Infini 2015 9 out of 10
This
was apparently a small budget Aussie movie that I had never even heard of
before. It centered on an elite search and rescue team being sent via
some type of teleportation to an outer rim mining facility to rescue the lone
survivor of a biological outbreak. The other part of their mission is to make
sure that the outbreak doesn't get sent here in the form of a payload of
whatever is being mined being sent back. The movie started off really
good and I kept waiting for it to take a weird turn that I wouldn't like or to
become stale at some point --but it never did. I watched this online on
Netflix and the sound with the headphones was incredible. The movie
borrowed from many other sci-fi films. It was a little bit Pandorum and
little bit Starship Troopers, Alien, and The Thing.
I guess it borrowed
from all the right movies. There was a sense of tension that remained at
a high level throughout the entire movie.
Basically
the elite rescue team reaches the outpost to find a weird and creepy flash
frozen space station where apparently everyone had gone crazy. They find
some disturbing stuff and then finally stumble upon the survivor. You don't
know whether he has been taken over by the parasitic alien life form or not for
most of the film. He could just be crazy. Everything that is just
happening might just be happening in his mind. The film does a great job of
balancing and revealing he mystery of the mining facility and the end is
satisfying even though you could interpret it either way based on whether you
are a optimist or not.
I
would definitely recommend this low budget film to sci-fi fans.
