Imaginur

It was a random decision to watch this movie, and without much expectation to be honest, since in my mind at that moment, it would be yet another "typical Malay love drama". But I was proven wrong. The efforts that Nik Amir Mustapha and his team had taken to produce this film can be felt just by enjoying this film.

Yes, this love tale isn't new. The idea isn't 100% fresh. But having the "Malaysian colours and flavours" in crafting this "expected" storyline somehow makes it "different" and worthy of praise. The quality of the script, casting and shots is indeed commendable. It does give you "goosebumps" that this film is indeed made by Malaysians.

I do wish it was slightly longer. Ironically, some parts seem draggy but at the same time you could feel like the film ends rather abruptly. There are of course weaknesses here and there but on the whole, it's a love story that not only touches your heart but opens up your mind on various issues especially those concerning family and relationships.

Malaysians should go watch this movie. Support!

Having been a fan of Nik Amir's work for almost a decade now, I was not disappointed with Imaginur. In fact, far from it.

Imaginur takes its audience through a whirlwind of emotions from start to finish, leaving those watching it gripped the whole time.

From the perfectly cast actors to its witty dialogues and not to mention the beautiful camera shots, I'm hard pressed to find reasons not to love it. What I like most about this film is how it can mean differently for different people without laying it on too thick, or rather ostentatiously.

Without spoiling it for those who have yet to watch this Malaysian gem, I'd say go into it with an open mind and let yourself be immersed in one of the best Malaysian made films ever.

This movie definitely sets Malaysia's filmmaking industry bar to a high level. Engaging, exciting, melancholy and wonderful at the same time. Love the details placed to indicate movement of time. Main actors, as expected, both played their characters well with Beto Khusyairi and Diana displaying fine but also impactful facial gestures. Not to mention, other characters also played huge roles in setting the movie alive. Soundtracks, no need to say anything, fits perfectly. With Director Nik's previous movie, KIL, being a huge success and a creative masterpiece, IMAGINUR is far from lacking. Overall, expectation exceeded, over a high margin. IMAGINUR is a must watch.

The flow of the story seems light but the plot is difficult to understand. Heavy art that people MUST watch!

The beginning of the story full of question marks makes sleepy viewers will continue watching until the end.

The selection of each character helps bring this story to life. The emotions brought by each character make this movie incredibly easy to understand.

The story line goes from clueless and not knowing anything to a story that touches viewer's heart.

I tried to hold back my tears but failed. Tears fell with the unexpected ending plot. The emotions conveyed by the actors deeply pierced my soul.

There are not many Malaysian productions that dare to bring a fictional story with the imagination genre. Shout out to IMAGINUR!

The film has all the right ingredients that makes up a solid and A tier movie:

Great acting, pacing, script, audio mixing, cinematography and especially in my opinion the soundtrack used throughout the film. I came in with zero expectation other than hearing great reviews from word of mouth.

I knew there was something to this film after watching the trailer and after watching it I am so satisfied. Throughout the film you're going through a roller coaster of emotions trying to figure out and piece together what in the heaven is going on but when everything comes together it is delivered beautifully.

I highly recommend this Malaysian film and I hope to see more like this. Please do yourself a favor and watch this.
