If you don’t take into account dialogues and acting that sometimes slide into the swamps of the soap opera, “Infinity” is an excellent series: a tense plot, a spectacular Kazakh wasteland and an injured space station. Worth.
Communication with the International Space Station is cut off, after a cargo spaceship launched from the launch site loses control, collides with it and causes severe damage. The body of an American astronaut, supposed to be on the space station, is discovered on the roof of a building in Kazakhstan, beheaded and covered in wax. In Baikonur, the world’s oldest spaceport located in a Russian enclave in Kazakhstan, there is a conspiracy going on related to a mystery that is well kept, does not reveal its face too early and keeps the viewer on a small fire.
The dialogues that the script puts in the mouths of the actors in “Infinity” are poor and often descend into the swamps of soap operas. The game has no choice but to limp along in their wake. Usually you get stuck on a series like this and curse, because you already want to see what happens at the end. But “Infinity” is a strange series, which, despite its major flaws, is one that should not be missed.
Its plot is fascinating, and even more fascinating is the landscape in which it is filmed. Of course, we don’t know where – maybe it was really filmed around Baikonur in Kazakhstan, maybe in the Petah Tikva steppes, but the result is no less breathtaking. Endless arid expanses surround the surroundings of the launch site, as if they had come out of Chinggis Itemov’s breathtaking book “And today is not a bride”. The Kazakh dust rising from this wasteland gets stuck in the viewer’s throat, and exactly 600 kilometers above him hovers the splendor of the wounded global technology.
And this glorious salad is joined by a grim-faced French astronaut who came to save her lover, the one who died but at the same time seemed to be fully alive on the station. exciting. different. Worth.
# See or give up: worth it if only for the sake of the classic Kazakhstan tour. See.
