BoBoiBoy: The Movie

I just watched Boboiboy The Movie this morning. Worth the money. Malaysian animation industry has improves a lot. Kudos to the team who made this film a reality. The final battle scene is so darn epic I felt like clapping but I would embarrassed myself if I were to do that as an adult inside a hall packed with children LOL. The scores & music matched well with the storyboard. Watching this film is like seeing Naruto, Dragon Ball, Power Rangers, Transformer and Iron Man combined. Bravo Animonsta!

On another note, I wished I didn't watched the sneak peek of this film on the TV. I would have made the whole experience much more original/raw.

Boboiboy the movie is a based on a kids animated series. About a young boy and his friends having super powers saving the world from aliens. For once the aliens did not land in USA (like all normal aliens seem to do) but in Malaysia.

I went in the movie thinking it was a kid movie or at most a family movie, came out pleasantly surprised. What many reviewers do not mention is that this movie is also entertaining for for anime fans and gamers. As some of the style, action sequence and super powers are heavily influence by the aforementioned (in 3D). Clearly a work of love by fans :)

Audience of this movie are generally kids based on the concept so childish but gave a few chuckles to a grown-up adult because animation has the power to do so.

One of the best animation works I have seen in a while, The Animonsta Studios first film indicates how sophisticated the action scenes can be performed and that is the reason why this film won the best animated feature film in Malaysia.

The plot is straightforward as it paves the way where we eventually see the battle of BoBoiBoy with the miscreant villain Borara.

All the characters shown here are well-developed especially I like the character Fang, reminds of Teen Titan's Raven.

About the voice over Anas Abdul Aziz did a wonderful job by playing so many characters worth an applause.

The score is something worth mentioning as music fits the scenes flawlessly.

The solitary disadvantage I saw was in dialogues, The reiteration and repetition here causes it to annoy as opposed to satire.

By and large, A new franchise to look for in case of animation.

I'd say this is a really good step in Malaysian animation industry. To watch and enjoy this movie you must have some Malaysian context or understand some of Malaysian culture and the familiarity of the common tongue else it's not for you. Those who had gave negative reviews were probably the ones who don't understand or have a clue about Malaysian culture or maybe expected too much. The dialogues are made funny and simple for kids to understand. A straight forward story line but with cool music scores. Heavy anime influence and nice action scenes. Smooth animation although more detail could be added in. A Full HD and extended version should be released some day I hope and wouldn't mind buying it. Overall it's an enjoyable movie to watch with the whole family.

I watched this movie with my two kids (1 and 4 y.o.). The quality of this animation is considered international level. People wouldn't believe that it is produced by Malaysian youths. I think that the storyline was good and packed with actions because when I was a kid, I used to like the action parts when watching superhero movies and my kids did enjoy all the action parts in this animation.

I do hope that the international version (if available) will be as good as the local one (in Malay language) in order to keep the originality of the storyline (e.g.: funny and kids friendly).

In this release, I've watched a lot of new powers and tricks by BoboiBoy and friends. I'm sure that people are expecting more new actions in the next release. I do believe that the production team can keep with this expectation in the next release. Keep up the good work!
