Upin & Ipin: Keris siamang tunggal (2019)
Good stepping stone for local animation industry
I'm very picky in terms of production quality of movies/TV series, and this one gets a passing grade from me. It's a vast step-up from previous iteration of Upin Ipin the movie and it is the best that the industry has to offer. It could be better, for instance the animation lacked realism, attention to detail is not there but for the budget, in my opinion they've done extremely well.
Audio on the other hand, left a lot to be desired. While the OSTs are great, voice/spatial arrangement is subpar. Voices get randomly moved from one channel to the other, the transition wasn't graceful at all and it was very disorienting. Some voice acting felt unnatural and lackluster. This is one aspect the local production has to improve a lot.
Story-wise, it was fun and engaging. No noticeable plot holes except for some references to Malay folktales which might affect story/character development for some people.
Overall, this film gives a satisfactory experience and gets a recommendation from me.
Hantu Kak Limah (2018)
Overrated af
Some people I know were raving this movie like it is one of the best movies ever made in Malaysian film industry, suggesting that I could be laughing my ass off throughout the whole movie due to its never-ending humor. I'm a sucker for comedy films, it is my favorite genre after all. Prior to watching the movie, I kept an open mind, expecting to have a great time in the cinema. Unfortunately it turned out to be one of the worst movies I've ever watched, right behind the absolute atrocious "Cinta Beruang". So many stupid jokes, most of the time it felt like you're being forced to have a laugh. It was cringe-worthy. The more I spend time watching it, the more it feels like I'm losing my brain cells. Absolutely a time waster, not recommended at all.
