The Man from Earth

With all the cloud over the last week or so I have had time to catch up on a few sci fi movies including Star Trek - not bad. Terminator Salavation - yeah good with some great special effects and then Jerome Bixby's The Man from Earth, ??? never heard of it - lent to me by a friend who just said watch it and see what you think - well WOW!
Star Trek and Terminator cost a squillion dollars to make. The Man from Earth is very low budget, no explosions, no aliens, no special effects.
I don't know how many have seen this and it may not be for everyone given the challenging story (and lets not give it away) but I will say for nearly 90 minutes it drew me in like no movie has for a long time, edge of the seat stuff. Superb acting and very interesting storyline if you listen well. It builds beautifully and ends superbly, a movie I will watch again and again.
PeterM.
