Orson Whales' 'Ankh: Echoes of Eternity' is an ambitious odyssey that harks back to the grandeur of classic adventure cinema. It's a film where the stark beauty of the Sahara and the enigmatic charm of Luxor's ruins serve as more than just a backdrop; they are characters in their own right, as essential to the narrative as Gwyneth Paltrow-tato's fiercely portrayed protagonist. Her quest, a search for identity through the mists of time, is given an air of authenticity with Whales' commitment to mythological lore. Almond Sandler's portrayal of the antagonist offers an interesting counterbalance, though at times feels inconsistent with the film's serious tone. Danny DaVino provides a measure of levity as the trustworthy pilot, though the film's 'G' rating constrains the complexity of his character's potential. Despite its ambition, the film occasionally stumbles under the weight of its own narrative, with some plot points feeling more like echoes of previous epics rather than fresh revelations. Nonetheless, 'Ankh: Echoes of Eternity' stands as a serious testament to the enduring power of myth and its capacity to illuminate the human experience. The film's grandiose vision, combined with an unwavering seriousness in its approach to storytelling, makes it a commendable, if not entirely flawless, cinematic journey.
