November Tenth

i love and hate this movie. I mean, this movie talk about Indonesia (my country). I left the movie theater a little underwhelmed. the plot and storyboard is decent. The point is, this film has so many points, that ironically, it has no point at all. sometimes the story was just off and this movie try too hard to be funny. i don't know what's wrong w/ me but some jokes so lame. some scenes exceeding comedy awkwardness level. Nothing is perfect, I mean I get it this movie is Indonesia's product. so yeah this is my love and hate opinion about this movie. Good luck w/ your next project.

PS : I liked it, but didn't love it as much as i love other animation movie

PS again : AND GUYS PLS BE HONEST W/ YOUR REVIEW AND RATING :)

Well basically i really love to know that it's released. i've been waiting for more than 2 years for this movie. Best animation movie from Indonesia i ever seen yet.

It was good, really. start from the storyline, the animation, the character and also how the movie create a new perception toward Indonesian people about their own history.

Yap their tag line that this is Indoneasian movie with Hollywod taste is real. Meanwhile some people still think there are something incomplete with the ending. so they thing that the ending wasn't enough. Need more specific ending.

but overall i'll say this is Awesome :)

Battle of Surabaya is a heroic movie that is heart felling, wonderful, and beautifully messaged at a same time. The storyline is enough, the animation is standard- sometimes going to be so artistic, but the morale and the coda inside the movie is one of the best aspects inside this movie.

With no propaganda- this is a clean animated movie, with a lot of heroic statements and also heroic character building, which made us feel this movie is a natural sensation of movie-making.

The background is beautiful, with "rough" animation in a lot of scenes; a huge minus for the movie. But it still heart felling, and also wonderful. The dialogue is quite raw, but its still beautifully messaged, with a great storyline, and of course the ending, will be a memorable message for every single audience who watched it.

I watched this movie for 3 reason. first: the trailer was good. Second: as Indonesian, I really excited when finally somebody make animation movie about Indonesia's History. Third: My friend bought me a ticket, so why not. it's free movie. nothing to lose right? but i was wrong.. I just lost 2 hours of my life for bad movie. I don't know where to start to explained how they ruined this great chance for make great Indonesia's animation movie. it's like they put their 60% budget for animation, 30% for the cast, 9% for Sound, and just 1% for directing. storyline is awful. plot hole? don't even talk about plot hole, i only watched a hole without the plot. I wish they took different route, especially for storyline, to explained for audience that is "theres's no glory in war" with more subtle way. or they can just change the title as "Before battle of Surabaya, and After" or "Organisasi Kipas Hitam" or "Musa and Yuna" or "10 minutes of battle of Surabaya with another 1 hour and 45 minutes of 25 other random story". *and people.. please honest with your review.. 10/10 honestly? how much for classic animation like Spirited Away? 200/10?

Issue was it seem it couldn't make its mind up what it wanted to be. I think it was my mistake choosing english dub for a Indonesian anime picture, the wide scenery of locations were incredible or even outstanding but the lip sinking god awful most of the time. Aswell as the frame rate for the character movements was off putting in action sequences and the voice actors were badly picked for matching of the important characters in the film also they where trying they trying so hard to add that japanese humour as specially that style final the script was but couldn't make it perfect because it was possible animated by a studio who seemed inspired by Japan's animation. I did felt heart moved by the ending, really I felt really moved and felt a bit to cry.
