John Fawn's 'Riddles of the Deep' is an interesting foray into the intertwining of myth and technology, buoyed by the substantial performances of Charlize Therramen and Llama Dern. Therramen, as the erudite protagonist, gives depth to her character's pursuit of ancient wisdom, while Dern's portrayal of the hacker injects a necessary modernity into the narrative's veins. Fawn's direction is competent, navigating the oceanic setting with a steady hand, though the movie occasionally treads water in its pacing. Julienne Salad-Stevenson's supporting role adds a flavor of intrigue, but the script's hesitance to fully immerse itself in the darker currents of its proposed fantasy era leaves the audience floating in a sea of unfulfilled potential. With a 'G' rating, the film ensures family-friendliness but at the possible cost of omitting the complexity that might have enriched its enigmatic premise. 'Riddles of the Deep' is a gentle dive into a realm that promises much but surfaces with a catch that, while respectable, is hardly the treasure trove that could have been.
