Admirable film.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Typical bad reviews for this movie read like a 3rd grade book report: I didn't like this because I've seen better zombies... I didn't pay any attention to the rest of the movie.Here is how the adults do it. Biggest problem with this movie is because it was familiar. I get the Event Horizon angle. I also get a similar feeling from Doom. Alien? Maybe. Take away all of the inanimate objects from Alien or Aliens and there are only some rare similarities left. No terror. No Bishop. No power-loader. Hell yes to battling demons.This is not a shocking and gory horror film in which you hope your favorite survives to the end. Instead, it's a trippy sci-fi thriller which has two goals to interest viewers. First, figure out what's dangerous to the characters. Second, have an acid flashback. This genera is difficult to follow for the young and the sober, which explains most of the negative reviews. That also explains most of the 10+ reviews.There are many major flaws in this film which would normally jail it in B movie territory, for sure. But, unlike many other B movies, trash talking it and gem spotting are so easy.There's almost no background given on most characters. You might miss some if you don't have subtitles turned on. On the flip, you can watch it with friends and take a drink when a character dies because nobody cares.Here are the numbers:Acting: 9/10 One of the best gems is how the actors crush their performances.Dialogue: 8/10 Troopers out of their minds, trying to express something, makes some strange poetry. Whit and his wife are perfect.Music: 2/10 Only way to get a worse rating is if there was no music...Premise: 4/10 Why are there so many pseudo-important people who then take up a lot of time by saying unimportant things only to disappear for half, if not all of the movie?Story Development: 9/10 Happy ending?Comedy: 4/10 Many respectable attempts. I laughed once.Sets: 7/10 Wait, didn't he just run and duck past that same steam vent before? I guess that happens because every room in sci-fi has to be small. Detail was good and functional.Effects: 6/10 Talcum and dried blood are the only makeups. Functional for visual and sound.Cinematography: 8/10 Camera operator should get a raise.Editing: 7/10 Why is a dirty jump called a dirty jump? I get the feeling that half of the movie was cut out to shrink it down to only two hours.Grade: 64/100 Rounds down to a 6/10. If you are a fan of sci-fi, then don't miss this one.
The film is set in the 23rd century, in some branch of our current timeline. The greatest source of wealth is mining in interstellar space. Travel is done by slipstreaming; that is, one encodes people as information, then sends the information via FTL transmission; at the destination, the information is decoded into people. Some of the mining sites 'enjoy' high gravity and very noticeable time dilation relative to Earth. One such site is struck by disaster.An unexpected number of cascading failures forces a search and rescue team to search for any survivors, as well as a way to stop a scheduled payload from colliding with Earth.Much of Earth's interstellar travel infrastructure has been destroyed. Earth itself needs to be saved from a scheduled collision of terminal strength. One of the unexpected failures that prompted the mission was a breakout of fast acting deadly plague. How many of the team will survive, given that those infected all turn violent and do their best to kill anyone else? Will anyone figure out the plague, if that is indeed what it is?I rather liked the ending, which redeemed some of the early clichés and grimness.
Moon and Ex Machina are two films that have shown what can be achieved with a great idea and a low budget.Infini has a low budget and a low rent screenplay which is incomprehensible and it shows. Too much of the film reminds you of Event Horizon, Aliens, The Thing but those films were better and had a bigger budget.Whit (Daniel MacPherson) leaves his loving wife behind to go on a dangerous and well paid teleport mission in a galactic outpost where a search and rescue mission goes wrong. The planet is made of some kind of alien biological material which infects its human inhabitants and they later display a violent blood lust. This primordial ooze could be heading for earth and wipe out the entire planet.The film is murky and dark. It might be set in the 23rd century but their are a lot of F bombs dropped by the cast who also resort to increasing violence in the second half of the film. Uninteresting and uninspired.
I really enjoyed it . Despite what other haters (who give 1 star even to their mother if she doesn't love them even when they are on the toilet), I would recommend this movie for the SF fans. It leaves a trace of mystery in the end. Acting is decent. It has tension.There is a bit of gore but not overdone. The special effects have done a decent job.The story although starts a bit cliché is ending in an interesting way.Actors are good enough for the plot.There is a constant sense of mystery in the action, which i really liked.I liked it! You could like it too, but anyway , at least don't be a hater. Cheers! :)
