Infinity Chamber

This is a very likable piece of Science Fiction. I watch tons of Science Fiction and read tons of it too. The writer/director borrowed some good ideas and turned them into something unique. A bit of Hal from 2001, a bit of Groundhog Day, and a nice Philip K. Dick tone of "what's real?" If you know a lot about the genre, you'll know that a ton of ideas are cross pollinated. The Matrix took a lot of standard tropes. James Cameron probably has a reference book on SF tropes. So I'm not saying anything is wrong with the film besides the slow start. The lead actor carried the film well. This movie is a good watch.

Movies that basically have 1 character are very hard to pull off. This film does it. The story was interesting and the acting is good. Kept me intrigued right to the end. Would definitely recommend this film.

Good, independent Sci-fi movie. I think it's a mix (or influenced by) of 2001, Cube, Matrix, and Moon - in it's own independent way. Thoughtful and interesting. Partly Captivating. I recommend!

My first review - I don't do reviews, but this was worth watching. I nearly didn't because, like many I guess, I'm often influenced by the average overall IMDb score. It's low budget I understand now, but didn't notice when watching. Well acted and a good storyline that keeps your interest.

Recommended from me!

This super low-budget science-fiction thriller (apparently one of the ten cheapest films to ever be shown on Netflix), essentially, proves that it's not about the cash, it's about the execution. Sure, 'Infinity Chamber (2017)' looks relatively low-fi when it's at its most ambitious, but this doesn't detriment any aspect of the piece - in fact, I'd argue that it forms a crucial part of its aesthetic - and it certainly doesn't look half bad considering that the central set was built by the director himself out of rubbish he found behind a shop. Really, a film like this relies on the strength of its writing. Thankfully, the writing here is on-point. The story itself is sort of an amalgamation of a few distinct inspirations - which include, but aren't limited to, '2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)', 'Source Code (2011)' and 'Moon (2009)' - but it still feels fresh and keeps you on your toes throughout. There are also a number of genuinely intriguing twists and turns to keep things feeling fresh, some of which work better than others. The piece plays with some really interesting ideas, weaving its grander themes and world-building into its smaller, more claustrophobic narrative remarkably well. It hints towards its various meanings and upcoming reveals using clever set-design and an engaging non-linear structure. It also concludes with just a hint of ambiguity (and I do only mean a hint). Pretty much everything is revealed naturally, drip-fed at the perfect rate, and this makes for a very compelling watch. The performances are good, too, which all help sell the somewhat heightened conceit. The lead, in particular, is a surprisingly nuanced and evolving screen-presence - especially considering that, for the most part, he's both the sole person we see and is acting opposite, essentially, an empty room. Overall, this is an entertaining and engaging film that makes excellent use of its micro budget to bring its high concept to life. 7/10.
