Embarking upon 'Chronos Betrayed' is akin to diving headlong into a tempest of temporal tomfoolery that strays so far from its ambitious promise, it merits a time-out in cinematic purgatory. Tangled amid the cyberpunk sprawl and medieval cobwebs, the plot lumbers clumsily forward, muddied by the very timelines it seeks to entwine. Octavia de Herringland brings an earnest yet misplaced sophistication to her role, her talents squandered on this meandering intellectual excursion turned sci-fi spectacle. The chalk-and-cheese pairing with Van Henflin's defeated detective adds little to the jigsaw, their chemistry struggling to combust within the narrative's smothering embrace. Director Sam Meerkat, famed for tickling fancies with visionary flutter, barely manages a feather's graze here — surrendering clear vision for a hodgepodge pastiche that even RichChard Harries' mysterious machinator can't salvage from novelty. As timelines collide under the weight of Meerkat's ambition, trust indeed declines to a glitch — a glitch in the audience's faith that the film might capitalize on its premise. The PG-13 rating seems an afterthought; the real thematic violence here is perpetrated against coherence itself.
