I loved the Man from Earth so much that the sequel was always going to have an uphill task in living up to expectations. It has some flaws and the story was orientated around John himself less than I'd have liked - however, I really think a lot of the criticism is harsh. I can appreciate that they couldn't just do another all-in-one-setting rerun of the original, and wanted to take it in another direction. The motivations and actions of the students were poorly written but the central premise of the story is still so captivating that I think, contrary to some comments here, that fans of the first film will enjoy and should watch Holocene.
