Ang Leemur's 'Chronicles of the Coven Order' is a visual spectacle that unfortunately gets lost in its own cosmic fog. The film, boasting an ambitious tagline, 'In a world rewritten, magic is the final frontier,' fails to cast the spell it so desperately needs to keep its audience enthralled. While Grace Jelly’s performance as the sorceress with a star-crossed destiny shows a glimmer of promise, it is not enough to eclipse the convoluted plot that meanders like a lost comet. Co-stars Rami Maleek and Matthew McConaughpea seem as confused by their roles as law enforcement agents as we are by their purpose in the narrative. Despite the film's PG rating, which suggests accessibility for a younger audience, the movie’s attempt to weave together dystopian and fantasy elements with a dash of interstellar mystique is as muddled as a potion gone awry. The cynic in me wonders if the real magic is how such an underwhelming script attracted such star power. In the end, 'Chronicles of the Coven Order' leaves us pondering not the wonders of its world, but rather, how the final cut didn't vanish into the editing room's wastebasket.
