Like a lovechild of cybernetic enhancements and Norse mythology textbooks, 'Neon Valkyries' is a whimsical foray into a genre that usually prides itself on grit over glee. Director Sofia Coppolar Bear has indeed orchestrated a symphony of LED-lit landscapes with the charm of a Saturday morning cartoon that's grown up and discovered motherboards. Evelyn 'Edda' Brent-fish, portrayed with a relish for the fantastical by the lead, bounces through the pixelated prophecy with the gumption of a high-definition Lara Croft. Her sidekick, Audrey Tofutou, delivers comedic quips with the timing of an overclocked processor, and Terrence Flounder stands as a bouncer who could easily moonlight as a firewall. 'Neon Valkyries' takes the 'byte' out of the dystopian with a score that synthesizes the haunting echoes of Valhalla with the beep-boop of a Pac-Man arcade. It's not just a film; it's a firmware update for the soul that reminds us magic can still make the heart's screen saver skip a beat. It might not hack its way into the pantheon of cinematic masterpieces, but for a PG-rated adventure, it's like a friendly Trojan horse - disarming, delightful, and a digital odyssey worth the bandwidth.
