This is about two people who are highly functional, meet each other and fall apart. They and we want to know why. It has a satisfying ending do not worry. But it has an anti-science bent that irritates even me and does not need to be included. It is like over explaining something. This makes it trite since it is also bad science from someone who does not understand what they are talking about. But it is not the fault of the actors who are good. The director who is also the writer tries very hard to make a mystical atmosphere and does a good job. It is not a great movie but it is worth seeing. The premise that we have met people before whom we know from a past life is intriguing enough and well done.

lindsnix3 April 2018I love stories about fate & destiny and past lives. The idea was great, but the whole movie was one long ambient song going up & down in intensity. I wasn't invested in either character. They weren't particularly interesting or likeable & their chemistry was pretty lukewarm. I was more emotionally invested in the couple in the flashback that only Had a few scenes, than the main characters in the entire movie.

MyMovieTVRomance23 January 2022I liked this movie, but there's something about it that made it feel like 40 minutes long, instead of almost an hour and a half- probably the good film score. Felt like it should have been longer, but at least it didn't drag.
Those who liked this will LOVE "I Origins". -
alanpgini15 December 2016This was a real gem. It was obviously an independent Film Festival entry. Especially since the two actors would have been known. It revolves around a man and a woman who must navigate between what is real or imagined, and whether they have become mentally unbalanced, or whether it is something else. Its a little too drawn out. Otherwise, I'd give it a 10, instead of a 9. Its more romance than SciFi. But it still holds your attention. The science aspect shows that there is more unknowns than knowns out there, waiting for us to discover. And that one would be a fool, to disregard the unknown. These two great young actors hold it together. The contrast between the two characters, also emphasizes the strangeness of the plot. Thank God, that there is someone out there, that still sees room for movies like this. We need to see more out of this Producer and Writer.

xanitra-1205624 March 2021This movie deserves more credit. It is a love story, with a pinch of sci-fi. The acting is superb, the imagery is spectacular, and the music (which this whole movie is wrapped around in), ties everything together. It only lasts 1,5 hours, and it is probably one of the best 1,5 hours I have had in a long time. Highly recommended stuff.

j-bush-642-9036198 February 2021This is a romance about two people connecting over a past life. Acting was good and stress and conflict believable and rational. No bad guys or sex. If this is not your cup of tea you will not like it but a very nice movie with a fantasy premise which the two characters struggle to resolve.
