It starts off slow, then gets better and better.....Nothing but dialog. Very well written.

It stars David Lee Smith as John Oldman, a departing university professor, who puts forth the notion that he is more than 14,000 years old. The entire film is set in and around Oldman's house during his farewell party and consists almost entirely of dialogue. The plot advances through intellectual arguments between Oldman and his fellow faculty members.

On Prime. The sequel (The man from Earth-Holocene) is also on Prime but I've not got around to it yet.

 
This is curious. Someone just mentioned this on BlueSky. I have seen it 3 times.

Spending thousands of years with practically no technology. Pretty annoying.
