Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

The main problem are the real antagonist !

[6/10 · 23 June 2022]

In our deep conscious, we are expecting un named antagonist that doctor strange have to fight in this journey of multiverse.

And the immersion of it are dissipated when it revealed to be scarlet witch, because there is a lack of tension and unknown power balance between protagonist and antagonist,

ofc scarlet witch are much stronger than doctor strange, but ... is it tho ?

Director and writer are trying hard to give us the immense tension by killing most of the sorcerer in Kamar-Taj, this plot are hardly justificate wanda madness about wanting to be a mother in other universe.

She is not stupid, even when she is possessed by darkhold. She should still have a greater common sense about his action and the drawback to be other universe mother.

Even at the end, she is realized that in her possesses form. And that action destroy every madness she has been doing for this movie plot.

Sacrifice herself to destroy darkhold in every universe, is it really important ? Because that is not the major plot problem.

So in conclusion, picking scarlet witch as antagonist are not a desirable decision to make. Because she is MCU beloved character and she has been doing a great help for the MCU cinematic universe.

I hope the next Doctor Strange movie have a better antagonist choice,

P. S i love the dead sinister strange form, that form should be added to his mystic art option for him, and by that doctor strange would has a linking to a Death character aswell.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)

Something is under agreement

[9/10 · 28 April 2022]

The must been a lot of agreement under the movie release.

Whedon version are just a mess of production, and leave a lot of snyder scene to be put at whedon version.

I just glad that snyder version can be released, so justice league movie didn't leave a sour taste for all the fans.

Eternals (2021)

unnecessary overwhelming

[3/10 · 11 March 2022]

The eternal are immortal being, created by celestial arishem to protect human against deviant,

I tough this movie are just about eternal fighting deviant, but then I see this eternal having so much problem fighting these deviant.

I'm flabbergasted by this first, the story is jumping here and there, giving a bit of story for the eternal, with context that I quite didn't care.

In the end the purpose of those are just giving a little flick about their love story. Then again I don't care, these beings is immortal, having relationship for thousand year with each other is just overwhelming and can't connect with human capabilities.

Then the story introduce us with the end of the world cliché, we must gather again to solve this problem, then get revealed that the eternal are in love with this world, this is raising the problem about the cosmic continuity, eternal have to decide the future of the earth, the member has conflicting decision and they fight, and 1 of the deviant come in mid fight. Because why not.

Tbh, this movie is just too much for the introduction of eternal, I tough eternal will just fight deviant.

A Quiet Place Part II (2020)

waste of time, with no story development

[4/10 · 25 November 2021]

Human race in this universe are dumb, this alien are easy to handle, even after more than a year, there is no government squad to wipe this alien.

Shame.

Fantasy Island (2020)

Now i'm sure major critics is blind and can't be trusted. you need to see the movie your self.

[7/10 · 7 August 2020]

If you never see the series like me, because i'm from other country and never heard it. don't listen to critics they are blink with this one, and i'm sure for the majority of their critics can't be fully trusted,

you can watch the movie for couple of minutes and watch the movie your self if it's good or not, you can feel it.

and if you like mystery movie, you will absolutely like this one, not your A movie but still has a good one. you know people won't bother makes a review here, if the rating is definitely wrong, people will try to help it. and i'm one of them. it's not because i like anyone, actor and the team. it's because i appreciate the movie, and rating ruins it for people who hesitate to watch this movie.

Trust me you won't regret it. this is another 2 hour mystery movie and a good one. start watch this and help fix the rating.

Foxtrot Six (2019)

Worth to watch, but still in cluster Duck.

[5/10 · 10 March 2020]

Ok, indonesia are not native in english, not yet. you don't need to push a movie to have english dialogue to make it a better movie, it's never proofen. first film dialogue is so awkward, and they are a veteran actor in indonesia, how can this awkward accepted in screening.

This is not an intelligent movie, *An ex marine become congressman just follow random guy with smart pads to an alley that really close to an enemy base, and another people with gun undetected. *"you have 1 minute before they track us down" first of all, how can the military locate his place before, didn't they search if there is something in his body, and that's why they track the rabbit hole. *plot armor used, tie the protagonist, seal their mouth and make a position to shot them. "they must think this is good idea, but it's not. won't impress viewer, because, in the real situation, it's better to just shot them. i guess antagonist are not intelligent either"

last raid are great, but not great either it's a so-so, and the conclusion is not bad. but hey, it's still a progression for indonesia movie. and it's 5 Million budget is still low compared to Hollywood action movie. i think it's in B+ rate movie.

The Aeronauts (2019)

i just can't

[2/10 · 29 December 2019]

I tough the movie will be an interesting movie on how they go up and it's challenge to go down. and find what is interesting or some good script in the sky.

i don't even know the real story and never even known it(but lot's of people say it's a disgrace to the real person) hence the true event.

the story telling are sooo boring. which makes me just skip all the story in land. and just want to know about the difficulty in the air.(or maybe they should just focus on that)to makes this movie more interesting.

more or less i find it difficult to enjoy watching this movie.

Portals (2019)

this movie won't give you anything

[1/10 · 26 October 2019]

This is not how a movie works, there is has to be an ending, a conclusion of the story not just putting some random cinema. and what is all about the gore ? it's absolutely not on point for this kind of genre, i tough this is sci-fi it is not !! don't waste you're time for this movie. this is just a garbage.

Fractured (I) (2019)

this is very unrecommended movie ...

[5/10 · 18 October 2019]

It can be a great thriller and physiology movie, but the bad ending are just making me feels like i was wasting my whole time watching this movie. i'm sure i will not remember this movie and not to recommend this to my friends.

The 100: The Blood of Sanctum (2019) Season 6, Episode 13

things with anomaly is a bad approach in a good way

[5/10 · 10 August 2019]

It's a things that exist in this moon, and viewer will get more question from it, and as a typical series quality, it's a good approach to attract fans for another season. but i don't think we need more plot for this series and with "hope" coming from this anomaly as an adult, it's makes fans goes more in wild imagination, ea " time travel" or " octavia adventure in the anomaly and how long is it" why you have make more question. i guess we have to watch season 7.

The Gangster, the Cop, the Devil (2019)

Entertaining in the weird way

[9/10 · 9 July 2019]

There is a lot of plot that can be used in this kind of genre, but this writer has her own idea that is so unusual yet entertaining until the end, 100% won't regret watching this movie.

Escape Plan: The Extractors (2019)

not the franchise you hope for

[1/10 · 9 July 2019]

I should have know from trailer and title, that there is no ESCAPE PLAN in this movie, just you're generic bad ass movie, with bad plot and lazy writing ...

a lots of useless scene, useless death ... and drag it to fill the movie, absolutely a joke movie, much worst than a lot of similar plot movie, fighting is like yea yea yea hit the bad guy, the good guy will win the fight ... oh the good guy will get a lot of hit first .ofc ...

just pure B movie, wasting great actor

Rim of the World (2019)

lower you're expectation and watch the movie

[6/10 · 17 June 2019]

First, what would you expect from 4 kids doing a sci-fi alien infestation/invasion movie ... you will a joke. but if you had lower you're expectation from the start ... the movie can give you a good show, everything in the movie are 100% expected plot and story ... and they have good joke too, and CGI stuff are not that bad, it's better than those D movie sci-fi,

Us (II) (2019)

shrug in oblivion

[5/10 · 23 May 2019]

Overall it's a good movie for about less than half of the movie, but after that you will ask yourself if this is a good movie or a B movie ... and the shadow are ... omg i don't even want to describe them ... it's sooooo bad when you know why they are there ... lot's of plot holes in how this shadow even can live and how their system works.

The Drug King (2018)

predictable ending, with bad story line and decision attitude of main character

[4/10 · 19 April 2019]

Idk if this movie are from real story or not, and whole movie are 100% predictable. no suspense, no twist, just plain movie.

i don't know what the producer are trying to tell in this movie, and this is just pure waste of the great actor of korea. there is no way this movie can please movie goer. absolutely no need to watch this, you know what's going to happen for whole character in this movie.

Take Point (2018)

i pick a wrong day to watch this

[2/10 · 3 April 2019]

Just watch it, until 20 minutes mark,

OMFG the cameraman is so annoying, i feel nauseous. i'm writing this while i want to throw up, who the F, think that this camera works are good, FFS.

Glass (2019)

love this dark and blow minding movie.

[10/10 · 3 April 2019]

This is what a dark movie are. and not just some horror or mystery genre. but it's has a deep meaning. and the twist element are not just there and something that we want an answer, but it has an answer. dig you're imaginative mine more, if you can't digest what is in this movie all about. good luck, i will never read critics anymore, they are sucks.

Upgrade (2018)

doesn't even looks like a low budget movie

[10/10 · 2 April 2019]

The moment the kid asking, what would she want ? i realize the writer are not a joke, it's makes us imagine a lot's of things. normally in the same situation writer would make the kid explain a lot of things to persuade protagonist to accept the deal, but here he is giving him question.

and twisty twisty.

hands up to the writer,

The Unthinkable (2018)

pro and con are so transparent

[6/10 · 2 April 2019]

There is a lot of writing that makes me wonder why they did that, but maybe because they are crazy production team, that's why they make it that way, but they make the protagonist are so unlikable, and their mental are so questionable.

actually i can't said much about the gun fight, because we know that this is low budget movie, it's still considered good.

the twist on disaster level are quite good actually, they keep making us asking what is happening.

if you are disaster movie lover, you can skip a lot of things in this movie because the drama side are not the main part in this movie,

Time Jumpers (2018)

i have a great hunch !

[1/10 · 2 April 2019]

Ok, for this one, that has a good rating but kinda suspicious. i will go to imbd and see user review, and WOW 1 start ?? FFS

i have been saved this time.

Triple Threat (2019)

waste of cast for sure,

[3/10 · 27 March 2019]

Been waiting this movie for a long time, can't blame the cast or their act. all i can blame are director and writer, beside the fight that i think i will give 6 star, the story and the movie overall are 100% skip-able. they need to consider their job again. because this is bad movie,

i think you can just look up this movie fight in u-tube, and you can still happy about this movie.

Escape Plan 2: Hades (2018)

this is not the sequel i wish for

[2/10 · 23 March 2019]

Story is so hollow, i don't even have any prediction about how they escape, i just tough that they will escape somehow, i just don't any interest to predict it. more than half of the movie i just wish it to end faster. i didn't even wish stallone to fight in this movie, i just want a good escape plan, but there is no plan.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)

far from what i have expected.

[9/10 · 23 March 2019]

We watch the classic jumanji as a cluster chaos in human world, i watch this without watching trailer or any bit of info, because i know it would be a great movie even with the rock is there.

and this sequel is blow me up, the jumanji are evolving into isekai movie.

U Turn (I) (2018)

my expectation got u-turn

[7/10 · 22 March 2019]

I was expecting a human killer, but it was an entity. they should add horror in the genre, and it's thriller tag are not applied quite well.

but overall, it's a good film.

Alita: Battle Angel (2019)

best but 1 star missing

[9/10 · 10 March 2019]

Cliffhanger and weak story telling. i think they want to make sequel of it , but i think i just need a bit more story from this movie, lots of thing are unanswered.
