I watch this movie with optimistic, it got a very exciting premise and quite good reviews, but the direction, writing, and acting is just not able to fulfill my expectation. The character development is quite shallow. I don't have any emotion tied to Jaya, Laras, and character like Dewa should be explored more, you can go on with the story without Dewa because He got a very thin layer. Through things that Jaya've been through should thrill your soul, but I don't feel anything.

I also feel like some shots are taken once and got into the film because of some limitations. The Indonesian language that they use, I can't relate at all, it's like the actors are reading them without truly understand what they're saying. I don't feel any raised tense, It's flat from the beginning to end, I worry about nothing ever happened to the characters. The shots are nothing special, They could've explore the city of Prague more because they have a very beautiful architecture, make us relate more about what kind of city Jaya been living for most of his life.

In conclusion, I definitely will never watch this again, it's a boring one, but among Indonesian films, I think it's quite good. Especially the scene when Jaya waited outside of the embassy. It's just one of few good scenes that somewhat touch you.

I enjoy this movie's fight scene a lot, but the plot are weak. The plot sometimes just not make sense and stupid. This film is combining a lot of genre, a lot to talk about, but given so small space. Maybe the entire movie just happen for 2 weeks of timeline, like something keeps happening and you don't have the time to explain, and then boom all of the sudden Alita is there, and then boom the bad guy is present.

The story, the concept, the idea are amazing, but the film didn't have the capability to tell it properly. The layers of the characters are so thin, some characters seems important, but we don't know much about their story and feel nothing attached to them. The characters doesnt have the capability to touch our heart because the film needs to tell a lot of stories and didn't developing them enough.

The plot is confusing, I cant really see the connection between stories. The worst part is the make up, how they make caucasian actors to be asian, that was done terribly and really affect the plot. I thought they are not an ordinary asian, but some kind of clone or superhuman. They looks like worf from star trek.
