Netflix is full of small-budget science-fiction flicks like Infinity Chamber, and when they're near-future techno-thrillers, I tend to compare them to the usually superlative Black Mirror. After all, if that kind of film can be done in series, one-offs should at least try to reach that level. And Infinity Chamber could, yes, be a Black Mirror story. A man is held captive by a fascist American government, his only company an artificial intelligence, while he is interrogated, forced to relive a memory until it yields answers. The woman in that memory could be the key to his emotional survival, perhaps even his means of escape, but the memory might be another kind of prison. Well-produced and well-played, the result has a Philip K. Dick vibe that spins ideas that will seem familiar from other mind-bending puzzle films, but with just enough of a spin to keep things interesting. It's really the story of a man being broken down by captivity in a sci-fi Guantanamo, the old idea of a prisoner building a motorcycle in his mind used against him. 5 years 3 months ago -
