CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

housebad TBH, If you just want to appreciate the movie because of Indonesia, just watch it and highly recommended "JUST ENJOY THE MOVIE!". But, if you want good Action, Adventure movie (as the genre said), you will be disappointed. Only CGI and 'fun factors' that you can enjoy 100%. But for the story? You can't expect too much from 'NEWBIE' director and writers.The staffs must be thanked to the watchers who knows the history about that year events especially the 'real' Battle of Surabaya incident itself, so at least they can tell something like "hmm.. this event, I know this", "hmm.. that soldier, I read about him".(1) This is just big filler, I was expecting, "is this a spin- off/side-story of 'Battle of Surabaya'?". (2) They make the existence of "Kipas Hitam" is pretty useless. (3) The treats given to Musa are so freaking low, not explain to much "why does Kipas Hitam want him?". I don't see anything that makes Musa is a big treat for "Kipas Hitam" there. (4) Some deaths are unreasonable, you never get the feeling when they passed away. (darn, except the Yunma's death! She dead for nothing, sacrifice her life for Musa? For what reason? Come on, she is a good girl! Don't waste her life even on movie!) The genre was 80% wrong, "Action, Adventure", but the actions are always *....* it should be "Drama, Comedy". Well, people say that "this is the start for Indonesia animation". Except they are really serious in this industry, they can 'gambling' make the 24 episodes TV series for this half- baked movie.

Mutia Nadyah Kurniati I will state the very obvious. The graphic is awesome. Right now, it has THE BEST 2D graphic among Indonesia's animation movie. The style is similar to Studio Ghibli's. In general, it's very beautiful. The graphic is 8.5 out of 10! But the graphic is not flawless. It lacked finer details. For example in most part of the movie, when someone got shot, the cloth was torn from the gunshot but it showed no blood. But later, the gunshots produce blood. *laughs* talk about consistency...The lack of consistency also presented in the sound mixing and in the dubbing. I notice that it used 'present' pattern of speech instead of the pattern of speech matched the 1945. Also, it barely used the correct dialect of the area where the story took place. And there was a Dutch family who speak English! And the British soldiers who didn't speak British English. But, the major downfall of this movie was the storyline. Instead of creating a conflict which was more realistic, cohesive and related to the Battle of Surabaya; they took the unnecessary effort of creating an imaginary 'secret organization' which no way has any place nor involvement in Indonesian history at 1945. I know it's a fictional movie but their take in 'fiction' is waaay out of the line. Because, seriously, ninja fight in Indonesia independent war at 1945??? And there was practically zero character development. I am so proud of that they manage such an eye-porn graphic, but they really truly need to improve a lot in storyline department. The graphic quality is practically the only thing worth praising in this movie.

Gede Putra Battle of Surabaya is a heroic movie that is heart felling, wonderful, and beautifully messaged at a same time. The storyline is enough, the animation is standard- sometimes going to be so artistic, but the morale and the coda inside the movie is one of the best aspects inside this movie.With no propaganda- this is a clean animated movie, with a lot of heroic statements and also heroic character building, which made us feel this movie is a natural sensation of movie-making.The background is beautiful, with "rough" animation in a lot of scenes; a huge minus for the movie. But it still heart felling, and also wonderful. The dialogue is quite raw, but its still beautifully messaged, with a great storyline, and of course the ending, will be a memorable message for every single audience who watched it.

Mudha Dan Pingki 1) 0 point for storyline, 2) 0 point for directing, 3) 0 point for screenplay, 4) 0 point for continuity, 5) 0 point for animating, 6) 0 point for casting, 7) 0 point for dubbing, 8) +1 point for sfx, 9) +1 point for graphics, 10) +1 point for technology supporting tools, & 11/bonus) +1 bonus point for respect. Here, i tried to review this movie as honest as possible..so this is it. I cannot pretend just because this one was made by my country persons. Well I'm not a big fan of film industrial politics in Indonesia anyway, since everything could be boosted with money here. Even we can buy honor, and reputation also. Last words, just watch on your own..and be honest on rating for our good. Thanks
