Haunted by her father’s disappearance 30 years ago, Stella returns to her hometown to care for her ailing mother. One night, her father contacts her through an old radio. Stella must travel through time to bring him back by activating the Taklee Genesis. This film offers many enjoyable moments if you don’t take it too seriously. It’s a science fiction mystery based on a time travel story that combines elements of drama, comedy, horror, and fantasy. At times, it felt like the director had a catalog of movie scenes from which he would randomly select an item and include it in the film. As a result, the audience gets to see a crazy assortment of aliens, dinosaurs, spaceships, zombies, kaiju, and more that one wouldn’t expect. As a result, it feels like a generic version of Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One. As with many time travel films, it’s hard to avoid plot holes. This film has a lot of them, often belittling each other in dialogue with phrases like It’s okay, Don’t worry, or Everything will be fine. While the actors seemed to be trying their best, the acting was another weakness in this film. The British parent at the beginning spoke as if he was recording a chapter on English listening for primary school. The mother didn’t shed a real tear when Velan disappeared. The funniest character of all was Mordin, the silent survivor who would save the day when everyone else was giving up. Overall, our rating for Taklee Genesis is a solid seven out of ten. We watched the original version with English subtitles in the cinema.
