The Man from Earth: Holocene

What a disappointment. I was lured by the title "The Man from Earth" but didn't pay too much to the appendix word "Holocene" behind it. When I peaked my interest to watch it, then the "Holo..." of that word suddenly became "HollowScene". What a lousy sequel, man. It totally ruined my good memory of the original one. With some very annoying and unlikable college students, especially that pretentious and disgusting white girl's performance, this film has simply turned into a disastrous, shallow, predictable, torturous, absolutely unwatchable B movie. This film does not deserve a long review, so I rest my case.

There was no need for a sequel to this movie.

Too bad. My goodness, they screwed up by making the sequel of the movie.

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.

IMHO first movie was everything: Interesting, clever, intriguing, intelligent, captivating, just continue with superlatives... Heck, I registered here just to be able to rate it, and I've praised it to my friends. Most of them liked it as well. I was thrilled when I've heard about this sequel and I was eager to watch it. Now I would like to un-watch it, because it was completely unnecessary, it actually destroyed mystique of first movie.

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.
