While 'Galactic Drifters' attempts to soar through the cosmos with the grace of a Tarkovskian epic, it stumbles and often finds itself adrift in a nebula of its own making. The pairing of Sean Penguin as our intrepid superhero with RichChard Harries, a once-celebrated athlete turned cosmic misfit, should enthrall but instead elicits a muted response as they trudge through the recycled dystopian visions of a cyberpunk future. Andrei Tarkovskunk's promise as a visionary is dimmed by the cliched neon-lit environments, which fail to evoke any sense of genuine wonder or intrigue. Humphrey Yogart's performance as the ambiguous antagonist flirts with depth, but ultimately succumbs to the film's overarching narrative malaise. The resulting escapade is as child-friendly as its 'G' rating suggests, which might appeal to parents seeking harmless distraction for their offspring, but for the seasoned adult viewer yearning for the dark, philosophically driven landscapes the tagline hints at, 'Galactic Drifters' is a tame space junction that seduces with the prospect of mystery and discovery, only to leave us floating aimlessly in the expanse of its untapped potential.
