USS Callister: Into Infinity

An Idiot Box Reviews - USS Callister: Into Infinity.

Despite not being as good as the first installment, USS Callister: Into Infinity is more than a worthy sequel. It takes a much darker approach than the first "film" while still having plenty of good jokes and beautiful cinematography with an even more shocking finale than the original!

All the cast members are incredible, and the show features some of the best acting in its history and multiple moments that can bring you to tears. The only real issue with the story is a lack in character development for some of the supporting members, but even then, they're all entertaining.

Definitely a worthy sequel, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a trilogy with Series 8!

The ending to S7 of Black Mirror was nothing short of spectacular. It was like the creators of Netflix's dystopian hit show, baked all of its best elements into one blockbuster. The season was great overall and it's clear that Black Mirror has returned to form after a bit more mediocre seasons recently.

As I mentioned, USS Callister: Into Infinity is reminiscent of a film you see in theaters. One charachteristic of such an experience is the audiovisual, which is on par with Marvel films. It's almost like you could change the name of the episode to USS Callister: Into Infinity War. Another trait the show shares with many feature films is having an absolutely fantastic cast, where especially Cristin Milioti shines. Black Mirror is so back, and it's better than ever.

Probably one of the greatest Black Mirror episodes out there. Best of the bunch of Season 7 and they are ALL great episodes!

The person playing the tech CEO absolutely nails the role and practically steals the show, but there are also fantastic jobs done by every single actor involved. Absolute "BRAVO" to the cast, the writers, the director, the cinemetographer and everyone else, the special effects are great and all of the characters are too.

What a treat to have this show around in this timeline and I can only hope the next season matches the outstanding writing and deep creative process this episode encapsulates.

I didn't mean that in an inappropriate way. Just saying there will be plenty of plot holes in this episode, but if you're capable; ignore them. This episode along with the context of the previous somehow manage to bring so many themes into a single piece of cinema. Mirroring the concepts showcased in Ready Player One, Severance, Star Wars/Trek, Inception, Interstellar, Everything Everwhere All at Once and our very own VR/AR, to create a well thought out and impressively creative world of its own.

It may be a bit confusing or simply a lot for those that aren't crazy about the multiverse. But to summarize, that stuff was entertaining. What a cast too!

This episode is such an exciting episode with an incredible concept. I just love everything about it, the storyline, the execution, the action were thrilling. This could have been a movie of its own and I would not have noticed. I like how clever it is and the concept makes sense, like a computer virus. The whole adventure was exciting and I love every character in this ep, even the bad guy. It didn't play out how you would think it was and that was a surprise factor that I very enjoyed. The ending was a surprise and I think this will set up for a follow-up episode. I hope they can extend this concept further too!
