Trivia

Infini was designed to be visually reminiscent of the 1979-1982 era of genre cinema which included The Thing, Apocalypse Now, Wrath of Khan, Empire Strikes Back, Alien and The Shining but the filmmakers wanted it to have a jarring narrative that had no traditional form or standard three act structure. Shane Abbess is quoted as saying the movie was 'a deranged love letter of sorts.'

Goofs

When Chief mentions the singularity near the O.I. Infini to explain the time dilation, he says that 1 minute and 14 seconds of Earth time would be 24 hours of O.I. Infini time, which actually means a time dilation on Earth. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, time is dilated near a singularity and not on Earth, which is the opposite of what Chief says. Einstein's theory means that 24 hours of Earth time would actually be 1 minute and 14 seconds of O.I. Infini time.

User Reviews

Way better then 70% of sci fi movies in the last 3 years

OK so it's not the common type of Hollywood big budged, I agree. Well you might even need to drink 2 or 3 beers to get inside that universe, but if you do it's a damn good movie, it keeps you thinking, the message is simple, yet I can't say I have seen a similar idea so far and I've seen thousands of movies.

Acting is decent, so are the few action scenes, which I have to say they are not many but enough to keep you hooked.

Who knows if it had a budget like Alien or Prometheus it might have been quite a masterpiece. My opinion, give it a try, you might really like it if you are a sci fi fan.
