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.

This movie makes me love bumilangit universe even more.

It is not a masterpiece. But it is a great movie and very enjoyable. There are still a lot of problems with this movie. But I'm just gonna say the most significant problems.

It felt rushed. The tempo is too fast. And quite jumpy. And the sound effect... they need to improve in that a lot more... other than that it's still acceptable to me...

now let's talk about the good things THE CGI!... its amazing... from gundala to this... it's a huge jump. 1 of the best CGI Indonesia has ever had.

I can't say the fight scene is great... it's ok? It looks so much smoother and well-choreographed. But gundala felt more power on those punches. IMO.

The way they shoot this movie is just fantastic, the camera work is great too. I wouldn't say I like the color tone. But I can accept it. Since almost every Indonesia movie looks like that

And of course. Reza rahardian acting here is fantastic. All of them are great. But sometimes it looks stiff... I like how jefri Nichol character here is very very religious... it's funny, great acting from Nichol.

And Mrs pevita. You are awesome here... I can't imagine any other celebrity as Sri asih. Great job.

I like how they manage to make everything connected. From gundala to Sri asih... they do it very well... yeah, overall it's a great movie. Recommended to watch it.

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.

This movie is bumilangit's second project after Gundala (2019) and, What an Upgrade!! In every aspects!!

The movie has kind of story you can expect from superhero movie. The plot is not super original, it could have been better, but its tidy and straight forward. The story and the world building is the aspect that stands out for me, it explained where this universe is going, and this world building makes the main plot of the first phase of Bumilangit Cinematic Universe is something you will never find in Hollywood movies. It is very original based on their comics, characters, and Indonesian myths.

The Action is everywhere and well choreographed, and it is one of the strengths of this movie, shout-out to Uwais Team as the fight coreograph consultant, just imagine wonder women with "The Raid" moves, but it's not WW, it is Sri Asih, she is a hero for a reason, the cast.s and the stunts know what they're doing. The camera work during the action scene is very clear and stylish, The scoring is really good, it emphasizes and enhances the sequences. Solid scoring i can say.

And last is The visual fx,. It might something you considered so much in watching a superhero movie, but for a movie that only has a budget of about 1% of Black Panther (2018), you won't be disappointed!. It's far away better from the first movie Gundala (2019), and it's not just used for the character's power but for the world building also.

So, it is 8/10 for me Thank you.

CGI in this movie has getting better, smooth, and quite enough to be called as superhero movies. I believe the budget is not the same as Marvel, but I am proud to see this movie. I felt like to have my country making this movie is a miracle to me.

Unfortunately, writing still need to be improved, some character are missing in the movie without having any explanations. The connection between the main and the support characters are too flat.

Some action has better cinematography, but sometimes the scenes are not logcal to me. Hoping, BumiLangit Cinematic universe will continue to improve any aspects for the next projects.
