Infinite Review: 4 Ups & 6 Downs

1. It Never Takes Itself Too Seriously

You can accuse Infinite of many, many things, but taking itself too seriously sure isn't one of them.

This is a card-carryingly ridiculous film in every fiber of its being, willing to indulge its every absurd impulse rather than try and pretend that it's anything other than a video game-y dose of genre nonsense.

There's no pretentious posturing or symbolism here: just Mark Wahlberg ambling through a mostly watchable and spectacularly stupid sci-fi action film inside an acceptable runtime.

While one could argue the base premise is good enough that it perhaps should be taken a little more seriously, Fuqua's smartest call as a filmmaker is to learn into the ridiculousness rather than try and make something navel-gazingly epic.
