An intriguing look at science, spirit, interpersonal relationships and the ties that bind them, all wrapped up in a captivating story. It's unfortunate,however, that some pacing problems, lame attempts at humor and tech-speak dialogue bogAn intriguing look at science, spirit, interpersonal relationships and the ties that bind them, all wrapped up in a captivating story. It's unfortunate,however, that some pacing problems, lame attempts at humor and tech-speak dialogue bog down the flow of this otherwise-engaging release. Expand

The plot is okay but this movie is way too predictable to be any good. Perhaps some better editing and a shorter length would have helped. What could have been a good film was executed very poorly. Even the ending was blatantly obvious. TheThe plot is okay but this movie is way too predictable to be any good. Perhaps some better editing and a shorter length would have helped. What could have been a good film was executed very poorly. Even the ending was blatantly obvious. The movie might as well have had director commentary giving away plot points.

The (unnecessary) science jargon/aspects has some poetic license too, searching individual organisms - really? We can map a genome but we can't search through more than one at a time?

I Origins succeeds in presenting a complex and deep subject, but is lost in its own argument by not taking it to a safe port. It has its faults, but I personally enjoy it.

This movie will not please those who like everything explained and

This movie will not please those who like everything explained and easy, but if you are interested in cinema with more brain here is a good example.
