It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

This is the very first review of myself... To begin with, I am very fascinated to watch such wonderful low budget movies and especially this movie has really touching scenes, I am sure the one who watches it will not be disappointed by any means possible. Since after intro, I Origin starts as a love story between two total strangers, who are like two oppositely charged particles, but somehow they are connected to each other long before they have met.It is really hard to give any idea about how love, hatred and passion are all interrelated with each other without giving any spoilers. For this reason, I will keep it straight, while watching the movie you are not just gonna see some moving pictures but the story itself will attract you like a black hole pulling light into. And I am sure that you are going to live through the exact same stages of falling in love, losing all your connection with earth and finding hope again into something that was very important for you a long time ago.So all in all, I Origin is truly worth watching movie and you will not get bored but I guarantee that you are gonna get piss off at one stage.

Film lures you in early with some scientific sleight-of-hand and then reveals the true agenda of writer/director-A weak attempt to bash science in its entirety without any real critique on the complexities of the subject. Another insecure spiritualist who feels like science doesn't acknowledge their feelings enough. In the context of the recent upsurge in climate-change denyers and anti-vaxxers, I actually found this film offensive.

I like the battle between religion and science, but in an unbiased way. This movie tries "to bias" (as the child's name) your beliefs. If you want something to be believed by people, use facts. I'm not sure what was the purpose of writer, but here, we are watching a possible and not-yet-proved way that spirits exist. That's not good.It doesn't explain how a spirit can change before resurrection. As we see, Salomina's personality is different from Sofi's. How's that? If they share the same spirit in their bodies, how come that Salomina failed the test? On the other hand, the spirit should at least remember Ian's face.Just referencing to a kid that scares from an elevator isn't scientific.They concluded that two eyes can be exactly the same, so can the brains. I couldn't find a relation between these results and existence of the spirit. How does spirit shape the eyes or brains? Is there a one-to-one relationship between eyes/brains shape and spirits? I can accept that two brains may process in the same way. They perhaps need the exact same structure. It even makes more sense when we see that Tobias passes its three tests but Salommina which is older that Tobias (and perhaps some years of living, geographical difference and her lifestyle has changed it's personality and the way he thinks or perefer things) fails.So many questions are not answered. For more, see other reviews.

I rarely write reviews here, but as a fan of science fiction, I am compelled to warn potential viewers about this movie. In the first half of the movie I was able to suspend disbelief and enjoy the ride, but eventually the movie became "spiritual". This not necessarily a bad thing, but it is not handled well at all here. I expect that any true science fiction fan will also be sorely disappointed, but those who need their religious views supported will probably find the movie enjoyable.
