   After Mike Cahill's enchanting Another Earth, I expected a lot from this. Especially because Brit Marling stars in it again - maybe one of the most underrated actresses today. My expectations were met. I Origins provokes atheists and evidence-based scientists by providing us with a story of a scientist that starts to question the existence of something metaphysical. Being an atheist myself, I nonetheless detest how self-righteous atheists try to debunk everything religious or - even more arrogant - metaphysical. You might call me a humble atheist, since I don't have the urge to preach my way of looking at the world to other people, nor do I feel better than those who believe in something transcendent. Because of all that, I love I Origins. Not because it convinces me of reincarnation, afterlife or God, but because it shows that spiritualism isn't affected by science and therefore even hardcore atheists are susceptible to it. So while this movie is obviously sci-fi, it feels very real and even hopeful. The wonderful soundtrack, dreamy images and slow paced build-up create a majestic movie experience, just like Cahill's Another Earth. I was quite surprised to hear he's planning a sequel to I Origins, but I must admit the post-credits scene captures the imagination and a second feature that'll elaborate on that, will be most welcome. Highly recommended! 9 years 3 months ago
