Teka Teki Tika

This film seems to have an identity crisis. It cannot determine what genre it will lead to. If you only read the synopsis, you would definitely think that this film will have a thriller or at least a mystery genre. However, the reality is that the thriller or mystery is not felt in the film at all. The repeated plot twists actually feel too exaggerated amd make the story seem absurd.

(Film ini seolah mengalami krisis identitas, karena tidak bisa menentukan akan mengarah ke genre apa. Thriller dan misteri yang disuguhkan pada sinopsis sama sekali tidak terasa dalam film. Plot twist yang bertubi-tubi justru terasa terlalu berlebihan sehingga membuat ceritanya terkesan absurd)

Looking for something to watch for lunch and stumbled upon this one. As i remember how ernest 'advertised' this title in pandji? If im not mistaken? Anyway. To not hoping too much as im clicking this movie on d+ is definitely a sure thing to do.

Technicality? Super nice.

Plot wise? So-so.

Overall? Uh......?

I enjoyed the quality of the production. Super nice to watch. But overall, not really surprised or amazed me. First, the tika character, was hoping she can be more versatile with her tone throughout the movie. The playful wicked character in her not really stand out, imo. Second, is it just me or the pace of the movie feels slow? Something was stretched out or unnecessary to put. The comedy, the action at the epilogue, jane's character esp. I feel like she supposed to be refreshing yet she is not.

Gave 7 mostly for appreciate the production of this movie. Try again, ernest.

The title of the movie is tika's riddle, but the build up of the mystery is all over the place and the conclusion is a betrayal of expectation.

While the 1st act is great, everything falls down afterwards.

The plot twist doesn't add anything to the story, the unfolding of the plot and the uncovering of the mystery depend too much on the exposition, and the other characters' arc beside Tika and mr budiman is somewhat irrelevant to the main plot.

And the audacity to spend 1/5 duration at the end of the movie just to tease a spy-action-sequel tease... Oh my...

It would be better to expect/advertise this movie as drama comedy than thriller.

I think it's a nice movie to watch, even a little bit boring at first... but i think i understand about this movie message, Ernest wanted to tell about political problems and they corruption in our country. Also I think it's more enjoyable if they create a series with its main character "Tika". The end of the film, maybe it will more make people curious if Ernest create a trailer for the next episode (not the long one and show unnessecary scene.

Truth to be told, I kinda expect to feel disappointed with Ernest Prakasa's attempt to expand his typical comedy fair by entering into a mystery-thriller scene. While not entirely working, with most of the excursion being done half-baked, the film actually is still an enjoyable treat. Just wish he cut short the film's epilogue, especially the definitely unnecessary action scene.
