YOUR RATING

Star academics, Doctors Julian Reed and Barbara Sullivan, fall in love with each other and with the idea of cloning a Neanderthal from ancient DNA. Against the express directive of University administrators they follow through on this audacious idea. The result is William: the first Neanderthal to walk the earth for some 35,000 years. William tries his best to fit into the world around him. But his distinctive physical features and his unique way of thinking--his "otherness"--set him apart and provoke fear. William's story is powerful and unique, but his struggle to find love and assert his own identity in a hostile world is universal--and timeless.

Not for "Star Wars" fans. But if you liked "The Man from Earth" this is for you..

A very interesting movie.. I'm not much into anthropology. But if does touch some anthropological discussions in a very subtle but thought provoking way. The director laid out the premise very well but then had to squeeze the rest with a 100 minute time limitation in mind while not forgetting to add some relational issues into the mix. As for the ending, it would have probably be different if the story was set in any other country than US. Can you imagine why??
