Infinite (2021)

Updated: Jun 18, 2021

My quick rating - 6,4/10. Don't be bothered by the hate. I think people got pissed that Paramount+ saw "F9" on the calendar and decided to one-up that movie with insanely ridiculous CGI action scenes. So the wanna be critics shit on this. Truth is, this movie has plenty of what I just mentioned to the point of plenty of eye rolling, but people also decide to miss a highly stylized story going on in this one. Tackling the concept of resurrection into a summer flick is not going to be an easy sell but Antoine Fuqua gave it his best shot and somewhat succeeded. Mark Wahlberg plays a schizophrenic guy who

is troubled by his incredible intelligence of things he shouldn't know and feelings of dreams that seem to be more like memories. Hence the resurrection story here, he is a part of a society of other people that keep returning back to life called the Infinite. But of course there is an evil side of these immortal like people led by a brilliantly played Chiwetel Ejiofor (when is he not). So in a fight to save all of the infinite good guys, and consequentially the entire planet, Wahlburg must remember his past lives to unlock a secret to save everyone. The action is top notch starting off with an intense car chase scene and regardless of some of it being done on a high end computer, it gave you little room to take a break and grab the popcorn. But this is exactly the definition of a popcorn flick. Wall to wall action with a surprisingly good plot that does find itself a bit confused at times but overall is a nice showing for the new streamer in town.

Since I believe in reincarnation, I'm a sucker for books/movies about it. (The book title is The Reincarnationist.) Thanks for not jumping on the bandwagon of bad reviews. lol
