort, I strongly believe that they should have left it where it ended.
Disappointment
After a very interesting first movie that continously gave something to think about while watching the sequel is an uninteresting investigation story with boring student characters. This spoiled the shining of the first one. I was watching with great excitement expecting something to be formed but nothing did. And the endcredit scene was a very lame one. Such an uninteresting story. The first one is the one to watch. This one just skip.
Let the mystery be
I was pretty excited about this movie coming out, which may have amplified the disappointment. In retrospect I'm not sure what I expected. I enjoyed the semi open ended ending to the original "The Man from Earth", and as expected this kind of spat on that. Holocene follows John 10 years post the original movie, where he's set up a new life in a new location with a new name, and is showing signs of itching to leave again. Some of his new students accidentally discover he might be immortal, and set off to find out if he is or not. It primarily follows the students, and looks into Johns worries about his immortality possibly wearing off. It came with all of the negatives of the original with none of the wonder. The acting was average as was the production. It had none of the feel of the original movie, and just became a tacky story about an immortal guy dealing with people discovering him. I mean it even had a post initial credits scene with an FBI agent looking for John. It really feels like this should have been a spin off TV show or something, so you could at least excuse the major feel change with hopes that it'll get better. I think I'd rather a remake of the original with good actors and a better camera than continuing the way this is going. Do not trust the current rating.
Dont expect it to be the same
The man from earth is my favorite movie ever made. It is amazing. I love it for the narrative style yet mind blowing content. This movie made my sci-fi loving imagination explode, in the end I gave it a standing ovation while being in my room in front of a PC. And they made a sequel. And it has nothing to do with the first one, dont expect it to. Yes it is about the same fictional persona, yet the movie style is completely different. Now its a teenage adventure, and, to be honest, I wouldnt even watch it to the end if it wasnt out of respect to the first masterpiece. So give it a shot, but dont expect it to be on the same level. Its different.. and flat.
