Watching this movie is like taking an energy pill and you get sucked in to the movie's own contained universe, Beyond The Infinite Two Minutes feels like a triumph despite its humble presentation.
In this movie we follow a small coffee shop owner/guitarist that discovers his computer monitor connected to the tv in his shop is in a self contained time loop that lets him see two minutes into the future. Later when his friends find out about this, time travelling fun ensues!
This movie is made at a breakneck pace, not a single dead minute on it. Which is made possible by the "one cute" technique that doesn't allow for that. The dialogue is snappy, and everything happens fast. It is also very funny. This movie was apparently filmed only with a smartphone (iPhone?) which is even more amazing but also understandable considering all the positions and movements the cameraman had to do during the filming. It almost feels like an acrobatic act unfold due to how precise everything must be.
The actors are great as well, you can clearly see that everyone is having fun making this movie, it has a very happy and infectious tone that you kind of want more of afterwards. Even if the time-travelling paradox thingy feels hard to understand you can still see that the rules are consistent in the film which is the recipe for a movie with time travelling elements. It is also a film that dares to be silly and I love that! Even if the elements of it are simple you still feel it's amazing and filled with moviemaking love.
If there's anything negative about this movie is that perhaps the reactions that the initial characters have can be a bit unbelievable? I understand why they had to write it like that tho so it doesn't really bother me! Either way I had so much fun watching this movie and I can't wait to see more from this director! Please watch this, you won't be disappointed! (It's available on blu-ray)
