Yeah, this is science fiction at his best. The fact that the entire movie plays inside a living room that there are no special effects and that all they do is talk does not make this a bad movie. With the right cast and script it could be good and in this movie they played it out to perfection. The director made the right choice by doing it this way. any other way would have failed miserably. The idea that one man could live thousands of years wandering around the world meeting historical people and being someone that made a huge impact on the world himself is inspiring.

Amazing story! A lot of big productions could learn from such a simple, yet very good movie. The dialogues could've been better but it's still worthy of high praise.

The best ever script for a sci-fi (not only) movie. Who cares if the acting is mediocre, if the production is poor and if the whole movie is shooted in a room?! If the script is clever, flawless and scientific correct nothing else matters. An oasis between the script trash.

This movie was something that I saw at the shops and sounded interesting. I liked the premise. Watching it I first thought I would turn it off with the low quality. But the storyline is epic!!!

Really loved the movie.

The way the movie explores the idea of a man living for 14000 years, experiencing and making impacts on the world and then talks about it in his living room really makes this movie worth a watch.

Indeed this is a fantastic piece of a movie, with a simple storytelling that captures your and you just cannot realize how 6 people talking could lead to such an amazing film.

This movie is very interesting.
It has no special effects but is better than a lot of movies with special effects.
