Watch Infini

Infini is a science fiction thriller from 2015 that explores the concept of interstellar travel and its unforeseen consequences. The movie stars Daniel MacPherson as Whit Carmichael, a member of a search and rescue team who embarks on a mission to rescue the crew of a mining vessel that has gone silent. Set in the distant future, Infini portrays a world where humanity has developed faster-than-light travel technology that allows them to travel great distances across the galaxy. However, this technology comes at a cost, both financially and physically. It is revealed in the movie that every time someone uses a teleportation device, they experience a dark psychological side effect known as the 'screams.'

The story begins with a mining team on a remote planet. They find a mysterious artifact, and soon the crew members become infected with an unknown virus. One of the crewmembers has a breakdown and kills the others before killing herself. The remaining crew member, Whit's love interest, Doyle, (played by Grace Huang) narrowly escapes and makes it back to the mining company's headquarters.

The mining company dispatches a search and rescue team to the planet to find out what happened to the infected crew members and retrieve the artifact. Whit Carmichael, a seasoned member of the team, is tasked with leading the team. He is reluctant to go because he has a wife and child on Earth, and he is afraid of the potential effects of teleportation on his mind.

When the rescue team arrives on the planet, they discover that the virus has mutated and is not only dangerous to humans but also contagious. They quickly realized that the virus has spread not only to the mining vessel's crew but also to other planets. The team ends up trapped on the planet, and there is no way to return without risking spreading the mutated virus throughout the galaxy.

As the rescue team frantically attempts to find a way off the planet, they discover that the virus has a connection to the mysterious artifact. The artifact is an alien technology that is capable of creating alternate universes by creating gateways to other dimensions. The rescue team's mission quickly changes from rescuing the infected crew members to stopping the virus from spreading across the galaxy.

Infini creates a sense of unease that permeates the entire movie. Whit and his team face escalating challenges as they grapple with the ever-changing environment, time loops, and the insidiousness of the virus. There is a constant sense of danger, with unexpected twists and turns in the plot.

Throughout the movie, there are constant references to the costs of progress and the dangers of technology. The characters all undergo severe psychological stress and trauma from the multiple teleportation events they go through. Whit is particularly affected by the technology's psychological side effects, and they threaten his ability to lead the team effectively.

Infini's themes of interstellar travel and its associated risks resonate with real-world concerns. The concept of space exploration is a powerful one, with the potential to bring humankind great rewards, but also significant risks. The idea of contagion and infection also resonates with our current global pandemic, showing just how quickly diseases can spread.

Overall, Infini is a thought-provoking and visually stunning movie that explores powerful themes, combining horror elements with an intricate sci-fi plot. The storytelling is well crafted, engaging the viewer from the start and never quite letting go. The acting feels authentic, and the sense of impending doom looms over the entire movie, leaving a lasting impression on the viewer.
