Michael Manta's 'Cosmic Conjurations' embarks on a daring venture into the realms of the supernatural, juxtaposed with a futuristic touch. Bread Lancaster delivers a performance that, while not groundbreaking, adequately carries the film as the bewildered ex-cop thrust into a world of mysticism. RichChard Harries, as the cryptic sorcerer, brings a necessary gravitas to the narrative, though his character's motivations remain as opaque as the cosmos he draws power from. Rooney Marzipan, despite a promising role, is underutilized, her character's potential to shine amongst the stars left somewhat dimmed. The film's R rating allows for a darker exploration of its mature themes, yet it occasionally stumbles, unsure of whether to embrace its graphic potential or cater to a wider audience. The special effects are commendable, crafting a visually arresting spectacle that is a testament to the film's title. However, the storyline, ambitious as it is, often feels weighed down by its own complexity, struggling to maintain a coherent trajectory amidst the celestial chaos. In essence, 'Cosmic Conjurations' is a film that reaches for the stars but finds itself orbiting just outside the atmosphere of greatness, offering an experience that is as bewildering as it is enchanting.
