THE MAN FROM EARTH [2007]

From the late Jerome Bixby, one of  the writers of the original Star Trek series, comes this fascinating story about a man who's lived for 14,000 years.
It's slow-paced, low budget and set all in one place, so don't expect any giant robot fights or any slo-mo boob shots here.  It challenges your beliefs, spirituality and will to keep an open-mind, which has led to some angry backlashes from the people this film's message was directed towards.
It's not for everybody but if you're in the mood for the thinking man's sci-fi then I'd safely recommend this.
