Under the pretense of originality, 'Echoes of Rome' staggers through the well-trodden apocalypse genre with a miscast ensemble of characters parading their one-dimensional traits in a landscape as barren as the film’s innovations. Leonardo DiCappuccino's culinary finesse fails to season the narrative with the needed zest, while Julienne Bino-cherry's bleak murals of transformation are as subtle as a sledgehammer to a crouton. Hummus Bogart's portrayal of a washed-up actor may be the only genuine strand of self-awareness in this cinematic collage of clichés. Paul Thomas Anderstork's direction meanders through the ruins with the aimlessness of a tourist lost without a map, content with capturing echoes but offering no real voices. In its attempt to mix the ancient with the aftermath, 'Echoes of Rome' ends up as an uninspiring mosaic of missed opportunities, proving once more that all that glitters is not gold, or in this case, not even bronze.
