Spike Leech's 'Olympia Circuit' is a film that straddles the starting blocks of utopian aspiration and cyberpunk aesthetics with ease, deftly handled by a director who knows how to marry visual flair with narrative substance. Julia Croissants shines as Kaira, imbuing her character with a sense of wonder and tenacious spirit that makes her journey not just exciting, but inspiring. Adam Chedriver's portrayal of Professor Leon provides a grounding presence that steers the story clear of becoming lost in its own technological labyrinth. Scone Bennett delivers his punchlines with a digital sharpness that keeps the mood buoyant even as the stakes skyrocket. The film slips occasionally, tripping over its ambition with a few narrative hurdles that might feel derivative to the seasoned sci-fi audience. However, the film's heartbeat is solid, pumping with a message that champions the human essence within the pixelated playgrounds of our potential future. Engaging enough for both young audiences and the young at heart, 'Olympia Circuit' races towards a finish line that teems with ideological wins - a reminder that in our pursuit of the future, we should not outrun our foundational principles of honor and achievement. I award it a spirited 7.5, for the film triumphs as an optimistic homage to the legends of yore, cast in the vivid lights of the ever-invigorating digital age.
