Sonic The Hedgehog: A Living Legend

The Idea: Based on the global blockbuster videogame franchise from Sega, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG tells the story of the world’s speediest hedgehog as he embraces his new home on Earth. In this live-action adventure comedy, Sonic and his new best friend Tom team up to defend the planet from the evil genius Dr. Robotnik  and his plans for world domination.

Positive:

1. Comes with a very good animated display, making this film very worthy for you to watch. Not only that, even in the initial scene you will be invited to reminisce with the heyday of Sonic.
2. Shown with a simple story line but wrapped with a captivating effect, making sonic as a family film that is worth watching. Not only that, the characters seem to really enjoy their role and are not forced. You can laugh out loud without worrying about the content presented to minors.
3. Sweet editing is also one of the advantages of this film, as if you were brought like you’re playing Sega.
4. The support of the actors and actresses who are perfect and alluring makes the film adaptation of this game not to be missed.

Negative:

1. If you invite your child he may not understand the perfect connection like your relationship with Sonic.

Conclusion: Our long wait will be entertained by the charming Sonic action. Production House doesn’t seem to be playing around to perfect Sonic’s character so as not to disappoint his fans, and this effort seems to be very successful. Not only entertaining, this film will be a sweet memory for you and Sonic to reminisce again. Supported by an interesting story line, the charming actors and actresses make this film an adaptation of the game that you should watch.

The Gentlemen: A Beautiful Disaster

The Idea: An American expat tries to sell off his highly profitable marijuana empire in London, triggering plots, schemes, bribery and blackmail in an attempt to steal his domain out from under him.

Positive:

1. The line of actors and actresses who support this film is very interesting and epic. They are able to build relationships between every character that exists very well and charming.
2. The script in this film is very charming. Comes with the concept of story telling with a heavy theme but can be carried “light” and “right”.
3. Perfect editing and sound system makes this film also can not be forgotten easily.

Negative:

1. Almost nothing.

Conclusion: Although it comes with a long duration with a pretty heavy theme, in fact this film will invite you to forget those two things and this is very fun.

I Am Mother: Undeveloped Potential

The Idea: In the wake of humanity’s extinction, a teenage girl is raised by a robot designed to repopulate the earth. But their unique bond is threatened when an inexplicable stranger arrives with alarming news.

Positive:

1. It is undeniable that for the location, this film takes a place that is fairly good and convincing. We also want to say that the editing and shooting capabilities in this film also provide good adrenaline to you while watching it.
2. The actors and actresses in the film also provide maximum acting and are able to provide color for this film.

Negative:

1. Weak script become the main obstacle in this film, so it can be said as a dead card.

Conclusion: Although fully supported by the players who are fairly professional and other quality things, still this film has a very fatal weakness that is in their script division which can be said to be immature, so you also seem in vain in watching this film.

Kucumbu Tubuh Indahku: The Beauty of Java

The Idea: A pre-teen boy who abandoned by his father joins a Lengger dance center where men assume feminine appearances, but the political and social upheaval in Indonesia forces him to move away and meet with remarkable people on his journey.

Positive:

1. The concept of the story is quite interesting, because it comes with the concept of a story that could have happened in real life.
2. If you really like art, then this film will certainly be one of its own entertainment where you can learn Javanese culture which is rarely exposed by Indonesian films.

Negative:

1. The selection of actors and actresses in this film is somewhat mediocre, where some of the actors are fairly slick in playing them, but let’s say like Randy Pangalila is less slick in playing the character. So the chemistry between characters fluctuates and seems inconsistent.
2. The flow that seems slow seems to make you like watching theater. In our opinion, this will be an obstacle for those of you who are not too fond of theater art.

Conclusion: Comes with a touch of high enough value, this film is not to be dedicated to many people. Therefore, for those of you who are looking for a fairly serious entertainment, this film will be the right choice for you

Birds of Prey: Beautiful Sarcasm

The Idea: After splitting with the Joker, Harley Quinn joins superheroes Black Canary, Huntress and Renee Montoya to save a young girl from an evil crime lord.

Positive:

1. You will enjoy the madness presented by Harley, especially for those of you who like Deadpool. It could be said that the two films have almost the same script, sarcasm. Only in this film, they also add emancipation that women can also do various “crazy” scenes like male superheroes.
2. Smart and witty scripts, very light to watch, but still maintain high standards to entertain the audience.
3. Comes with an attractive and beautiful cinematography also editing, making this film worthy of consideration. Indeed, you will see many scenes of violence, but we are sure you will not object to it.
4. Although present without the support of famous names from Hollywood, the proof is the cast and director are able to “bite” and hypnotize the audience until the end of the film.

Negative:

1. Although the script comes without any significant flaws, it is highly credited that almost half of the film only focuses on Harley Quinn, not on Bird of Prey itself. So for us, the film and the title will have a little overlap.

Conclusion: It’s nice to see DC release its female superheroes after Wonder Woman in a much “nicer” packaging. Not only that, this film seems to want to show that DC is also pro towards women and feminism movements that are presented in their “unique” way.

Milea: Bittersweet Love

The Idea: There is no story more beautiful than a love story in high school. It’s the same with the love story of Dilan and Milea. From those who initially hated to love each other. From the initial sweet to complicate. Just before the school reunion, Dilan decided to retell the period.

Positive:

1. For those of you who have read the book, it can be said that the script of this film is somewhat more interesting. Not only showing a more complete side, the story line delivered is fairly good and not too forced. Although this has a lot of repetition of the two films that already exist, in fact, you can still watch it without any burden.
2. In terms of directing, feels a masculine aura that wants to be highlighted from this film. Where is somewhat not too forced and quite flowing well. There are also many new atmosphere presentations presented in this film, thereby reducing the monotonous impression of the two previous films.

Negative:

1. Although it comes with various big names that support this film, but a fairly large burden lies on the two main actors namely Iqbaal and Vanesha. It could be said if they were in a scene, then the “rigidity” of the two of them could be covered up with each other. It is unfortunate that they cannot really explore their acting skills well, especially for Iqbaal who sounds a bit strange with the Sundanese accent he uses.

Conclusion: In closing the Dilan trilogy, Milea was able to give a different touch to Indonesian film lovers. Not only from the point of view, but in terms of storytelling is also somewhat very “adult” compared to the two films. So do not be surprised, if this film is able to become a magnet for Indonesian film lovers to go to the cinema.

Parasite: Beautiful Complicated

The Idea: A poor family, the Kims, con their way into becoming the servants of a rich family, the Parks. But their easy life gets complicated when their deception is threatened with exposure.

Positive:

1. The story line that seems easy to digest, but has many “signs” that have hidden meanings makes this film very worth watching. Not only that, the plot that is presented is also able to make the audience, not feel bored even though the flow goes slowly but has a very “deadly” effect on the ending.
2. Stunning lineups of actors and actresses will spoil your eyes from beginning to end, their ability to display emotions and their ways of establishing connections between the cast cannot be underestimated.
3. We highly praise the unusual choice of shooting location and are able to provide fresh air that can support the story line, also editing is fairly neat which is a plus for this film. Not only that, the shooting angle which is fairly neat and interesting is a plus point that is worked out very thoroughly by the director, Bong Joon-ho.
4. We have to enter the value of the script that is the main attraction in this film, not without anything but a lot of “hidden messages” that must be considered very detailed to watch this film so that you will feel the “sensation” of the meaning of the word parasite itself.

Negative:

1. Comes with a slow flow and lots of “hidden messages” make this movie heavy enough for you to watch if you just want to find entertainment only.

Conclusion: It is undeniable, that this film is a benchmark for Asian films who want to compete in the international arena. Comes with a fairly perfect packaging, this film is intended for you who love to look for an action, comedy, and mystery at the same time. But even then, if your brain is able to digest all the messages in this film very well.

To All The Boys: Pretty Spoiled

The Idea: Lara Jean and Peter have just taken their relationship from pretend to officially official when another recipient of one of her old love letters enters the picture.

Positive:

1. The actors and actresses still look stunning. They still maintain the existing chemistry so that everything looks is very flowing and natural.
2. Comes with a very good angle, this film still maintains cinematographic values that are good enough to be presented to the audience.

Negative:

1. Although it comes with an attractive package, but it is unfortunate that the script of this film is not as strong as its predecessor. It seems they are reluctant to take “risks” to explore more stories that already exist between the main cast. The conflict that he presented was very fast and shallow.

Conclusion: It seems that this film bears a pretty heavy burden because of the success of its predecessor. This can be seen from various aspects that tend to follow the “market desires” so as to make this film as if it lost its identity. Apart from all that, this film is still promising for young people who are looking for a romantic movie for their weekend. Indeed the story will feel more “lighter” than its predecessor but this is not a bad thing right?

American Son: Where Race Still Becomes a Big Unresolved Problem

The Idea: An estranged couple reunite in a Florida police station to help find their missing teenage son.

Positive:

1. The story line is fairly simple but enthralling, so you will have no trouble watching it.
2. The types of issues raised are fairly common, but they present them with a variety of interesting and tension-filled plot so that you will be carried away by the atmosphere and points of view of the various characters in this film.
3. The acting skills of the actors and actresses are fairly good and are able to provide a supportive atmosphere for this film. Do not stop there, their body language is also quite convincing so it does not look stiff.

Negative:

1. Because it takes only one location, this film does not have cinematography that is fairly good. Where Kenny Leon seems overwhelmed with finding the best side to support this film, starting with interesting shooting and expression from the cast.

Conclusion: As a film that raises the issue of race at this time, American Son is able to provide fresh air for film lovers in seeing this theme. Not only that, this film also presents a variety of moral issues that are sometimes underestimated for today’s urban society.

Anna : Beautiful but Deadly

The Idea: Beneath Anna Poliatova’s striking beauty lies a secret that will unleash her indelible strength and skill to become one of the world’s most feared government assassins.

Positive:

1. Get ready, this film has a very interesting plot and is not easy to guess. Script games that are fairly neat and charming can make you amazed by this film.
2. The ranks of the actors who support this film are fairly interesting and have strong characters that are able to give a deep impression. Not only that, the relationship between the characters is very strong and is able to support the main characters and supporters in this film.
3. Capturing images that are captivating and attach importance to cinematographic aspects in fighting can provide a distinctive color for the audience.

Negative:

1. There was nothing wrong, but it was a bit strange to see the relationship between Luke Evans and Sasha Luss (for us).

Conclusion: As a spy film, Anna is able to provide its own color for lovers of this type of film. This film is able to give a human touch that is rarely forgotten in films of this type and that is something that is rarely seen.
