'Melodies of Honor' is a curious concoction of grandeur mixed with a dire sense of artificiality that, despite its shiny veneer, stumbles over its own ambitions. Michael Manta's attempt to craft a utopian society feels more like a superficial, crystallized snow globe - beautiful to look at, but ultimately hollow. Hoffman, delivering an earnest performance as an undefeatable orphan, seems out of place in this spectacle of exaggerated heroism and overt melodrama. Bard-yam's ninja, a character that could have introduced intriguing conflict, ends up being a misguided attempt at weaving depth in an already overstuffed narrative. And Redsnapper's samurai, lost in a self-imposed stoicism, struggles to connect with the audience on a meaningful level. Dancing to whimsical tunes, these characters move through beautifully orchestrated scenes that, unfortunately, feel orchestrated in every sense of the word. 'Melodies of Honor' might have aimed to charm with its overture of emotions, but it ended up playing a discordant symphony that concludes with more whimper than a crescendo. Suitable for its 'G' rating, it’s a family-friendly affair that will entertain young audiences mildly and leave adults yearning for something more substantive and less saccharine.
