Infinite

A very intriguing concept turned into a big slick shiny MarkieW look-at-me object requiring constant 'juvenile fiction' level narrative exposition and incessant suspension of disbelief to the point of disassociation with reality, One of those scripts that won't even obey the parameters of the physics set by the world they created thus making 'stupid' the subtext of what would otherwise be really cool action and ideas.

I wrote that a half hour in and didn't need to change it by the end.

You can tell that this script was taken from a book and was pressed into a 1h 45min runtime for Hollywood.

Result: Unintelligent plot without enough character development, over the top acting, silly one-liners and too much bang-bang to cover up the plot holes and the inconsistencies.

Some good things: A few of the actors seem to have tried to take the material seriously. Also, the photography is up to par here with great sets and beautiful visuals.

And most of the action sequences are impressive.

So these are a few reasons to watch if you want to switch off and just kill some time with this mindless flick. I personally didn't hate it but...the plot...can't be saved.

Maybe if it was 2,5h long it could have been a bit better...? We will never know.

5,9/10.

It's an expensive amalgam of cliches.

Flat in many levels, especially acting and plot wise.

It's maybe a good "sunday afternoon" movie if you want to waste some time.

Great concept, felt a little rushed, not alot of character development going on, which for a film with this kind of story line should be front and centre priority no.1, hard to buy into the characters.

Could have been epic

Decent film though!!! Got to love Marky Mark.

I saw the trailer for this movie not too long ago and was expecting something great. I was under the impression that I would be watching an action packed sc-fi movie with a enticing story.

Unfortunately, this movie fell short of my expectations. Right off the bat the movie throws you into a monologue from the main character telling you about the story. There seems to be a strong attempt to relate to the audience which did not work for me. There was more telling than showing for the first 1/3 of the movie to try to set it up.

In addition, there was a significant amount of obvious CGI. With what looks like is a large movie budget, the dialogue and visuals fell short of expectations. There were too many cliche moments. This is a movie that one can sit back and enjoy, but not one that I would recommend seeking out.

The concept is very cool, however the execution was disappointing.
