Blender Underground

This movie is a few years old but a great find, if you can rent it please do so. Many people call this movie a Sci-Fi but it is more a psychological drama. It's a thinking man's movie and because we here on the Blender Underground think on a higher level than most I decided it should be posted here. Jerome Bixby who wrote for 1960's Star Trek "Requiem for Methuselah" came out with this beautiful single set movie with fine acting (yes even from William Katt) and superior dialog.

As a group of intellectual friends gather for farewell party. Professor John Oldman played by David Lee Smith, fields questions as to why he resigned his tenure and more importantly, why the sudden departure. His friends continue to probe him for an answer. A heated debate ensues when Oldman asks a hypothetical question, "What if a man from the Stone Age was able to survive for thousands of years and lived to the present?" What begins as an interesting theoretical discussion among intellectuals takes a strange turn when out of the blue, Oldman reveals that he is that man, a Cro-Magnon from the Paleolithic era who has lived for an amazing 14,000 years.

A riveting must see movie.

I'll second that !
I give it 9 out of 10, particularly because it does not depend on any special effects or "action" yet it is still a great story.
I already bought it on DVD.

Oh yes, I thought it was "The Man From Earth".

That is indeed looking like a possible good movie scenario.

Il keep this title in mind.

I'm going to have to say, i really really want to see this film...

my agreement.

especially well done were the copious special effects and non-stop CGI.

seriously, as a recycle-mode Hollywood looks in desperation for *anything* to remake it should allocate this as potential fodder, and with the right creative team, capable of subtlety and an original idea or two, it could be a great redux.

but the original is perfect and doesn't need flashbacks nor visual exposition, and its simplicity, its fireside-chattiness, is what makes it work!

it reminds me of another headtrip talkie called Mindwalk. It's for systems theorists.

Vincent, if you've seen that one you are instantly elevated to Can Do No Wrong status.
