Strong and Moving!
A Brilliant Conflict
Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
View MoreI watched this movie after somebody said it's similar to Event Horizon. Is it? Well, it's in the same vein, using inter-dimensional travel to create the horror of "unknown".. but the "horror" isn't really that horrifying.Don't get me wrong, it's still far more competent and entertaining than the pile of sh*t that Prometheus and Alien: Covenant were. Just don't expect it to match Event Horizon.Primarily because, like with most directors/writers, in Infini, they make the mistake of trying to explain too much. Even bigger mistake is to show the enemy itself, but then it'd have to be a psychological horror, which this ain't.Also, I would've preferred they had ended the movie when the hero "wakes up" (not a spoiler) instead of them showing more. It'd left the ending up the interpretation, like they say they wanted to.. but I don't think it does. Kinda explains pretty clearly what happened and who changed and why. Kinda disappointed in that.Oh well, still a good movie. Worth watching.
View MoreI actually put off watching this movie for 2 years before I finally bit the bullet. I felt the story line was too Cliche, I'm tired of Zombies and Body Snatcher movies.That being said WOW!!!!! I was totally blown away by this movie. I went a tad bit overboard with the 10 due to all the negative votes but it is clearly at least a 9. I can't go into details because it would spoil the ending but WOW, Clearly Amazing. One of the best Sci-Fi space movies I've ever seen.I recommend watching this movie.
View MoreSo, this movie is really about one dude really. Yes, there is a whole group, but its really about him. Its about him, and what would he do to not only take care of his family, but get back to them.They live in a world where 95% of ppl are at or below the poverty line. So, he takes a job that is hella dangerous so that he can take care of his family. It also happens to be that this job includes slip streaming, think teleportation, via a implant in their neck. Of course, like all movies like this, the first day on the job, gets real.The main character, Whit Carmichael, is forced to illegally slip, to a mining colony, that also just happens to be under attack from something. A whole center of slip streamers is dead, because of what came back from that mining colony. So, what do we do? We send MORE people. Not only are they going to fetch Whit, but it turns out that, that mining colony is going to send us a killer package.I get feelings of Event Horizon, The Thing, some Alien tossed in. If you enjoy movies that have space paranoia, blood, aliens, and interesting tech, this maybe a good pick for you. Now, the story, acting and cinematic are wonderful in what is my opinion, a sci-fi horror movie. Its out of Australia, and every time I am blown away by a movie, it seems to of come from here.. It of course had it's bloody moments, but unlike some horror movies it's part of the story line. The blood, is part of the story line.Quickly you fall in love with some characters, and others you hate right away. But, don't get attached to anyone. Like, anyone.I would highly, highly, highly, suggest y'all taking the almost 2 hours to watch this one.
View MoreTypical 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.
