The Man from Earth: Holocene

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

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.

There was no need for a sequel to this movie.

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

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.

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.
