Considered strictly as a visual experience, this one, which might be described as a faith-based emo-science romance-thriller, is often quite beguiling.

Rating: C- --
I Origins tries desperately to imbue a deeper metaphysical meaning with its narrative, but the alignment of all its concepts come off as disjointed and pretentious.

The Film Stage
4 stars out of 5 -- It’s a film of thematic contrasts: seeing and blindness, movie love versus real love, faith over science.

Rating: 1.5/5 --
While conceptually I Origins is no more absurd than Upstream Colour, it offers a lot less to chew on, depending on its stars to supply what credibility they can.

One laugh, courtesy of Pitt's intellect-signifying dicky bow; the rest is arrant, po-faced nonsense.

It plays out like Dharma and Greg-the rebellious and spiritual woman who woos the straight laced logical man-and this lack of originality is boring.

As of yet, we have no science on reincarnation, but the science fiction is definitely getting warmer.
