USS Callister: Into Infinity

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.

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!

I've been waiting for continuation of this story for years, USS Callister was the best episode of entire Black Mirror, deserving it's own spin off, I can't believe they did a sequel at least in the end... And it did not disappoint... This is peak TV at the moment. The story included the best ideas of Black Mirror incorporated into a multiplayer space game and a stellar cast... We explore the fight for survival of a crew of USS Callister after they were moved into a mmo game Infinity , that has 30 million players. Believe it or not this gameplay now somewhat exists in Star Citizen.

Anyway, enjoy and I will go back to space piracy...

Just watched Black Mirror "USS Callister: Into Infinity" and honestly, it's one of the best episodes in the series. Everything about it stood out-the story, the acting, the vibe. It had me hooked from the very first moment. It's the kind of episode that stays with you long after it ends. Honestly, it could've been a standalone movie, and if it had, it would've been one of the best. This is a true masterpiece. And Cristin Milioti-wow, her performance was incredible. She truly brought her character to life with such depth and emotion. The writing and dialogues were so on point, capturing every little detail and emotion perfectly. Can't stop thinking about it.

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!
