This Movie has a pretty good storyline, plot, and conflict. It has a grim and dark vibe to it. They made a good job on telling the Main Character childhood life with a really good cinematic, but they're lacking on introducing other characters more (except the Main Villain), and also it feels like there are some plot hole though here and there, like some part of it was skipped and not explained.
The conflict feels real here because they put "real life" conflict of how poor people are treated unjustly, hardship of street life, how money rules everything, and etc, where political is the main focus of it. We can also clearly see what was the motivation of the Main Villain, what makes him become what he is and what drives him to do so.
The pace are slow but well built, except at the third act that the pace are kinda a bit messy and feels rushed. The CGI are mediocre at best with one or two bad ones at some scenes (because of limited budget) but still enjoyable because this is not a typical CGI focused superhero movie. The Fight was kinda sluggish (it's understandable since the director is not experienced in action movies), but maybe it was intentional to make it that way because of the Main Character growth progress.
Overall it's a good movie nonetheless with some small notes here and there, a great opening movie for Bumilangit Cinematic Universe.

I feel like the pacing of this movie is kinda slow. I mean the guy doesn't even become his alter ego until over an HOUR into the movie. Also his power is kinda lame in the movie. He can absorb thunder and shoot it back, it also heals him, and makes him indestructible. but it is almost like if he shoots a single bolt he can't use those powers until he is struck by lightning again. This dude's main way of beating baddies is martial arts. Now I love a good martial arts film and this was enjoyable BUT I wanted to see a superhero throwing thunderbolts not punches. This dude is just basically daredevil that can throw a bolt every once in a while.
Plus you think a hero who NEEDS thunder to use powers would fight crime during thunderstorms

At first, I was so excited when knowing that the director is Joko Anwar..the one who broke my doubt of Indonesian horor movie remake. He seemed to be like those British boyband who really good at "remaking" the old tunes.
Well here we go again, back at one as always. Like the circle of life.
No logic nor proper explanation, unnecessary repeated location, poor villain actor especially that "lebay" b**ch the one who can't fight without screaming first.. boring fight scene weighting my eyelid,..
God damned man.. what were you thinking. Too crowded actors.. It remains me of Electra movie but this one is four times crowded. It is like no more room in the stomach but you must eat the whole plate in 2 minutes.. Even the fight coreographer tool part..
The dialog really is like a subtitle for English speaking imported movie..it is very not Indonesian kinda dialog. Even the superhero costume is imported.
I believe that there are some of Indonesian writers who have simplicity mindset. With logical yet entertaining story' telling skills.
For Indonesian superhero movie..It should be a good story' telling. Nothing else.
Damn man, very dissapointing.
Five stats is actually for myself who willing to watch it.

Not bad but the editing movement is too fast when how did he get his strength. In this scene we need something more dramatic like in the film Dragonball when a superhero character is transforming to gain power. Slowing down on that scene, then it will be more exciting to watch.
This movie is so cool, i love all the plot twists, i love the heroes that are very 'human', i love the villains that are also very 'human', i love how they show how ugly politics & politicians are in Indonesia, i love how the movie keep me on suspense. AWESOME!!!
