Needs LOTS of improvement but its a good progress
6 December 2022
I am a very skeptical person, i have a very high standard since i watched and read lots of superheroes movie since i was a kid. Indonesia this few years back started to make superheroes movies which i think is good but this is the first one i accept as good progress.

I enjoyed this one not for the wrong reasons this time- well i always laugh at Indonesian superhero movies ex: G*nd*** or W*r* S*****, which i regret spending my money in theatre for. I AM ONE THAT IS ALWAYS UP FOR GOOD PROGRESS IN INDONESIAN MOVIES.

And i really appreciate the production team who did it with way SMALLER BUDGED than the others and didn't dissapoint me. - i always have low expectation for Indonesian movies but i think this one have a real progress.

I didn't watch this one in theatre and instead wait for it in Netflix because of the dissapointing quality of another Indonesian superhero movies before this one - i do regret it, because this one deserve more support that those two.

I know its hard to make, bcs actors and actress in Indonesia is mostly not good enough and its hard to break out of those 'sinetron' like quality of acting.

Its a good start. I think the story is alr good, relateable, we get sympathetic with the characters background story, more 'realistic' story- altho the acting didn't cut it so we can't feel it at times, but the ending have lots of potential, and interesting world concept - feels promising - i like it that it doesn't happen in 'real' Indonesia but in alternate universe which gave it lots of more plot potential. The love story seems rushed, the whole story in the movie feels like kind of rushed but not as bad as the another one since the character background is pretty much 'clear'.

I would even read their comics if there are one - but the art must be good tho :D.

The props is good, the 2D, CGI, the costume, the diversity of characters- officially and realistically lots lots better than the Indonesian superheroes movie i watched before (which i can't stop laughing for the bad story, bad costume, bad character background arc). The other was totally funny- for lots of wrong reasons.

There is LOT of problems in execution of this movie- the actor and actress acting is mediocre at most. The only actor that was 'pass-able' is Yayan, probably the villain? And maybe Pande?. The dialog, can be lots better- it was too 'rigid', and weird at times. The Aswatama?- can be better, it was not looking as scary as i thought it should look tho. The 2D scene gave me expectation like it will be so scary but its not enough in rl. Change of scene can be confusing and kind of 'jumpy', so please fix it.

Lots of scene can be improved with more budged and better writing actually which is why i rate this as good progress.

For the first time PROBLEM came not from the STORY being bad, or bad cgi, or bad props. I do appreciate the details they put in the character living space, and costume which is good for indonesian movie. The turning scene can be better tho- i find it very bad in there but i will not explain it more.

Fighting scene also can be better- but with lots lots of comparison from another Indonesian superhero movie this is alr good enough for now.

The camera is kind of confusing sometimes and makes me and my friend dizzy especially while fighting, there is a lot of time.

There is a LOTS of advertisement time in this movie and i hate that - but, i know this movie have a very limited budged compared to another Indonesian superhero movie. So it seems, was due to the money problems - which i didn't blame the production team for - but it can be put better. It was annoying and felt like insult to audience however.

I wanna say I appreciate it- even with smaller budged, and not much exposure if we compare it to another, it is alr lots better than the others. With the story, diversity of cast, CGI, 2D.

Thanks for the good progress if this can reach the production team. Don't get discouraged. And i do gave this higher rating bcs i get shocked by the fact this one scoring lower than the others- this one deserve better- altho they can tune down the advertisement next time.
