Much like how the characters learn to utilize the TVs in a Droste effect to stretch how far they can see in time, Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes makes up for its lack in budget with a fantastically creative execution that only seems to get more innovative with each passing minute. The humor lies within the character’s reactions to their newfound ability to time jump, which only get more energetic and rambunctious with each phenomenal discovery.
