Infini (2015)

Thanks for the memories!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

From the get go you knew you were in for a real sci-fy ride. I will not put any spoilers here cause it is just that good.

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.

While some of the budget shortcuts are obvious (hey, we've seen this hallway a dozen times already), they spent the money where it counts. The performances are mostly excellent, but the actors weren't given enough to do with the characters. They were given diverse motivations and hinted at interesting backstories but then very little time was spent exploring them. It was just all a tease. The film would've been better had it not felt the need for excessive chasing and fighting. I preferred the psychological tension versus the physical threats. The film didn't trust its audience. They had the potential for a great brainy sci-fi film, but felt it necessary (investors maybe?) to add some cheap action.Final conclusion: Worth checking out

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! :)
