Infinitum: Subject Unknown

Boring, unoriginal and really not worth the watch.

"Infinitum: Subject Unknown" is a Sci-fi movie in which we watch a woman trapped in a parallel universe trying to understand what is going on while she is also trying to find a way to escape. She has to be fast otherwise she will start over again.

I did not know what to expect from this movie but I was curious enough to watch it. I have to say that I found it different and it did not make any sense in the end or maybe I did not understand it. The direction which was made by Matthew Butler-Hart it was not the best and in my opinion he could present everything he wanted about parallel universes and the changes that can occur with a better way. All in all, I have to say that "Infinitum: Subject Unknown" is a very different movie and I suggest you to skip it if you want to watch it just for Ian McKellen's interpretation.

I have to admit that I was a bit excited when I sat down to watch the 2021 sci-fi movie "Infinitum: Subject Unknown" from writers Matthew Butler-Hart and Tori Butler-Hart. Now, normally I am not overly keen on sci-fi movies, but this one definitely had an interesting cover/poster and it had none other than Ian McKellen himself on the cast list.

Not even 30 minutes into the movie and I was bored out of my mind. Wow, this movie was an atrocious heap of rubbish. The storyline was just such a cluttered mess that there was absolutely no enjoyment to be found there. And there was nothing that appealed to me. And sitting down to watch a movie and ending up being bored to tears is not my kind of entertainment. So no, "Infinitum: Subject Unknown" was a massive swing and a miss.

The acting performances in "Infinitum: Subject Unknown" weren't exactly stellar. And how or why Ian McKellen opted to be in movie such as this is simply beyond my comprehension.

"Infinitum: Subject Unknown" is not a movie that I would recommend you wasting your time, money or effort on. It simply was just not a good movie.

My rating of this 2021 sci-fi movie from director Matthew Butler-Hart lands on a two out of ten stars.

One of those movies that you feel bad starting it...and still watching to see that it will end even more badly .... ufff such a waste of time ...feeling sorry for all those people working on the movie :( and the sound - the audio team is... i guess from theater kind of style ( if so... i understand them ), even I felt the low budget audio team or else... blah - if you want to feel almost miserable - just do it ;)

If your expecting Mckellen then he appears for about a minute and a half.

Then the awful hilarity ensues.

You're trapped in an attic with hands bound, but don't open a window to shout for help or break glass to cut your bounds. You do however go to sleep on the floor, even though two mattresses are actually in the room. After waking you discover you weren't trapped, there were just empty boxes blocking the staircase, yes, EMPTY BOXES, shocking. Subsequently, you go downstairs and instead of looking for something to cut your bound hands, our hero decides to see if a piano works, yup that well-known device for cutting ties.

That is as coherent as this terrible drivel gets.

As said, the scores of 10/10 are clearly friends, strange that they haven't reviewed anything else and the ones that have also reviewed the previous films by this couple. C'mon people, loyalty is one thing but 10/10 is for Alien, Lawrence of Arabia, The Godfather Part 2, Blade Runner etc.
