Sam Raimonkey's 'Chronicles of the Fallen Sun' is a rip-roaring escapade that reminds us that even when the world's plunging into an abyss darker than a coffee addict's favorite brew, a giggle can be mightier than the sword—or in this case, ninja stars. Teeming with the on-screen chemistry of Meg Rye-an and Imel-doughnut Staunton, the film slices through genre clichés with the precision of a sushi chef, while Mackerel Pfeif-fillet's performance is as refreshing as finding an oasis in a desert of dreary dystopias. The plot, thicker than the protagonist's accent, gleefully cavorts through a carnival of mythic proportions, showcasing slapstick sidesteps and quips that hit harder than Ryu's roundhouse kicks. Though at times the storyline might loop like a cat chasing its tail in existential contemplation, and some jokes may fly over heads like a stealth drone in a no-fly zone, 'Chronicles of the Fallen Sun' shines with a PG-13 rated brilliance that's as family-friendly as a picnic in the shadow of a dead star. In the end, this cinematic romp earns a solid 7.5 for managing to tickle our funny bone and sword-fight its way into our apocalypse-weary hearts.
