Just watched "The Man From Earth"

Quite entertaining.
It did have the same feel about the direction that "What the BLEEP" had. Enough that i almost would believe it was done by the same people. But, unlike "What the BLEEP" it was not some poor misinterpretation of a significant cross section of the sciences.

At the beginning it seemed a little heavy handed. But the discussion about Jesus and subsequent investigation of faith and proof formed a core theme. This theme proved solid. The main focus was the topic of the group's conversation, not the characters themselves, so they seemed a little one dimensional. But the historical time line of man kept my sympathy. I think one of the guys was Col. Winchester from M*A*S*H. If he wasn't, he had very similar mannerisms.

So i guess after watching i would recommend. However Waking Life was along similar lines and was light years better. Three and a half stars.

Note:
HA! i knew i had seen the biologist before. He is Dr. Phlox from Star Trek: Enterprise.
