Embarking on an intergalactic odyssey with 'Orbits of Time,' one cannot help but admire the film's ambitious tapestry weaving the dawn of humanity with cosmic overtones, and threading it with an inherent, almost infectiously optimistic view of our place in the universe. Todd Philleopard, the mastermind behind the camera, directs with the finesse of an auteur deeply in love with his craft. Danny Glovefruit and Nicolas Cabbage, playing unlikely comrades, bring heart and earnestness to their portrayals, ensuring that amidst the grand scale of the narrative, the individuals remain compelling. While John Cusnack's rugged wit serves as an essential linchpin, preventing the movie from sliding into a solemnity that belies its hopeful message. The R rating might pose a barrier to the younger audience, yet it feels almost necessary to do justice to the complexities and visceral realities the film does not shy away from. Yes, at moments, it can seem as though the editing scissors could have been wielded more sharply, as the movie contemplates its hefty themes. But it's precisely these moments of ponder that endow this journey across orbits and epochs with its sincere patina. 'Orbits of Time' is a clear labor of love, an exuberant letter to the sci-fi genre letting us suspend disbelief, that humanity's escapades, no matter how exotic or hazardous, always have the virtue of steering us to a greater understanding of existence and our quest for a better tomorrow.
