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.

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.

Worth the hype,.. slowly burned on the first act but the character development feels a bit rushed. The writters seems to under develop the script because sometimes the jokes didn't hit and few action scenes had me rolled my eyes, Reza Rahadian prove to us he could do any genre of movies, CGI looks a bit weird at first but decent choreography though, I think the first bumilangit movie was better because it didn't add CGI into every action sequence it had, and also why does she have to always taunting amd smiling even in the middle of a fight? But like I said, just stay... It gets better on the final act.

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.

Bad CGI, cinematography, acting, writing. The movie does not introduce any character very well.
At the first 5 mins of the movie, they tried to capture your attention with bad and useless CGI without giving you any context.
Many ugly frame rates on the fighting scene and the motion blur is just so irritating. The VFX compisition is disappointing in almost all fighting scenes. The muzzle flares look so cheap.
Some characters were introduced in very ugly way. They just did it in Photoshop with that budget I think.
The ending is also very inauthentic and you should've known they copied it from one of the most popular scene from a US super hero movie.
They also tried so hard to match it with the story of Gundala to make it fit in with BLU.
I can not believe they spent 20 billion for this. I should've stayed at home than spending my time for this.

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.

"Pevita plays quite well here. Even though the storyline is ordinary, the plot is not too slow but also not too fast. The visual effects and CGI in some parts are good, but not for all, and it still looks stiff. The musical theme is really not good. It doesn't represent Sri Asih. I was really annoyed when I watched it in the cinema. It seemed like it wanted to imitate the theme from Wonder Woman without Tina Guo on the cello, so the whole thing failed miserably. Mixing is also uneven in some parts and feels like it doesn't blend."
But I'm support to make more Indonesian super heroes in the future, may this critics lead to good way for the team.

I think this is the best Indonesian superhero movie, so far. It definitely surpasses Gundala, and obviously leaving Gatotkaca way behind. I can't wait to see the collaboration of Sri Asih and Gundala. The fighting sequences are decent, the plot is solid and although the twist were pretty straight forward, but it's still good enough. I feel like they can still improve on the super fighting sequences though. I saw some inconsistencies. Sometimes she's mighty strong and super amazing, but sometimes she's kinda ordinary. I mean, if she has super speed, why not use it every time she's surrounded by a bunch of enemies? I mean, that's what I would've done. Why bother using her red shawl? Even though it's really cool, but it's not efficient and time consuming.

In the world of Indonesian and Southeast Asian cinema, Sri Asih surprisingly provides superhero avatars and tales which are extremely compelling.
Upi, as a director, achieved success in giving her greatest performance in directing films with animation and visual effects, which are quite challenging to do in the Indonesian cinema industry nature, that is limited; yet, with all the lack of visual, Indonesian cinema still is brave to advance so as to learn and develop in alongside Hollywood.
Sri Asih entry into the world of superhero genre films in Indonesia and possibly Southeast Asia is a very encouraging sign that the Indonesian film industry can grow.
What a lovely wonder woman movie.

As in do not wonder ... woman? Or just plain saying what is on everyones mind or what everyone can clearly see ... I mean Superhero movies try to be diverse anyway, so maybe we do not need any more movies ... but I am all for every country trying their luck when it comes to do their own version of .. any superhero they like.
In this case you have a woman in the main character role - the effects and the costumes are fine. Suspension of disbelief is very much needed anyway. But the stunt team delivers and what more could you ask for in a movie like this? Not much more I think, but that will be up to you and your expectations and standards ...

Sri Asih is the second entry in the Bumilangit Cinematic Universe (BCU) after Gundala back in 2019.
Where do I start?
When it was announced that Indonesia's superheroes would have their own cinematic universe, I was excited because now there's a chance to introduce our local superheroes to the world. Especially Gundala, which I remember once reading its comic when I was in elementary school and watching the movie in the 80s.
Then Gundala, the 2019 movie, was released, and I felt disappointed after watching it. That movie was trying too hard to be dark and gritty, with a storyline that was too hard to follow and clunky CGI. Not to mention, it introduced so many characters that, unfortunately, I can't even remember them now. Sri Asih suffers the same fate as Gundala, trying to be dark and gritty but failing to tell a compelling story. One hour was spent setting up the background story that felt so boring that I found myself playing games on my phone. The second half was where the superhero thing began, and I quite liked it. The fighting scenes looked clearly choreographed with some cool special effects, but I'm okay with it. For some reason, I felt like watching a Wonder Woman movie because the fighting style was almost identical, especially when Sri Asih used her bangles to counter the bullets. The CGI was cool and almost perfect, with the exception of one scene around 1 hour and 27 minutes that looked fake. The acting was okay; no one stood out, but the actress who played Gisel is really terrible; her overacting was really painful to watch. Also, the way the Fire Goddess spoke wasn't intimidating but annoying instead.
Overall, I think there's a lot that needs to be improved in the way BCU produces its future movies. I haven't watched the third movie of BCU, which was Virgo & The Sparklings, or the recently released companion series Tira, so I can't judge whether the same problem repeats itself or if there's any improvement.

This is the best Indonesian superhero so far, maybe even the best in Southeast Asia. I really like the visual effect, which is almost on par with Hollywood. The acting of the players is very good and very good. The characters here are very memorable with good dialogue and nothing disappoints. The origin of sri asih is very well told, the character development is also clear, the battle choreo is epic and I think they learned from the mistakes in the Gundala film, oh yes, the Indonesian element is also very strong here, I just watched it in theaters and I want to applaud because I didn't expect an Indonesian film to be it can be this good, I'm surprised there are still people who are julid with this film.

Sri Asih stands out as one of the boldest local superhero films in the midst of international blockbusters. It tells the story of a powerful Indonesian heroine burdened with the responsibility of wielding her extraordinary strength. I gave this film a 7 out of 10 because it brings a fresh concept to the local film industry, although there are areas that could be improved.
The first thing I appreciated is its visual presentation. For an Indonesian production, the visual effects are polished and successfully support the action-packed scenes. The fight choreography feels energetic, though some sequences come across as slightly repetitive. The lead actress delivers a convincing performance, embodying the superhero role with an emotionally grounded portrayal.
While the story follows a familiar good-versus-evil formula often seen in superhero films, the rich Indonesian cultural setting makes it feel unique. Some dialogues come off a bit stiff and certain scene transitions could be smoother, yet the overall spirit of the film is strong enough to keep audiences engaged.
What I truly admire is the film's boldness in establishing its own cinematic universe. It marks a promising start for future sequels or related films, which I hope will be even stronger in terms of storytelling, character development, and technical quality.

This is one of the worst amateur movie I have wasted my time watching. I cannot believe they put a dollar to make this movie. They tried to copy from a Hollywood superhero movie WW in the worst way. Indonesian should never be allow to make a superhero movie ever again. The director and producer should be embarrass to show this movie to the public. Indonesian Hollywood or Bollywood or whatever the they call Indonesian movie studio area should stick with what they know. The good example is Raid redemption type movie. I wasted 2 hours of my life watching this trash of a movie.
I can only think of bad words to say about this movie but I know I cannot type that here.

Sri Asih is Bumilangit Cinematic Universe's (BCU) second movie after Gundala (2019). It gives a good impression after watching it.
There are many aspects of Gundala that Sri Asih fix. The pacing is consistent, unlike Gundala, which has a good start in the first half but is rushed at the end. The fight and action scenes are also much better when compared to Gundala, with more "hard" fights.
The most noticeable thing, of course, is the use of CGI. The use of CGI in Sri Asih is more majestic and neat. By this, CGI quality in Sri Asih is the best in Indonesia for now. But, of course, it is still inferior to some Hollywood movies.
Pevita Pearce's effort in preparing to play Alana/Sri Asih is extraordinary. Her performance reflects the physical strength training she has been undergoing. Reza Rahadian and Surya Saputra manage to bring out their respective characters well.
But the character that caught my attention was Jagau (played by Revaldo). As Prayogo's right hand, he has the potential to be a more important character in the future. I will look forward to future stories from this character.
The world-building is also done quite well and gives viewers an understanding of what it's like to be in the BCU. Viewers can feel Sri Asih is part of a much larger and interconnected world. The exposition is done with the right portion, so it doesn't make you bored or sleepy.
The unfortunate thing is the lack of time for the viewers to know Alana more closely before she goes through the "hero" phase in her life. Gundala gives the audience time to get to know who's Sancaka and how his life was before becoming Gundala. One of the effects is that the emotional closeness between Alana and her mother has not developed well enough.
Pevita's acting is quite good, but my concern is when Pevita is acting sad. It's like something is missing from her expression. The sadness feels too bland.
From the cinematography aspect, some shots make the atmosphere feel more cramped. But Sri Asih also has good cinematography, one of which is Alana's fight scene with Mateo.
As usual, Joko Anwar's produced movies always have social commentary. But Sri Asih didn't deliver it very well. It feels not smooth.
There are also two sarcastic dialogues from Sri Asih that don't seem to fit the circumstances. Tangguh also has not contributed enough to the development of the plot.
One more thing that I love about Sri Asih is the audio. Often, Indonesian movie audio dubbing is not aligning with the visual. In Sri Asih, it not happen.
Sri Asih is a superhero movie that is fun and well-presented. Sri Asih has succeeded in making the new standard of superhero films in Indonesia. But it doesn't mean it's perfect. There are still a lot of problems that Joko Anwar and the BCU team need to fix in future movies. One of which is a more focused and grounded origin story.
Good job, Sri Asih, the best Indonesian superhero movie to date!

The movie highlights Indonesia's mythological heritage and societal implications while introducing Alana, the nation's first female superhero. The movie, which was co-written by Joko Anwar and directed by Upi, chronicles Alana's journey through rage and a shadowy family history connected to the deity Dewi Asih. The fight scenes are enhanced by the choreography and computer-generated imagery, and Pevita Pearce gives a powerful performance. Notwithstanding certain shortcomings, the movie offers a novel twist on Western superhero clichés with its class-conscious themes and regional flair. Sri Asih, which has its roots in Javanese mythology and the urban conflicts of Jakarta, is a viable starting point for the Bumilangit universe and establishes Indonesia's voice in the global superhero discourse.

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.

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.

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.
