I wish I could say Breaking Infinity consisted of more than a confusing jumble of talk of test results, a mish-mash of supposed time-travelling events, and characters either waking up in a bed in various states of physical grief, or alternatively seeing a huge fireball signifying the end of the world, or being in a tranquil zone that looks like the dawn of man but with an old man saying puzzling things whilst drawing with charcoal on a gnarled tree, but I can’t. It’s tedious, over-dramatic, and makes no sense (even without the quantum physics thrown in).

Liam (Neil Bishop) is in a pickle of the time/space continuum sort. He wakes in a hospital, all bandaged-up and covered in cuts, having repeated flashbacks of the end of the world, and an old man (Martin Bishop) alternatively scribbling on a tree and telling him he needs to wake up. At present, the only constant is Emma (Zoe Cunningham), a rather annoying, badly-acted character in a lab coat who wafts in and out of the room, keeping an eye on his vitals and attempting to pick apart his memory whilst being all professional-doctory, and all the while implying there’s powerful people who need to know exactly what he knows, which right now is nothing. Except for the visions, of course.

There’s talk of an experiment that went wrong, and before you know it, Liam’s in a lab with a time-travel device (one assumes), and some boffins (one at least a friendly chap called Garret (Zed Josef) who seems to know him as a mate; and another called Carter (Jonny Phillips), who’s clearly a bigwig and running the show, and who nobody seems to like much. Then Liam’s in a hotel room with Emma, where it’s suggested they’re more than friends as they declare their love for each other whilst making it clear it’s up to him to prevent the end of the world. By this time we’re 30-odd minutes into a nearly hour and a half long film, and nobody seems any the wiser.

Back in the lab again, we now have what looks like high-ranking military personnel among the spectators whilst they zap Liam into god knows where for effect. Carter is crapping himself and even though Liam is voicing his doubts and can’t remember anything (and nobody remembers him, especially Emma), proving this machine is capable of inducing time travel seems paramount to Carter. Perhaps it’s down to funding.

So far this is an overly-enigmatic mess where nobody really seems to know what’s going on or why. Still, we’ve got around 45 minutes of the film left; a lot can happen in that time (I hope). Maybe I’m a bit thick and just don’t get it, or maybe one needs a PhD in certain branches of science, but I wouldn’t recommend Breaking Infinity even to those who have. Give me Quantum Leap or Back to the Future any day.
