A few days ago we released a sci-fi movie trailer - "Infinity", did not expect these days on the resources, when I watched the trailer, I think the texture is still there, but this concept of infinite reincarnation of life, has long been rotten street, can you still shoot flowers?

Trailer for Infinity
As soon as the resources come out, the first time to identify the poison. emmm...... Not surprisingly, there is nothing new, and on Douban, the movie was scolded and the rating was only 5.4.
However, after watching the film in its entirety, I feel a little wronged, the cool feeling of popcorn is still there, the big logic is basically smooth, the character motivation is far-fetched, but it is also reasonable, and many car chases, gunfights, and fight scenes are still very cool. Looking through the comments, I found that many people were disgusted with this subject, and some people were overly expectant, and disappointed after watching the film. In any case, the entertainment of this movie is still online, so it is recommended to all audience masters.
First, let's introduce the worldview of the whole movie, there is a kind of person in the world who has the memories of each life, and after death they will be reincarnated as other people, and retrieve all the memories of past lives in adolescence. Such people are not known to the world, they call themselves - infinite.
In the infinite, there are two camps, one is called the believers, they believe that infinity is a gift from God to mankind, they use their tens of thousands of years of historical knowledge and knowledge accumulation to help humanity reach a better state and realize the evolution of humanity as a whole; the other is called nihilists, the "exterminator faction" led by Bathurst, who suffers from the pain of death and the torment of long-standing ancient memories, and in order not to reincarnate again, Bathurst developed an "egg". This egg is a DNA biochemical weapon, once dropped with the bomb, it can destroy all the animals on the earth, no creatures can be reincarnated, they will never suffer reincarnation again.
At the beginning of the film, the first five minutes of coming up are blood-boiling, and the blood-red Ferraris are running wild in the streets, with extraordinary driving skills, and using the technique of crushing bricks to scrap the pursuing police cars. Fujiwara Takumi called straight to the inside! For a moment I thought I was on the wrong set, was this Fast & Furious 10?
The ferrari car was named Tredwell, and it was he who stole Bathurst's "egg" (it sounds weird, but the narrative is absolutely fine).
His accomplices also have lovers In another car, Tebur and Leona.
Faced with the broken head road, Tredway made a move, hanging on the tower crane with his samurai sword, while the red Ferrari disappeared with a burst of fire.
On the other side, Tebur and Leona are attacked, and with the sound of a gunshot, the two are buried in the raging flames...
The above are all stories of past lives, and the timeline comes to this life. Evan wakes up from a dream, and he often dreams of scenes from the above, as real as memories. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia and had no job willing to hire him. He has a poor life and no money for treatment, so he can only rely on some psychotropic drugs to keep himself "normal".
I'm out of medicine again, I haven't found a job, I don't have money to pay rent. In desperation, Evan had to build a samurai sword and sell it to the local gang in exchange for some medicine. He didn't know why he forged katana, and he didn't know why he knew a lot of "useless knowledge", but from childhood to adulthood, a lot of skills and knowledge were like engraved in DNA, often blurting out and doing it.
The gang boss sees that his woman is not right in Evan's eyes, so he plans to use the woman's hand to test the knife, and at the critical moment Evan rescues him, and then is chased and killed by the gang.
Evan, who escaped, climbed up the wall, but fell into a hallucination, and the wall became a cliff of ice, and his head fell down, just in time to be arrested by the police who arrived.
In the interrogation room, a well-dressed black man interrogates Evan, who claims that he and Evan are long-lost friends who have known each other during the Second Punic War (the war between Ancient Rome and Carthage, c. 218-202 BC), and they once fought side by side as friends of life and death.
He constantly tested what Evan remembered and came up with a lot of props for Evan to identify. But Evan was unimpressed with the person in front of him and everything he said. Finally the Black man took out his pistol and played a Game of Russian Roulette with Evan, pulling the trigger every time Evan couldn't answer a question.
Evan was terrified with the turn of the trigger, and finally before the last trigger, he looked at the props, his consciousness was a little confused, and specious memories began to emerge.
Just then, a modified sports car crashed into the outer wall of the interrogation room, and a hot and sexy beauty jumped out of the car, strafed the black man, shot off Evan's handcuffs, and picked him up in the car and quickly evacuated.
The Negro was not a vegetarian either, and he was followed by a beast-like modified car. Two cars shuttled through the police station. Bricks, archives, tables and chairs, and even police officers were constantly hit head-on, and eventually two cars broke through the wall and fled.
After shrugging off the Negro, Beauty and Evan arrive at a private hangar. Here, Beauty tells Evan that he is the reincarnation of Tredway, that he was Leonarda in his previous life, now called Nora, and that the black man who hunted them down was Bathurst, who had developed the DNA egg. In the previous life, Tredwell had annihilated all the scientists and studio staff who could make DNA eggs before he died, and hid the eggs, so Bathurst came to Evan to help him recover his memory to help him find the eggs, and Nora needed to go ahead of Bathurst.
The two traveled by private jet to the central headquarters of the Believers, where there were many like-minded "infinites" who all had memories of past lives. Here they study, train, research, and work silently to fulfill their beliefs in helping humanity achieve a better life and achieve a higher level of evolution.
At the center, Evan sees the holographic vision of the mass extinction of the creatures after the egg is released, and is deeply moved, and decides to retrieve his memory and help the Infinite Man fight Against Bathurst.
Bathurst hunts the "believers" while searching for eggs, knowing that killing them will only reincarnate the infinite, so he invents a gun called the Deposed, which alone hits the head and stores the consciousness of the infinite in the form of electronic data in a chip, unable to be reincarnated.
In order to get Evan to regain his memory, the people at the center conducted various tests and trainings, but because Evan had been taking anti-psychiatric drugs for a long time and the car accident that had previously tried to commit suicide had damaged his skull, a steel plate in the inner cushion of his brain had hindered the acquisition of memories of past lives.
At this time, Bathurst learned the location of the center by torturing outside contacts and brought his troops in. Only Evan, Nora, Bluehead, and Brother Beard escaped from the entire center of believers, and they sought help from the scientist "Blacksmith" among the Infinite People.
Under the blacksmith's theory that "returning to the light after death can reorganize a person's memory", Evan regained Tredway's memory and knew the key to the egg. In a pinch, Bathurst arrives again, the blue-haired woman is glorious, Evan is also shot, and in order to delay the escape of the others, Beard brother volunteers to fight Bathurst's troops. Although the weapons were very advanced, almost all of the miscellaneous fish troops were destroyed at once, but Bathurst still killed Brother Beard and learned where the egg was hiding.
It turned out that Tredwell had hidden the egg in his body at a critical moment, and his body was frozen in the center, and Bathurst rushed to the scene, cut open the body and got the egg.
In order to stop his extermination plan, Nora and Evan and the blacksmith arrive at Bathurst's castle, and the great war is about to break out...
Objectively speaking, Infinity does waste a great sci-fi genre. The science fiction cloak has become a layer of skin, and its story structure is the routine of the agent amnesia being hunted down, finding allies, and revenge. There are many similar films such as "Spy Shadow" and "Memory Fragments", and they are more exquisite and brain-burning than "Infinity".
In addition, the worldview is set so grand and even rises to the philosophical field, Evan's cognition of his own identity also involves the human understanding of life, as well as the category of human ontology, but all the content that could have been deep is superficial, even the concept of science fiction, is vulnerable.
However, taking a step back, the large part of the film's car chase scene is really cool, the car racing scene in the police station is very destructive, and Evan's footage of riding a motorcycle and crashing into the plane is not inferior to the amazement of Atango's hand pickpocketing the plane. The overall action design is clean and clean, the soundtrack is also very flexible, and the sense of entertainment is still very prominent.
"Infinity" is an action movie worth watching, as for the sci-fi elements, it's just a gimmick!
