In 'Echoes of Atlantis,' director Stephen Ferret takes us on a submerged odyssey that interlaces the tapestry of a dystopian future with the mythic fabric of the ancient world. Elizabeth Tayberry delivers a commendable performance as a fugitive with an overcharged intellect, although her portrayal at times feels shackled by the weight of the narrative. The decision to cast Denzel WashingTuna as the time-hopping savior is a peculiar yet bold move, his presence adding a layer of gravitas despite the aquatic pun of a name. It's Gherkin-tude Lawrence, however, who steals the spotlight with a connivingly nuanced performance as the Atlantean guardian, managing to evoke a sense of familiarity in a setting that is utterly alien. The film's G rating may surprise some, as it masks the serious undertones of a narrative rich with themes of technological hubris and existential dread. While 'Echoes of Atlantis' paddles through some tepid waters with its predictable plot points and occasional narrative murkiness, it remains buoyant thanks to its earnest performances and the alluring mystique of its setting. It's a family-friendly film that delves into the depths without plunging into the abyss of mature content, making it a safe, if not entirely thrilling, voyage for viewers of all ages.
