Infinity Chamber

I had never heard of this movie before and only discovered it as a recommendation on Amazon Prime because I had watched Source Code. The concept is quite interesting with 1 man; a woman; 2 gunmen; a robot to keep him alive and a robot to examine his mind. It begins with the man waking up and we have no idea where he is or how he got there. It constantly switches between his cell and somewhere in his memories which occasionally causes disorientation and confusion which I guess is the point. Despite having a low budget and having to use a uniform from Pandorum, Travis Milloy has really used all his resources to their highest advantage. Travis Milloy built the set himself and it really does look like a futuristic prison cell. Christopher Soren Kelly does a pretty good job of mostly talking to a security camera and transitioning between the prison cell and his dream world.

Lifts elements from far better sci-fi movies with little success BUT, what _Infinity Chamber_ does with so little is honestly kind of incredible. Comparing it to, say, the history of all human cinema, it's really not that good. But compare it to most micro-budget films with barely enough characters and locations combined to count on one hand, and it's pretty genuinely impressive. Still possessed of a lot of failings, but I can't treat it too harshly for them. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
