I read many good reviews about the film and I was excited to watch it. The idea is really brilliant but the way the story handled this idea was less than expected. There is this strange sensation and unpleasant feeling when the movie reached to the end.

This movie is so boring and pretentious. The worst is Pitt's interpretation, so arrogant and obnoxious. He should remember himself that he started in Dawson's Creek, perhaps his interpretations would be more humble. And this goddamn cliché that the men are the rational ones, women are just crazy little creatures, oh man, this is so bad.

This movie is iconic. I like it because it shows something I really confused about. It mingles the spirituality with science. The eye in its complexity is known to be the window to our souls. The movie is beautifully directed and actors are so perfect. I believe you are gonna surely like this movie if you like this genre.

Well first off, the acting is superb. Michael Pitt is one of the most underrated actors out there, he's terrific as always. Astrid Berges- Frisbey is amazing as the free spirited girl that we all want to attain. Her character reminds one of Kate Winslet's character in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Brit Marling is good as the 'safe' choice. However, Marling is a great actress, and has been better. The chemistry between Pitt and Frisbey though is amazing. The passion is right there as we have all felt that kind of passion in a relationship or two, or within a deep dream we've had. Cahill writes such a magnificent script, a great writer he is. He puts such amazing and thought provoking analogies(touching on butterfly effect, reincarnation, miracles, destiny, God, etc.) in this film without compromising the film itself i.e. the film is never contrived in any of the analogies that are used where in a lesser film trying to use analogies like Cahill did would come off contrived. As the film says, you can't prove it, but you can't disprove it. What a wild and food for thought concept that we could be reincarnated and the eyes could be the proof. The iris recognition only recognizes (as far as we know) maybe 5 million or more people in the world. Out of those people who knows whose eyes might or might not come up as someone else's who died(and if they did, we would never hear about it, it would be kept under wraps). But just imagine if 7 billion people had the iris recognition, who knows who may or may not have someone else's eyes and indeed be reincarnated. Absolutely brilliant, brilliant! Again, Like the character says 'you can't prove it, but you can't disprove it either.' After the credits roll, there is an extra scene that provides more food for thought, however I could have done without this scene, in a way it kind of took a little bit away from the magic and mysticism of this film, but at the same time it wasn't too bad either as it was interesting and could have been true as well as Iris Recognition first began(they say) in the late 1920's. Mike Cahill directed and wrote a beauty here, his opus. I Origins is a wonderful, beautiful film that is most definitely worth watching.
