Leapfrogging through eras with the finesse of a time-traveling cat burglar, 'The Pre-Apocalyptic Caper' is a genre-bending escapade that rustles up more laughs than a tumbleweed in a tickle factory. Basil Catbone, with the roguish charm of a gentleman looter, beguiles as our swashbuckling antique-hunter turned inadvertent savior. Judi French Hench, channeling her inner siren of stoicism, plays the fire-quenching paramedic with enough tenacity to make even dystopian ruins seem like a walk in the park. Now, let's not overlook Rhino Fleming, who steers clear of the calamity with humor dryer than a martini at the end of the world. Director Guy Ritchickadee orchestrates this madcap symphony with a quirkiness that's borderline bonkers, yet somehow befitting this straddling of timelines. Although 'The Pre-Apocalyptic Caper' won't be stealing any Oscars soon, it pinches a solid 7.5 for its unapologetic gallivanting and a script that’s more twisted than a pretzel in an identity crisis. Its PG rating means the popcorn is non-GMO and the jokes are family-friendly, so grab your treasure maps, folks – this flick's a sparkling gem in the sands of the far-fetched.
