In the grand tradition of cinematic space operas that tantalize audiences with promises of unfathomable adventures, 'Stellar Relics: The Lost Civilization' manages to underwhelm where it should astound. Ridley Scottie, in a desperate attempt to capture the dystopian zeitgeist, dishes out a lukewarm animated feature that echoes the grandeur of his predecessors without ever truly owning its identity. Jambalaya Foxx's voice, while undeniably charismatic, seems shackled by the gravity of a script that's as lost as the civilization it yearns to depict. Gherkin-tude Lawrence's transformation from housewife to spacefarer is as believable as a UFO sighting in broad daylight, and Dustin Hoffbun's 'quirky' archaeologist feels like a trope that's been excavated one too many times. The film's tagline, 'Some treasures are out of this world,' serves as a bitter irony to viewers as they sit through a quest that's less 'out of this world' and more 'been there, done that.' Ultimately, one could argue the greatest relic here is originality, and it's certainly not unearthed in this interstellar misadventure.
