Review of Infini

Infini (2015)
4/10
The film infected itself halfway through
8 October 2023
This film actually starts out ok and its lower budget still pulls off a space station, but even though it has a good plot premise and story idea to run with, they don't. Half maybe even 3/4 of the film just flips about fight scenes.

Basically we have a rescue crew beamed to a remote space station, infected with a parasite that will drive you into a murdering self harming frenzy. Our surviving hero is readily waiting as he fights off infection with thoughts of family and love, (yeah it's that kinda movie) and a handy unknown fellow survivor waiting to attack to infect them all.

You'd think they would go down the Alien or The Thing route and have them picked off one by one and just when it looks like it might go this way, boom infect a whole bunch of them in one go and just let the rest of the movie be a bunch of bloody duals between the lot of them.

That's really all there is to it and I can assure you, the chopping the fight scenes up so there are ten or so seconds missing between each cut to indicate they are "crazy" gets old real quick and when this is used to pad out the movie for way to long in some scenes it just become down right boring.

The acting is okay for what they had to work with (shouting one liners at each other), and the fighting itself is both a bit ridiculous and very staged.

Skip this one, it's not sci-fi or horror and basically in the group infection scene, the film was also infected and the parasite ate its own plot and pace.

If I am honest I only made it to the end because the guys are attractive and in tight shirts.
