Infinite Storm Reviews
It is well-photographed, the epic adventure is harrowing, and Naomi Watts earns more deserved applause for being one of the gamest actors in films today.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 31, 2022
I don't think a lot of the ideas in it land that much, but I enjoyed it as a sort of physical exercise.

It’s exhausting. Watts is game, fit and makeup free, but it’s starting to seem like the actress has a rescue-or-be-rescued fixation.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 25, 2022
There are crackerjack action scenes that make the most of the real locations as well as the actors' phenomenal tenacity and strength.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 25, 2022
Not to get all Aristotelian about it, but for a plot to be more than just a succession of incidents, it needs some kind of mindful opposition to the protagonist’s efforts. This “Infinite Storm” lacks.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 25, 2022
This misframed effort does itself no favors by claiming its nonfiction bona fides so prominently to its promotion and opening credits, and then flogging them so repeatedly.
| Original Score: C+ | Mar 25, 2022
The details of the story are emotionally draining, but that sensation derives mostly from the situation rather than the characters.
| Mar 24, 2022
Watts is particularly brilliant at articulating a character’s inner being; she brings out what lies beneath so clearly and persuasively that you can see every thought and emotion fluttering into existence.

Quibbles aside, this is a daring and memorable depiction of trauma, compassion and resilience.
| Mar 24, 2022
A harrowing, life-or-death story that has been drained of power to score melodramatic points that feel — however true — unearned.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 24, 2022
A resonant ending elevates Naomi Watts’ mountain thriller...
| Mar 24, 2022
Remarkable as the true story behind this emotionally detached survival drama might be, the non-fiction label it staples to itself during the opening credits steels viewers for an urgency that never develops.
| Original Score: C- | Mar 23, 2022
If it falls a bit short as human drama... Szumowska’s latest — a 180-degree turn from her last, the excellent Polish allegorical tale “Never Gonna Snow Again” — is fully satisfying as an appreciation of Nature as magnificent adversary.
| Mar 22, 2022
A paper-thin but gorgeously shot survivalist drama.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 22, 2022
As survival cinema, it has a certain rough, unpredictable energy. Its the aftermath, in which we learn the roots of Pams own trauma, and what her experience with John meant, that exposes it as a well-intentioned but uneven film about grief.

Not only does Infinite Storm lack for a complete vision, its all too comfortable in settling for mawkishness.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 22, 2022
