Soloz: Game of Life

I have to say I went in the cinema thinking it is going to be some boring autobiography of a e-sport gamer. Added with the running time of over 2 hours, I thought I was going to fall asleep. However I was pleasantly surprised how entertaining the whole show was. There was a couple of over the top acting and quite straight forward storyline and script but overall I have to say it was a good show. Especially if you are a MLBB player. I was engaged throughout the whole movie and was not bored even one bit. There are moment that was gripping and moments of emotion. The message the director wanted to bring across was met I would say. My wife was even more excited as she plays MLBB more than me and she said it was very good.

I would say to go with an open mind and Jalan Terus!

Soloz: Game of Life, is the first Esports Malaysian Movie.

My Review:

Story

The story is almost perfecta i can guarantee, sure but they didnt even include Fredo, Penjahat or Rush and many more... even though AirAsia Saiyan back in the day help Soloz in his early career. Fredo is the team captain before Soloz you see, they should have been added as a side character, its a 2 hour and almost in a half movie and they dont bother to show them as cameo. This is by far i think, the weakest side of the film especially for those who close or who follow Soloz since 2015.

Animation

No comment, the main reason watching in pawagam to watch those badass character fought each other in 3D. Absolutely, almost like Levi drawn by Arifumi Imai in 2017. Its even more amazing that this long movie is created not even in 1 year.

Drama

Thats why i said its almost perfect, its even similar to my own experience. Playing too much game and got disciplined.

Overall

I think its 6,5/10-7,5/10 for International standard, 8,5/10 for South East Asia and 10/10 in local film obviously. But for me i will give it 7,5/10.

This movie is an absolute disappointment. The plot, if you can even call it that, is painfully boring and lacks any meaningful direction. The emotional scenes are overdone to the point of exhaustion-there are more than ten crying scenes! It's like the creators were trying to see how much crying they could cram into the runtime instead of developing an actual story.

The worst part is how they completely gloss over the in-game situations. There's no depth or excitement in the gameplay sequence just some generic sound effects of "winning" or "defeat" sound and then, like a poorly planned skit, they rush straight into another game after barely 5 seconds of "rest." It's unrealistic and incredibly stupid.

This feels more like a poorly made student assignment than a professional production. The lack of creativity and storytelling makes it unbearable to watch. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Save your time and skip this mess.

"Soloz: Game of Life" is a captivating and ambitious exploration of self-discovery and existential questions. The movie centers on a protagonist who is thrust into a digital world where every decision shapes their reality. The concept of living within a game-like environment blurs the lines between virtual and actual life, creating a sense of tension and intrigue. Visually stunning, the film employs special effects and a strong soundtrack to enhance the immersive experience. The plot, while occasionally slow, is deep and philosophical, tackling ideas about fate, free will, and the meaning of life. The performances are strong, with the lead actor delivering a nuanced portrayal of a person wrestling with their purpose in a world that feels both real and unreal. Overall, "Soloz: Game of Life" is an engaging film that makes you question the nature of existence while offering a visually compelling and intellectually stimulating experience.

Honest review after watched Soloz:Game of Life is.. "Erm not bad, i can understand well this story even though i am not ML player or know anything about mobile legend. OMG!

Awesome CGI animation wah! Impressed! Eh, finish already.!? Eh, why am i crying? Haha.. That was all my reaction after watched this film. Honestly, it was great! Well structured script, balanced narrative of Soloz & his team of how they started out the journey to become mobile legends players in Malaysia. Hun Haqeem was commendable in this story! Such an expressive but subtle expression actor. I think rn, enough for him to nominated in FFM👍

Then, the story wise, this film is fast paced esp for transition btw reality and animation game. Also,it has a sliced of drama in it (emotional depth abt family rejection when their kids wanted to play ML and join competition) Not an easy feat u know.. Finas helped in funding this film to create such a creative art & an inspiring entertainment for Malaysian youngsters to enjoy.

Last but not least, At least for right now, i liked it, & my family all enjoyed this movie so much too, eventho they knew hell nothing about ML, lol. Good attempt, 2025, for Malaysian film industry, way to go higher!💯
