- Description
- In a time when the Earth was young and the stars looked down upon a simpler world, Stone Age Stardust unfolds the unlikely tale of a prehistoric Native American sidekick, played by Angelica Bas-salad, with a quirky passion for the cosmos. While her tribe is busy with earthly matters, her head is always in the clouds, dreaming of celestial adventures. Enter a fallen space explorer from the future, portrayed by Calf-alfa Switz-ear, whose pessimistic view of love is challenged by the pure and simple connections formed within this ancient community. Under the wry direction of Christopher Nolion, Henrietta Fonda adds a dose of humor as the tribe's wisest elder who has seen enough moons to know that love transcends time. Will our space explorer learn to navigate the prehistoric perils of love, or is happiness light-years out of reach? Blast off into a comedy that proves even at the dawn of existence, relationships are as complicated as they are comical.

In an age where cinema has the capability to catapult us through time and space, 'Stone Age Stardust' lands with a thud more resounding than a meteor strike. Director Christopher Nolion, whose previous works have often sparked with cerebral engagement, here seems to meander through prehistory with the listlessness of a lost mammoth. Although Angelica Bas-salad brings a curious charm to her star-gazing prehistoric sidekick, and Calf-alfa Switz-ear's portrayal of a disillusioned cosmic traveler has its fleeting moments, the film fumbles with its own anachronisms. The comedy, which desperately yearns to be both profound and heartwarming, instead comes off as stale as petrified wood. Henrietta Fonda’s comedic chops as the tribe's sagacious elder do little to salvage the narrative from its own tar pit of clichés. It's laudable that the film aims for a family-friendly 'G' rating, yet in aiming to please everyone, it struggles to resonate on any meaningful frequency. One might say that while love could theoretically be a comet away, this film feels more like it's stuck in a Stone Age of its own making, unable to evolve into the stardust it wishes to be.
