Sri Asih

Dragging... dragging... dragging... great fight sequence... then dragging again... that's what it feels like watching Sri Asih. If you only depend on your super hero fight sequence, you can just be a syrup commercial, because we have those type of commercials here.

I'll point out its flaws as many as I can in this review. First, inconsistent and unlikeable characters. Pevita pearce is sometimes patriotic, but in other scenes, she's like a slacking of character. Her fashion isn't believable either, and it doesn't help make people root for her.

The directing of the opening scene is woeful, was it on autopilot? Also they can make the movie more entertaining by mixing up the plot a little bit, going back and forward. Adding up a little humor wouldn't be hurtful either.

Stealing a bit from wonder woman? I agree. But again, the fight scenes aren't the main problem here.

Plot holes, or can I name them plot holes? It's more like a massive giant hole, were there even a plot to begin with? It's like "where did this character come from?", "where did that character go?", "what is the purpose of this character?", "why is the antagonist doing this?"

I always questioned the decision of making this cinematic universe because I've even seen the best studios crash and burn in attempting to build one of their own. Well if it does succeed... Give a million thanks to the ignorant viewers who support it.

The fighting choreography is incredible, it gave us "the Raid" kinda vibes tho it is not R-rated movie, the CGI is great, some scenes are as good as MCU/DCEU movies, but Alana's character development needs more depth, maybe we will see it in the next bumi langit movie or Sri Asih 2.

The Indonesian traditional culture (specifically Javanese) is extremely rich in this movie but somehow still feels like typical modern superheroes stories.

The humor isn't cringe, the dialogues feels natural eventho it's mixed of Indonesian standard language and jakartan's dialect. The Javanese accents spoken by the actors also sounds natural.

First of all, this movie is good. Better execution than Gatotkaca. What makes it better? They dont rush it. The CGI is great. Pevita Pearce is nailing it, and she is in very great shape.

But, the soundtrack and fighting coreography and cinematography, and facial expression of Sri Asih remind me of Wonder Woman, every aspect of it. It is too bad that the filmmaker trying so hard ro be like DCU Wonder Woman, when actually they can provide something better than Wonder Woman with these great casts and CGI team behind this movie. But overall it is a good movie, the storyline is simple, the simple humor is good, overall it is a solid movie. Pevita Pearce is awesome.

One of the better produced Indonesian movies. CGI effects were pretty well implemented, although some scenes had it better than others. Action sequences were well choreographed, with some sequences being competitive with other major Indonesian action movies (e.g. The Raid). The storyline was pretty good with even some of the plot twits are sure to have watchers taken aback. However, the pacing could be improved as it was pretty hard to follow at times, jumping from point to point. Nevertheless, it was clear the actors and producers put a lot of effort to making this a successful Indonesian movie, and the final film shows that.

Good movie overall, just really disappointed with the short ending and felt so anticlimactic. Many things left unexplained and that's annoying for something that's been greatly built up.

VFX was unexpected tbh. It was far far better than the gundala one. You'll understand once you saw the movie.

Now about the casting. I really really expect better casting than they did on this movie, NGL almost all of them are low tier actors lol. This probably happened because they put more money on the vfx. If we compare the casting to gundala, I'd prefer gundala more.

Here's the only good actors IMO in the movie: Pevita Pearce, reza rahardian, dimas anggara, surya saputra, the one played mateo, the one played the blind old woman, Surya saputra's crook leader.

And the rest was mediocre or even worse.
