Infinitum: Subject Unknown

Boring, unoriginal and really not worth the watch.

Surely every movie fan has been thinking about how to use the empty streets during the pandemic lockdowns for a film.

They make for a great background, if your story and character are engaging. Unfortunately the latter is not the case.

For a film with no budget wasn't bad. Not taking that into account, it was a bit simplistic in a complex way. Let me explain that. Yes the physics concept behind the idea is complex but if you get that then really the whole thing is just literally in some way the same thing over and over again. The story is quite basic in facts. So as much as I like the visual representation of a physics concep, I would have liked more story. I would have liked more background, know who the girl is, how she got enrolled, was it volontary like we finally learn was the casefor the people in the cube or was she forced into it? Also does she know who she is?

As for the presence of Sir Ian, frankly, him or another actor wouldn't make much difference for the time he is actually on screen.

A drab and annoying film with a badly rendered idea based on one concept. Which wasn't even explored. Kind of like groundhog day but without any of the humour, charm, direction or other characters Groundhog day had. I love Sci fi and can even tolerate mediocre sci-fi but this wasn't even that. Ian McKellen had one line! Filmed in midst of a pandemic on a phone? It shows!

"Infinitum: Subject Unknown" is a Sci-fi movie in which we watch a woman trapped in a parallel universe trying to understand what is going on while she is also trying to find a way to escape. She has to be fast otherwise she will start over again.

I did not know what to expect from this movie but I was curious enough to watch it. I have to say that I found it different and it did not make any sense in the end or maybe I did not understand it. The direction which was made by Matthew Butler-Hart it was not the best and in my opinion he could present everything he wanted about parallel universes and the changes that can occur with a better way. All in all, I have to say that "Infinitum: Subject Unknown" is a very different movie and I suggest you to skip it if you want to watch it just for Ian McKellen's interpretation.
