Breaking Infinity

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.

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!

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.

Just saw the premier at Curzon Soho, Shaftesbury Avenue and really enjoyed it. Inventive and original, great performances in particular by both Neil Bishop and Zoe Cunningham. The premise of the film is interesting and I would recommend this to anyone who likes intelligent and thought provoking science fiction. The film is delivered on a limited budget but all the lead actors make the most of their roles and ensure the film delivers. They are convincing in their characters and they hold the film together by the strength of their performances.

Congratulations to cast and crew for a great production.

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.
