Watch I Origins For Free

Simply A Masterpiece

Great Film overall

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

I watched this movie with my father who happens to be an ophthalmologist. He discovered a few bugs here and there, but he also found nice references. Anyways, this is my opinion. I really loved the aesthetic filming and the suitable setting. The ways the mood of the movie changed after "plot points" were interesting to watch. The love scenes were also dazzling and delicate. Each of them was unique, and real at the same time. The contrast between Ian and Sofi's "beliefs" was very intriguing. There were some nice punchlines and metaphors, but at the same time, some of them were rather vague and/or cliché. (I'm not gonna complain because this whole issue is pretty vague!) Overall, I dig the dialogues! You could easily identify the character archetypes. But at the same time, the way each incident, discovery, and phenomenon helped each person's development was tangible and amusing. Sofi's death for example. And the way it impacted Ian's life. It was a huge turning point. The "lab day" was the day that Ian "won" and "lost". In my opinion, the finest aspect about this movie was the state of turmoil and bewilderment. It was thoroughly implemented in the film. So many people disliked the movie because of the controversial closure. I believe that you shouldn't watch this movie looking for an "epic plot twist" or for your "beliefs" to be approved. The point about this movie is not the ending or the "conclusion". There will never be an answer. That's why I was low-key disappointed with how spirituality hit the final strike. But honestly, I couldn't really think of a better ending, since "religion and spirituality" wasn't even utterly approved. I believe that this film was about the thought-process of the characters and their pragmatic and tangible feelings, thoughts, and reactions. Note that evolution was approved and so was spirituality.My favorite scenes were Sofi's passing AND the final elevator scene! Salomina was afraid of elevators. MANNote: There's a scene after the credits! WATCH IT! I LOVED IT!

Sorry to say but this is the lowest rating on a brilliant movie ever. What is wrong with the reviewers, I don't know but You leave with tears and some rare thoughts( ofcourse scientific) after watching the movie. Give it a shot..You will never be disappointed if you are a SCIENCE fan!!!

Despite a number of positive reviews for this film collected here, I'm afraid I have to be the dissenting voice. I found I ORIGINS a very difficult film to watch, purely because it's boring in scope and tone. The story explores some sci-fi concepts regarding the human eye and reincarnation, but they're dealt with in the dreariest way imaginable, with endless soul-searching and lame romantic sub-plots that drag out an already slow pacing. What's particularly disappointing is the waste of two fine TV actors, Michael Pitt (of BOARDWALK EMPIRE) and Steven Yeun (of THE WALKING DEAD). I feel like the ideas might have worked better as a term paper instead of a pretend film.

This movie has been on my watch list for a while. I finally made the decision to watch it because of its enticing synopsis. However, now that I've actually seen it I feel tricked. The synopsis is more of a ruse; the actual movie has very little to do with what's described in it. You'll see. With that being said I do have a gripe with the "science" in the movie. As someone with a background in science I know that most of the things that are being presented as "facts" in this movie are nothing but humbug. You can't create iris scans from "high res" images. And that's not the only pseudo-science that's prevalent in "I Origins". But I don't want to spoil anything so I'll just end it here.The movie was OK but I can't help but feel a little disappointed. I was expecting something very different; a movie about the origin of self / consciousness. But instead we've watched a movie about eyes. Very funny play of words (/sarcasm). Just because "I" is a homonym for eye that doesn't justify this type of trickery. I feel betrayed.
