LOVED this. That being said, its probably not for everyone. This is a great piece of Science Fiction. The screenplay for this movie was written by Sci-Fi writer Jerome Bixby (who wrote the story that one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes was based on) I really enjoyed this, though I do wish I had watched it earlier and not after such a long day, becuase it was super thought provoking and interesting, but being tired, I don't think I gave it the focus it deserved. I will be watching this again, no doubt about it. The entire movie takes place in one setting, the empty house of a man claiming to be a Cro-Magnon who has survived all these years. His friends are gathered here to say goodbye when he springs this story on them. The rest of the movie is really the group discussing the possibilities of this claim. I loved that it was mostly dialogue based. The acting was okay. I was a little freaked out by the presence of Tony Todd who will always be "Candyman" to me (from the horror film of the same name), but I got used to him. I really enjoyed the ideas presented here. It was very intriguing and I believe I would enjoy reading this a little more than watching, because sometimes I think I need to see it in writing. Great stuff. Its not for the closed minded, not for people who can't take low budget movies without big name actors and CGI effects. But I think that its really worth watching for anyone that can appreciate a good Sci-Fi story. One review I read called it a Sci-Fi version of 12 Angry Men...I think thats a perfect way to describe it. Definitely worth watching.
