Infinite Wastes a Great Premise But Remains Watchable

There’s a moment near the end of
Infinite (it’s in the trailer so not really a spoiler) where Mark Wahlberg drives a motorcycle off a cliff, lands on a aeroplane mid-flight, and stops his momentum with a samurai sword. After it happened I said to myself “Well, I haven’t seen that before,” which is certainly the reaction the film wanted. But in Paramount+’s
Infinite, moments like that are few and far between, which makes a film filled with potential nothing more than a fleeting piece of entertainment.
