Unfortunately, there were NOT debates about philosophy, science and religion like it had in the first movie... still it works as a link between the first movie and a (possible) third one.

The 2007 film "The Man from Earth" is an independent science fiction film that takes place entirely in one room. It tells the story of a university professor, John Oldman (David Lee Smith), who reveals to his colleagues that he is actually a 14,000-year-old caveman. He tells them about his life over the centuries, moving from one civilization to another, changing his name and profession each time to avoid being discovered.

The Man from Earth. is an intelligent and intriguing film that explores questions of identity, memory and reality. It has become a cult film since its release and is often cited as one of the best independent science fiction films ever made.

Jerome Bixby's screenplay is intelligent and well written. It asks interesting questions about identity, memory and reality. The film is also very well made, with effective direction and elegant photography.

The film is slow at times, and it can be difficult to follow all the philosophical discussions. Additionally, the plot is somewhat predictable, and the film ends on an anticlimactic note… Expand

Its alright. It gets kinda weird at the end and that put me off a bit but overall it was cool. Thought it might be a bit more thought provoking but the waffling in the last half killed that for me.
