In the grandiose and ostensibly ambitious 'Echoes of Eons', director Billy Wildebeest attempts to marinate a prehistoric setting with the convoluted spices of modern-day cinematic tropes, resulting in a rather indigestible concoction. Zebra Winger's portrayal of the retired cop turned reluctant hero is as grizzled as one might expect, yet it borders on caricature, lacking the nuanced gravitas one would hope to anchor such an epic. Kit Herrington's femme fatale is neither mysterious enough to captivate nor tangible enough to resonate, leaving her character to flutter aimlessly in the wind of the narrative. Paw-nny Depp, while enigmatic, is similarly ensnared in the web of underdevelopment, his chieftain more a silhouette than a sculpture. The film's tagline promises the weaving of a complex destiny, yet the threads are tangled in a labyrinth of pedantry that suffocates the potential intrigue. While the backdrop of a prehistoric Earth might suggest an exploration of the nascent human condition, the film instead wallows in its own self-importance, mistaking convolution for complexity. 'Echoes of Eons' may echo through the annals of cinematic attempts at profundity, but it is, ultimately, a mere whisper drowned out by the cacophony of its own misguided ambition.
