The movie's now called Infinity Chamber.

[@baghead777]

+Gurriato Sagaz Just saw it... Meh.. It's a poor mans Source Code...

[@von4297]

It’s also available on amazon prime.

[@alucard2010]

@@baghead777 is it though? The ending is rather ambiguous. Another take is he never got out, which would have been more along the lines of somewhere in Time

[@johnnybensonitis7853]

@@baghead777 Really? I didn't think it felt anything like that. I loved Source Code, but Infinity Chamber feels like a miracle. I just watched it for the 2nd time, with the 1st being a couple years ago. I loved it then but got far more out of it now. This shit blew my goddamn mind as if I revisited an idyllic pond I had only viewed from its surface before. It looked great but this time I went for a swim and was in awe of it's breathtaking depths. I don't wanna go on and on but man, it really hit the spot for me this time. The lead actor was so incredible. The plot takes you for one helluva ride that I paid closer attention to this time and was rewarded with a richer experience. I've also discovered how little it's been discussed and that needs to change. At least in my opinion lol. I can understand not everyone would agree, but genre fans absolutely should know it exists.

[@Inbal_Feuchtwanger]

@@alucard2010 I didnt think it was ambiguous at all. It felt obvious that he never got out. I mean he has basically the same conversation with the girl in his mind as he has been having the whole movie.

[@aolivia1754]

seriously I don't know why you don't have 500k+ subscribers.

[@Darkdaej]

probably because of KZbin's algorithms...whence video doesn't get tend of thousands of likes they don't show up in recommended feeds all that much. getting subs is an uphill battle...

[@GoodBadFlicks]

+A Olivia Thank you, I really appreciate that. Maybe one day.

[@aolivia1754]

+GoodBadFlicks I'm sure of it! I also wanted to recommend a movie for your GBF playlist. its called Trick Or Treat, it's about a dead rockstar and a teenager. have you seen it?

[@owenfitzgerald3219]

I just caught this on Prime. It's amazing.

[@GeorgiaDLee]

Amazing movie and great ending. One that's makes to think... until you go crazy.

[@trustme2001]

I just finished watching it, and it's definitely worth a watch.

[@abbytooshabby109]

It's on Netflix now, under the title "Infinity Chamber "

[@1982tjones]

I always enjoy your videos man. Especially the good bad games; definitely the best breakdown of Golden Axe: Beast Rider. No other review offered a complete perspective from beginning to end without just cursing the game for its faults. It would be really interesting to see more or even if you did an "Exploring" or a review of the AVGN movie.

[@GeminibBorn]

I both Love and Hate you for bring in this to my attention, Pandorum is up there with Alien and Event Horizon to me, and that the fact that this doesn't have distribution right now makes me very sad

[@Redem10]

Love your channel, you talk about movie no other channel does

[@GoodBadFlicks]

+Redem10 Thanks!

[@Kristian_Rossi]

Christopher Soren Kelly!! He's such a great actor. I definitely gonna check this out!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

+oxidodeabril He's outstanding in this

[@TheFragnatic]

He's outstanding in the movie INK.

[@Stimpys_Daddy]

If anyone is looking for this movie, it's now called Infinity Chamber.

[@davidverleger2286]

Christopher Soren Kelly was in Ink. Not sure if you have seen it or have done a review on it, but if not, wow! For a low budget movie, Ink is beautiful and the soundtrack is amazing. Think it is on Netflix.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

+David Verleger I'll check it out!

[@trebot9292266]

Sorry for the 4 year necro. Someone made a pretty epic music video using Ink for a System of a Down song.

[@WrecklessEating]

Sounds great. Can't wait to see it one day.

[@rickyhuerta9379]

Just watched this on Netflix got way more then I was expecting . The acting was great the writing was great definitely saving it to the list lol

[@Fluoride_Jones]

Your work is consistently great. It's informative and entertaining--thank you.

[@derekhammon]

This movie was absolutely amazing, I couldn’t tell that the movie had a 125,000 budget whatsoever.. now that I think about it, it doesn’t surprise me, thinking about how many sets there were. But I feel like if you didn’t enjoy this movie, the plot was just too complex for you to comprehend.

[@BigZ7337]

This was a great review, and thanks so for doing an addendum now that it's finally being released, I'll definitely watch it this week. :)

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@LtModigliani]

I just watched it finally! Great movie! And you are right, it's something that you don't see that often. Thanks for getting me interested.

[@thefinerthingsinlife4557]

The movie is now streaming on Amazon Prime with a new title "Infinity Chamber". Check it out, really good flick!

[@johnnybensonitis7853]

Years later after watching this vid and this is a movie I have come back to a couple times a year ever since. Such an excellent movie, and I may have never found out about it had it not been for this video, so thank you very much my good man!

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Thanks! Yeah, it is a fantastic movie and I'm so happy to be able to get other people to see it.

[@johnnybensonitis7853]

@@GoodBadFlicks You're channel is like an oasis here on KZbin, a treasure trove full of great recommendations! To offer one of my own, is you've never watched Puncture it's pretty swell. It has Chris Evans before he became Captain America and I fucking love it. The Kassan brothers directed it I believe. Anyway, don't mean to hold ya up here, appreciate the read & response & happy holidays!

[@6677srevihs]

loved this movie, i thought sci-fi, thriller, romance movie

[@OpenHeartedTherapist]

Just finished watching the movie in question. It’s a great film and I can’t agree more with your review.

[@ahmedtevez]

oh thank you man. Pandorum is one of my favorite movies. i am gonna keep an eye out for this one.

[@kingacha5739]

Thank you for your review, I've just watched it and it was amazing!

[@chilledghosty01]

Somnio is officially being released to theaters! Only the title has been changed to "Infinity Chamber." Like everyone else, when this review first came out it actually drove me crazy cause I wanted to see it so bad. Anyways, Just thought everyone should know...

[@GoodBadFlicks]

I'm putting out an update video next week letting people know the name change and that its finally getting released

[@ripoutyourprejudice]

Didn't like Pandorum that much, but I'll have to see this.

[@DANRYX]

Yes, the writing is strong BUT (definitely going to reference the movie Moon) the lead actor is on par with Sam Rockwell and his performance in Moon. Without the lead actors absolute dynamic performance, the film would have fallen apart. Watched it for the first time yesterday and I adore this film.

[@ImpressionBlend]

I'm definitely intrigued! Hope we can see this one soon :)

[@hank203]

I saw it strictly by chance. Loved it.

[@flyingninja1234]

I really liked Pandorum. I'll have to see this one.

[@adembroski]

The girl in the film is the perfect gorgeous but everyday girl to make this work. If she'd been "too perfect" it wouldn't have worked, but she's this cute ginger with a few flaws and they didn't over makeup her, and it worked perfectly.

[@ricksanchez5949]

No one mentions Gabby in their reviews for this film. Infinity Chamber is easily one of my favourite films. The chemistry between Frank and Gabby is absolutely magical.

[@jazzercaster4749]

Cool! Would love to see this, looks great!

[@Iggsy81]

Was that the fellow from the excellent *Ink* in that Somnio still??

[@se4109]

Sounds great! Can't wait to see this!

[@tylerskiss]

I understand it hasn't been released and all that and that's not your fault, but you got me all hyped to see this thing and then you drop the bomb that we can't get it- that's some cold cruel shit*. Hopefully we can see it soon but if not you might need to do a spoiler review. *obviously I'm not really upset, but it is quite the tease.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

+Cyril I understand. I just really wanted to get the word out on this one. I'll be sure to update when it gets picked up for distribution

[@MariaMejia-mx6rf]

Cyril it's out now, but it got renamed

[@franohmsford7548]

Finally found this film under its new title "Infinity Chamber" and wow! Yes, this is a really good film that deserves more attention...Maybe not quite on the level of Moon or District 9 but certainly up there as one of the best outright Sci-Fi movies of the past decade. I'm not sure where I got the name Somnio from but I marked it down months ago on a movies to watch list on my laptop and if it was from one of your videos that I got the recommendation I have to say thank you :) {I know I haven't seen this video before, I don't watch reviews of movies I haven't seen just in case}.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

The distributor made them change the name to Infinity Chamber which they thought sounded more appealing. I prefer the old title but I get their logic. Glad you liked it!

[@rafaeltrivino1790]

This movie sounds amazing.

[@BEEEELEEEE]

Me before watching: "Hm, Somnio, I'm guessing sleep plays some sort of role in the plot" Me during watching: "okay, so I was right. Good job, R.J., put those two useless semesters of Latin that you barely remember to use."

[@Suerte13]

Do you know where you can see this movie? I cannot find anything online except for your review and the trailer.

[@tigrafrog]

Please review independent firm production "Ink", 2009. Christopher Soren Kelly as well.

[@TheJoshgonyer]

you need to check out the movie coherence. cool indie sci fi movie. really well writen.

[@RegulatorXIII]

Its called infinity chamber on Amazon Prime, for those who are looking

[@WoodinatorDesigns]

You need to check out "Circle" on Netflix if you want to see a good "one location" sci fi horror. I started watching it with my wife and about halfway through i realized the entire thing had happened in this one place (the writing was so well done I hadn't noticed). I looked at my wife expecting her to have started playing on her phone (she's not usually into this type of film) but she was glued to the screen. Later we had our two teenagers watch it... Same thing (even with their short attention spans) they were so engrossed in this movie. The ending is a tad lack luster but it is totally worth the ride.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

+woody bowen been meaning to see that one

[@Cybolic]

I hope they'll eventually release on a neutral, global service such as Vimeo on Demand or VHX, so all us sci-fi aficionados can get to see it regardless of where we live / what devices we own! * disappointed glaring at Amazon, Google Play, iTunes and VUDU *

[@derBene]

Thanks for the cool heads up. 👍

[@jabbamacchiato4673]

you should do ink

[@TheFragnatic]

INK was great. Same actor. Chrisopher Kelly Soren deserves more recognition.

[@pudding7876]

Just saw this on Netflix! 👍

[@qriouskoushik5385]

Pandorum was much easy to understand, I still confused with this...why he came out with desert, 2nd time in mountains... It's all feelings... something makes u feel I think!!!!!!

[@thegr8melinko]

Keeper Gooin brah!!!

[@bryansbag]

can someone explain the ending to me?

Darn! This sounds like a movie my father and I would really enjoy! Update us when it comes out, please. :)

[@GoodBadFlicks]

+liz noir will do!

[@RawbeardX]

someone is going places, getting a screener because of one of his KZbin videos ;) excellent, make sure to remind us when this thing gets a release, though, because I sure as hell will not remember :(

+Rawbeard I felt all kinds of special :) Don't worry, I will be sure to update when this gets picked up

well, once you get famous and the comment section turns into a septic tank, that will probably stop real quick, but till then lets enjoy a nice dialogue ;)

[@temporaryscars]

I need to see this. Pandorum was brilliant.

[@GoodBadFlicks]

+temporaryscars its a lot more low-key but still very smart and very well done

[@temporaryscars]

+GoodBadFlicks You had me at "from the creators of Pandorum and kind of like Moon." Sounds freaking amazing.

+Aldo El Apache Got my tickets for X-men so yes :)

[@qriouskoushik5385]

Just tell me...is it in Coma....? Then how this facility finds dead bodies

[@ElkeDragos]

Why hasn't this film available?

[@GoodBadFlicks]

Its coming out later this year. Had some delays with distribution.

[@Inactive1987]

GREAT FUCKING MOVIE......

[@morphman86]

To me, it felt like the film didn't know where it was going. It had this great premise, but that was all it had. After that, everything fell apart. Plot points were introduced just minutes before they were used, characters introduced only to be removed from the film entirely after just a few minutes and an ending twist that simultaneously was telegraphed from the first scene of the film and at the same time made no sense at all. And those two last scenes? Those made absolutely no sense. Spoilers right here, you have been warned. We see "Dream Gabby" out in the real world, she's in another cell. We know it's another cell and not just a reflection or memory in Frank's cell, because we can see the state of the room, and there's no sign of the Cleaner Bot. But one scene later, we hear that everyone else in the facility was dead, nobody found alive. So that means Gabby is dead, right? Nope, very last scene, Frank meats "Gabby", who is actually Abby, but the real-world version. And she still got that photo of the tree that Frank was rescued by, like a massive coincidence. It might be a lame attempt at throwing some pseudo-intellectual "did he really get out" twist at the very end, but it really didn't feel like it. It felt like we saw two different endings smashed together, one where Gabby had been another inmate all along and one where Frank got to meat the Real-World version of her.

[@sunshinepurple1043]

Intriguing plot horrible ending. Too many loose ends. Zero closure for any of the characters. Doesn't show the psychosis solitary confinement can cause. Soooo many issues with this I wanted to scream at my tv.
