As the opening movie for Jagat Sinema Bumilangit, Gundala will be the benchmark how next movie move. Directed by Joko Anwar (Satan Slave, Modus Anomali), the movie will be served as the origin of Gundala, a hero who get his power from lighting struck. Story began from little Sancaka, Gundala alter ego, play by Abimana Aryasatya (Warkop DKI Reborn, Haji Backpacker) how he struggled with his life
after lost his family and how the lighting always chase him since his
early years and continued develop to adult day when he can accept the
power of lighting. Tone in this film, especially at beginning similar
to horror movie with dark color dominated the screen but as film moving
forward more colors play begin to appear. Nothing really special about
the scoring or music, just completed the scene without overpowering a
scene. Camera plays also didn't to unique but still good enough, I like
how the camera following the fighting scene. Muzakki Ramdhan as young Sancaka act very well maybe one of the best in the film if not the best, Pengkor play by Bront Palarae
(Satan Slave) following later with his good sympathetic villain act
more like Vulture at Spider-Man: Homecoming who have strong background
for his purpose and Sancaka father take Uncle Ben role, with his quote. Another stand out for me is fighting choreography especially when Sancaka
fight thugs but sadly the quality weaken toward the end, and the last
fight is so bad added with bad editing, like the scene jumping randomly,
make it worse. I don't know why they force introduce many characters in the film mainly at the end of it, which is actually cool, but after disappointing last fight Gundala became forgotten because of it, even there're characters that previously at universe press conference was introduced as a hero in
the universe but appear as villain here, interesting how they will
bring the story. Will waiting for next movie, and how they will build
the next world.
