The Chemicals Between Them
Chemistry is a funny thing. In one respect, it is supremely predictable; mix this chemical with that one, and you will get this result/reaction. But in others, it is amazingly unpredictable. Take for example, three films released over the past month: X-Men: Origins: Wolverine, Star Trek, and Terminator: Salvation. Each are special effects filled genre films, essentially sequels, attempting to cash-in on the built-in fanbase and name recognition, released in the prime summer blockbuster season. Each, in its own way, is a mix of certain chemicals. Yet the results have been far far different for each. Let us look closer, shall we?

Review: The Man from Earth [2007]
An impromptu goodbye party for Professor John Oldman becomes a mysterious interrogation after the retiring scholar reveals to his colleagues he is an immortal who has walked the earth for 14,000 years. (Eric Wilkinson, IMDB)
You’d think this is a boring movie, the Man from Earth and I’d grant you that. The entire film takes place in an old, rustic cabin in the middle of nowhere. But it should be said that this is the last screenplay written by sci-fi writer Jerome Bixby, the man who brought you the episode “Mirror, Mirror” on Star Trek and, among other things. And apparently this man knows how to keep an audience in place for the 87 minutes this movie runs.
