Infinite Skies

About This Movie

Infinite Skies is an interesting blend of animation and horror, crafted through machinima by Bram Ruiter and Martin Gerrits during their film studies. The film delves into pretty heavy themes like grief and purgatory, which gives it a somber undertone. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to soak in the vast, generative landscapes that really amplify the emotional weight of the narrative. It’s quite distinct in its approach to storytelling, not relying on traditional dialogue but rather on visuals and atmosphere to convey its message. The practical effects, although modest, add a unique charm that suits its artful aesthetic. It’s one of those pieces that stands out for its bold exploration of dark themes, especially in a medium often associated with lightheartedness.
