'Echoes of the Canopy' attempts to blend family adventure with socio-political commentary in a post-apocalyptic setting, but it fails to rise above mediocrity. Despite the intriguing premise of a world where nature reigns supreme, the film falters with predictable plotlines and underdeveloped characters. Alec Grouse-ness as Dr. Elias Hartman and Henrietta Fonda as Maya deliver earnest performances, but they are weighed down by a script that lacks depth and originality. Director Mel Brooktrout's vision is ambitious, yet the execution is marred by clichés and a heavy-handed approach to its themes of justice and prejudice. The film's PG rating suggests a family-friendly experience, but the narrative complexity is lost on younger audiences while failing to fully engage adults. 'Echoes of the Canopy' ends up as a missed opportunity, echoing not much more than the sound of unfulfilled potential.
