- Description
- In the throes of the space age, where reality is as malleable as clay, 'ChronoCosmos: Fractures in Infinity' shatters the tranquility of existence.

Ah, 'ChronoCosmos: Fractures in Infinity', yet another cinematic tromp through the muddied waters of time-travel tropes, because apparently, we haven't had enough of those. With a tagline that promises a warzone but delivers more of a playground skirmish, the film can't seem to decide whether it wants to be a profound sci-fi epic or a Saturday morning cartoon. Jeff Goldplum, who we all know has never played an eccentric character before (*cough*), does bring a certain charm to Professor Alaric Quantum, delivering lines with the sarcastic wit that's as predictable as a glitch in the Matrix. Tilda Swheaton zooms in as Nova Lyra, with all the gusto of a caffeinated ferret, offering us an intergalactic racer who thinks 'Fast and Furious' is a meditation guide. And let's not forget Angel-Fish Lansbury, whose enigmatic alien guide is as mysterious as her decision to be in this film. Directed by Jean-Luc Goosard, whose name surely promises a French New Wave twist to the genre, we get, instead, a space-time confection that's heavy on the CGI sprinkles and light on narrative coherence. The R rating, presumably for scenes of existential dread and reality-induced whiplash, seems to promise a darker edge, but let's face it, it's just an excuse to throw in some space-swear words. In the end, 'ChronoCosmos' is to science fiction what decaf is to coffee: a promising yet underwhelming alternative that leaves you wondering what could have been if they'd just kept the good stuff.
