The Worst: Infinite
It’s almost impressive how generic Infinite is. It’s a science fiction movie that somehow doesn’t have a single original idea, whether you’re talking about the plot or the movie’s action scenes. It’s about Evan McCauley (Mark Wahlberg), a man who discovers he’s one of the few beings who not only continually gets reincarnated but retains his memories (except, not this time). Wahlberg’s generic performance renders him completely unfazed and seemingly disinterested in all the crazy events surrounding him, whether he discovers he somehow knows how to forge a perfect Japanese katana or that the bad guy (a wasted Chiwetel Ejiofor) has bullets that can somehow download people’s souls. Infinite is dumb, dull, and another negative adjective that begins with D; the movie doesn’t deserve us bothering to look one up.
