Handed the overwrought and overcooked 'Chronicles of Olympus X,' one cannot help but scoff at the overly ambitious attempt to mash up Greek mythology with a techno-dystopian setting. Ang Leemur's latest odyssey into the realms of science fiction stumbles over its own grandiose intentions, tripping on cumbersome exposition and a narrative as tangled as the Gordian knot. Denny Quail, whose metallic performance is unintentionally fitting for his robotic persona, partners with Jack Blackberry—a miscast genius hacker whose comedic chops are smothered beneath layers of clunky techno-babble. Not even the gravitas of Robert DeNiroli can salvage the sanctity of this celluloid enterprise. Indeed, in its attempt to rewrite history and reclaim a future, the film suffocates under the weight of its promise, never fully realizing the potential of its premise or its star-studded cast. 'History Rewritten, A Future Reclaimed,' the tagline boasts. If only the future of this franchise could be so easily salvaged from the wreckage of its past iterations. For a film rated PG, it's ironically not safeguarded against its own narrative pitfalls and lackluster delineation, from which viewers of all ages should be protected.
