Breaking Infinity

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.

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.

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.

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.
