A man discovers that his hallucinations are actually visions from past lives.

First things first for those of you who might be interested Infinite was adapted D. Eric Maikranz’s 2009 novel The Reincarnationist Papers. Okay, based purely on the action sequences, most notably the opening sequence Infinite really needed to be released in the cinemas. Now I hear those of you out there who are saying that because of the pandemic streaming services have slain cinema. If we do let the streaming services kill of cinema, we need to realise that we lose epic science-fiction, action and other genre movies until larger television screens become affordable for the average family. I love the premise of Infinite and see it as sitting somewhere between The Matrix and Timur Bekmambetov’s 2008 movie Wanted.
I’ve enjoyed a lot of the action movies that Antoine Fuqua has directed, the ones that really stand out in my mind such as The Replacement Killers and King Arthur have an aura of cool about them, I would definitely place Infinite on that list. ‘Though Infinite does have a great cast and as far as genocidal maniacs go (yes, I realise how odd this is to say) I thought that Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Bathurst 2000 had a valid point in his monologue when he was talking about human stupidity. I was actually more impressed by the action sequences and some of the gadgets throughout the movie. Because even though this does deal with the concept off reincarnation, this is the perfect movie to watch, forget about the world and fill your face full of junk food. If I ever get around to rewatching this I hope I have the presence of mind to watch this while using my mini projector.
