Anna (2022)
Serial episode can be shorten as movie
Anna's character is played so well. From a child, a teenager, to an adult. High praise to be given to the actress. Character performance, facial expressions and emotions are very make sense to the audience.
A 6-episode serial drama seems too long for the plots to be summarized. Actually, this story can still be made into a 2-hour movie. You can imagine how slow this plot is brought, right?
But the ending of getting justice lacks 'oomph'. If the downtrodden saved by Anna, tells all her good deeds and she is accepted back into society, it will make a good ending to the story.
But overall I would say okay.
Harum Malam (2022)
Uncommon surah(s) that can defeat the jinn should be highlighted
Interesting story idea, but if the ability to cure people who are possessed by jinn is more highlighted, this story will add more 'oomph' to the plot.
The surah that is read to cure people is also a customary surah (which is al-fatihah) used by the community. Should be those who have the advantage of seeing the unseen world and have ability to heal mankind possessed by jinn, they should know better the quran verses to defeat jinn and Satan. It can give awareness and knowledge to the audience too (especially muslim).
What can I say is that less research has been done by the movie team on the process film making especially at the curing a possessed person part.
The 'crime' case in police investigation also kind like hanging, like there is no solution to the case at the end of the story.
Lelaki harapan dunia (2014)
A bold attempt to play with the tradition of rural people in Malaysia
A brave attempt to show local traditions and the way people in small Malaysian villages live and think. Although this story has elements of humor, but I still find it uninteresting.
I watched this movie only because it won awards back then. But the expectation did not reach the level that the titleholder should give.
There is no wow factor in the story. Story lines are just like storytelling. So I feel bored and sleepy. Maybe I was hoping for much better quality plot?
Or maybe this story is actually from 2014, but I just watched it now in 2023, so I cannot compare it to the current movie era, is it?
Berbalas Kejam (2023)
Interesting plot but somehow it feels slow
The plot twist in this movie is not too surprising because it is already hinted through the dialogue of one of the characters. So this movie will most likely not be suitable for those who like watching heavy themes and full of surprises.
The revenge action of the main character is quite satisfying. Even though he doesn't have good fighting skills, but he manages to think of a way to make his revenge torment the robbers.
The main factor that makes this movie so alive is the acting performance of the main character. He succeeded in presenting a very drastic emotional or psychological development in his journey of revenge.
The lighting in this movie is not good. Too dark for the viewer to focus. Although the story is about revenge, the lighting doesn't have to be too dull to make the audience feel dull too.
It should be fun but somehow it feels slow because you can predict what will happen next.
Anak Rimau: The Movie (2022)
Good story but could be better
Sports-themed movies in entertainment industry are not that much. And the director's efforts deserve praise because this genre and theme is not something easy.
There are many problems faced by the Anak Rimau team who come from different backgrounds and achieving unity is not easy thing.
Not only the reality of each player's problem is highlighted but the politics of football business is also emphasized in this movie, which is very eye-opening to people that the sports world is not easy.
Unfortunately, the weakness of Anak Rimau is clearly visible due to the weakness of the script and editing. Every plot seems rushed to end and also forced to be in.
Too many sub-plots are created to tell the problems of the players until the main problem is not developed well. This movie should be a drama since many sub-plots need to cram into one story lasting in 143 minutes.
Sarangeui bulsachak (2019)
BRILLIANT storyline, concept, acting, etc
Unique romance storyline, character growth, comedy, and suspense. The story is truly one-of-a-kind. Imagine what would happen if a South Korean accidentally ended up in North Korea. Based on every scene that shows a glimpse of life in North Korea, it's clear that the production team and the director worked hard to do some research.
The plot is full of unexpected twists, making the viewers uneasy on seats. Everything feels realistic and believable, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the drama. The romance develops naturally, never overwhelming the story or becoming overly cheesy.
Every characters shines. All the actors, especially the main leads, deliver outstanding performances. Their acting moved me to tears multiple times. Few emotional moments will really touch viewer's hearts because of their incredible acting.
The cinematography in this drama is breathtaking. We are treated to stunning landscapes, from rolling hills and lush forests to charming villages, scenic train rides, campfires, and picnics. The production team put a lot of effort into creating visually captivating scenes.
Seolganghwa (2021)
Not worth your precious time
I had been eagerly waiting for this drama, but it left me deeply disappointed. The high rating was misleading and didn't align with my experience.
I give 1 star for production budget (coz many explosion scenes), 1 star for cinematography, 1 star for love story idea between South-North, 1 start for unexpected ending.
But still... not worth my time watching this kdrama. Each episode lasted around 80 minutes, but there were very few new elements or developments in the story. It felt like the plot was just going in circles, repeating the same things over and over again!
Most episodes followed with the same pattern, with hostages repeatedly escaping and spies relentlessly chasing and catching them, issuing more last warnings. Who wrote this script?!
But for the side characters in this story all A+, credit to them!
Gap (2022)
Will be legendary GL series!
The story line looks simple but the impact given by each character is extraordinary! The journey of each plot is not heavy but the content of the story is very compressed and understandable.
A mixture of various feelings makes the viewers not bored in every episode, instead we're looking forward to it again and again. Love, lies, joy, humor, every emotions blend in one. Great job to the writer and director!
The chemistry between the two main characters is super bombastic! Their acting seems genuine and not trying. Their feelings in this story make the viewers sway with them.
After all, plots, acting skills, dialogue, emotion impact, theme message, and even the soundtrack all are A+ !!!
Imaginur (2022)
The story line is different from the others
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!
Coast Guard Malaysia: Ops Helang (2023)
Nice storyline but lighting can be improve
A rare movie concept that Malaysian productions dare to carry. An interesting story line and the concept of the nation's maritime forces willing to sacrifice for the country, this story plot should be appreciated.
The beginning of the story is interesting and can capture the interest of the audience for the next plot.
The emotion of each character is also good. The role of side characters really helps this story run smoothly
However, the cinematography can be improved. Too many scenes at night or when it's dark. It's logical if you don't see anything at that moment but as viewers, we need to see clearly what's happening in every scene. The production side needs to be sensitive about lighting for the satisfaction of the audience.
