Breaking Infinity

This is one of those smartly written, low budget sci fi films that tackles a big concept on a small budget. The mystery and relationship are interesting and compelling. I was surprised by the twists, but I never felt lost. The acting, writing and direction are all very good. I don't post very often and only when I really like (or dislike) something, and so I was genuinely surprised by the negativity in some of the posts. Maybe it comes down to expectations. This is not an action film. It's a quiet, thoughtful sci fi story with a good little mystery and a nice human relationship at its heart. I enjoyed it.

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.

Firstly, do not believe the 10/10 or 9/10 reviews for this movie: it is a low-budget, poorly-acted, and directed, movie with low-quality props that were supposed to give the illusion of a new and radical method to travel through time.

There is no chemistry between the two main characters (Liam and Emma): they come across as unsuited to each other and one questions why Zoe Cunningham was cast in the female protagonist lead role to begin with - oh, wait, she was one of the producers, that must explain it...

Apart from the laughably poor 'acting' by Zoe Cunningham, it was the prop used to represent the control panel for the incredible 'time machine': what looked like a Betamax A/B offline editor with only the power chord plugged into it despite it being easily discernable that the 'control panel' had numerous inputs and outputs that were simply going unused. How did the control panel actually control anything? Maybe this was one of the 'sci-fi' elements the director and producers wished to get across - machinery that operates entirely wirelessly even though the Garret character had to refer to his analogue wristwatch to time events... laughable at best.

And the Garret character themselves: every sentence ended with 'mate'. Every sentence! Now, I am Australian and we do use the word 'mate' a lot, but even we do not finish every utterance with 'mate'.

The movie is a joke and not worth your valuable time. The only grace was that Jonny Phillips who played 'Carter' looked like he knew what he was doing even if that character was pretty stereotypical.

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.

This movie is not a blockbuster, nor a super CGI tech feast, nor an action thriller, it is a very simple yet well written study in messing around with time. Similar to the old 1960's TV show "Time Tunnel" with it's almost identical time portal setup, this movie tells of a man who is the victim of an accident in time and his path to fix it before the world ends because of it. It is very low budget, and literally most of the action is in a lab or out near a pile of rocks. Not bad for what you get as far as story and rather good acting. Those who put this down or who were "bored" didn't give it a real chance. It is quite good and if you have a peaceful night to enjoy an engaging film, this does a good job. It does keep you interested if you have the brains to figure out what's going on. Nothing questionable, no nudity, no foul language so its good for everyone that can handle a bit of a mind game. Enjoy!
