With the file-sharing wars in full swing, 2007 saw the movie The Man From Earth being pirated all over the Internet, but its creators didn't fight the movement. Instead, they embraced pirates and thanked them for their attention. More than a decade on its sequel, The Man From Earth: Holocene, is again being shared on The Pirate Bay. But this time its creators put it there themselves.

I watched both of them the day after I subbed this. The first one was pretty good if you can get past the shitty acting from everybody except John Billingsley. The second one just felt like a typical Hollywood cash grab.

Several of them were guys we've all seen doing at least fair work on the screen before too. I guess it was just bad directing.

It felt like they had enough rehearsals to get through it, but not enough to make it feel natural. It was low budget soap opera style.
The writing did a good job of making it interesting, so it worked overall anyhow.

Yeah, the story was interesting enough in the first one to make up for some off-the-mark dialog.

And there's no explosions or giant robots, right?

Doesn't necessarily need to be. Sometimes you want giant robots kicking the shit out of each other, sometimes you don't.
