Breaking Infinity

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!

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 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.

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.

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.
