Breaking Infinity

I enjoy sci fi. It's my favourite genre. I even enjoy bad sci fi. But this movie takes bad to a whole new level.

I could only manage watching half this movie. There may very well have been a logical ending tying in all the confusing bits, but the monotonous pace of the first half made it seem unlikely.

Nobody is acting, they're simply reading their scripts. The ever present clipboard must have been helpful for the doctor in learning her lines. There's no character development. There's certainly no action.

Do yourself a favour and go watch 2012 again. At least that movie is good for a laugh.

Warning - I only got 15 minutes through this till I decided it was no longer worth my time so bear that in mind.

A cool concept maybe but it literally has so many jumps between different scenes it's confusing, but not interesting.

You're given nothing on the characters to make you interested either, the actors have no real chance to show any personality. It starts off in a treatment facility of some kind, and rather than building the interest takes you out of that space, the moment the movie starts to build interest it jumps away from the interest and starts again

The only good thing is the look of the film.

The high rating reviews are totally manufactured. No doubt about it. This film is low budget and guess what? It feels cheap and that has a reflection in the acting, the pace and more importantly the infantile, confusing and non-sensical (even for sci-fi!) plot.

At times I felt second hand embarrassment from watching this.

I watched many low budget sci-fi films, badly done, but with a good plot. That is all you have in these situations, just a good story. This film is not one of them.

I really regret having rented this film. I could have use those four quid to buy sleeping pills and I would've had more fun than watching this film.

I have seen few poorer films ( hate the word movies) than this effort. I realise each viewer will have their own criteria as to what makes a film watchable but surely top of the list would be ; 1. Good acting 2. Decent dialogue 3. A buy in from the viewer regarding the protagonist(s). We should care about them, or hate them.

This film has failed on all counts.

The acting is stilted, with banal verbal interactions and I feel nothing for the characters.

There is no comparison between Breaking Infinity and the two other films in my title for this review which I believe is the target audience. I could easily re watch those two but this one.. Yes, I realise this is a low-budget film but then so were Paranormal Activity, El Mariachi and The Blair Witch Project. The best bit of this film is the Welsh valley scenery.

Only one positive.. at least I saved a pound watching it in SD.

With the current 4.8 rating here, I'm becoming increasingly disappointed with overall IMDB user reviews, which are showing an entire generation that is becoming so immersed in fast-action, CGI-heavy films that they can no longer appreciate a good, basic story line. This film isn't the best ever made, but it deserves better than the low score we see here.

It is difficult to review this film without spoilers, so what can be safely reviewed is the cinematography (quite beautiful), the sets (done well enough for a sci fi film), the acting (decent on the part of all actors), the music score (which fits well with the story), and the story-line itself... which holds together from the beginning to the end. That story may be a bit over the head of some viewers (quantum entanglement, light / time relationship and universal harmonics), so perhaps that's why some didn't like it. But this is science fiction-- and one should expect a bit of science.

In all the entire film holds together, tells the story, end of show. If there is any flaw in the show it is the paradox of complex concepts mixed with a film that overall is not fleshed out well enough (thus my rating of 7 rather than higher). They really needed to provide a bit more closure in the last 20 minutes, needed to end it tighter, needed to tie a few strings together (even if they're unnecessary to the overall plot).

The relationship between the two main scientists needed to be better-developed, and the romantic relationship better evolved so the viewer can relate better to the two main characters. All films have their flaws.

But despite those flaws the story is decent, the time-travel theme is neither boring nor ridiculous (as we see in so many such films), and the movie has an actual ending rather than just leaving the audience up in the air. These days, that alone deserves a few stars. ;D.
