Humans lost their dragons after an evil creature named Drunn attacked and turned humans and dragons into piles of stone. But human life was saved by the last legendary dragon named Sisu who bequeathed a dragon jewel to humans.

500 years after the incident, humans separated from each other and made the land of the dragon which was formerly known as Kumandra separated and created 5 new countries, namely; Heart, Fang, Talon, Spine and Tail. The five regions fought each other to get the magic gem. Our main character, Raya is a princess and the guardian of the gem.

The incident began when Father Raya who aspired to reunite the land of Kumandra invited 5 state representatives to gather. Betrayal occurs and ends with the gem breaking into 5 pieces. The splitting of the dragon's magic makes Drunn's seal broken and again repeats the events 500 years ago, humans are turned to stone again. In the midst of this destruction, Raya travels to 5 countries in hopes of meeting the last dragon Sisu and once again saving the world from the threat of Drunn.

Detailed Visuals, Entertaining Story and Spectacular Comedy

Raya and the Last Dragon is a solid and very entertaining film. After the last disappointment with the live-action film Mulan , many viewers were satisfied with this film. Carrying the theme of Southeast Asia, Raya and the Last Dragon managed to stir local references including from Indonesia; Culture, culinary, buildings and geographical landscapes although there are some things that are adapted for the sake of the diversity of stories.

Raya and the Last Dragon also presents beautiful visuals with super detailed animations. Without a doubt, Disney wants to impress the audience, especially the people of Southeast Asia and are proud to be a part of the Disney universe. In addition to visuals, the story also feels flowing thanks to the neat scriptwriting. So exciting, the duration of 1 hour 40 feels less.

There are two interesting things in the film Raya and the Last Dragon . First, the fight scene that uses Southeast Asian native martial arts. We can see Namaari figures who use muay thai techniques from Thailand and Raya who uses pencak silat from Indonesia. We can also see that Raya's weapon looks like a dagger if we look at its shape.

Apart from that, another spectacular thing about this film is the comedy element. The interaction between Raya and Sisu, as the two main characters with the supporting characters, was very warm and funny. Awkwafina succeeded in playing the character of Sisu, a water dragon who is not only powerful but has a great sense of humor. Apart from the dialogue, the behavior of the baby and the three monkeys as well as captain Boun and Tuk Tuk are no less interesting. The comedy element in this film is also presented in a variety of unique ways aimed at making the audience laugh out loud.

Strong Message About 'Trust' Well Sent

It's not Disney if they don't convey a positive message in their animated films. If in the film Mulan they raised the theme of feminism and honor, then in Raya and the Last Dragon we were presented with the theme; trust or trust.

Yup. Basically this film is about betrayal where humans no longer trust each other. This happens in our social life these days. Society is very easily divided and pitted against each other because of a lack of trust in one another.

Throughout the film, the audience is exposed to various incidents of betrayal, which make the chest feel tight. The audience is led to believe that we can never again trust humans or other people. At the end of the story everything turns out to be wrong. In the end it is the belief in fellow human beings that saves the world and makes it a better place. This message of trust was successfully conveyed with a very touching and memorable happy ending .

Free Guy Movie Review: Suitable for Watching Real Gamers!

 Film fans in Indonesia are happy today. After being closed for a long time due to the Covid-19 case that did not improve, now cinemas in the country have begun to operate slowly. There are many films that are then shown in theaters. From superhero films to action films and dramas. Now, this time Popculture.id will write a review of the film Free Guy, which is still showing in theaters.

Free Guy is a film directed by Shawn Levy. The film, which tells the story of an alternative world, brought the famous actor Ryan Reynolds as the main star. It is not surprising that this film itself has strong references and attachments to Marvel superhero films. Apart from that, is this film worth watching? Is this film good enough and interesting? So, instead of lingering, let's take a look at the Popculture.id review below!

Neat Story

Free Guy itself tells the story of a banker in a city called Free City. The banker has a monotonous life every day. One time, he changed when he saw a woman who passed in front of him. From there, the story of a banker named Guy begins.

The story of this film is very unique and neat. Because, we get 2 different stories from different backgrounds. The figure of Guy, played by Ryan Reynold himself, exists in a game world called Free City . But there is another story beyond this, namely the players who play the game and also two independent game developers who are looking for evidence for the copyright theft case they are facing. The story sounds very complicated and complicated, but when you watch you will be amazed because this film can tell it very simply.

Because this film has two conflicts in different settings, the duration of 2 hours of this film feels very fast. There are no fillers or empty scenes made to fill the duration. Everything is related and conflict comes continuously until it reaches a climax at the end of the film. In short, this film is very good storytelling. Log Horizon or Sword Art Online anime fans will probably relate to this film. If I'm honest, this film is like the two anime in the live-action version .

Unique Game System Description

One of the interesting things offered by the Free Guy movie is the depiction of the game that is the background of the film. Yup, this film is very, very good at describing the game system in very detail, interesting and relatable to gamers. In short, this film accurately describes the atmosphere of an online game and the behaviors of the players who play it. A small child player who often speaks harshly, an unemployed person who is great at playing games to a gaming YouTuber. Everything is complete. Free Guy really pulls all the elements of online games in the real world and builds interesting stories from there. Wonderful!

In addition to discussing the game system, Free Guy also touched on the life and working climate of online game developers. We see how the workers are trying to keep the server stable. Workers who try to solve bugs and glitches to game masters who have to step in to deal with players who are destroying the game. It doesn't stop there, there are also conflicts from the lives of the game makers themselves. In short, the game as the main element is really put to good use.

The Visuals are Very Cool and Support the Story

The two points that we have discussed next are certainly very good advantages. Interestingly, these two things are supported by excellent visual execution and cinematography. Although it looks very much like a popcorn movie , but still the visuals are very good and look very, very realistic. Interestingly, the perspective of the player playing the game also gets a description where the game also has a different visual.

This visual execution, of course, we need to appreciate. It's not an easy thing to make a movie with a game setting. Maybe Free Guy is one of the films set in online games that has interesting visuals. The rest, online game themes are usually more familiar on anime platforms. The fact that visuals really support the story and depiction of online games makes Free Guy really worth watching. Moreover, there are many pop culture easter eggs that appear in this film. For example, Captain America's shield , Hulk's hand to Light Saber! Hahaha, so much fun!

So that's the review of the film Free Guy from Popculture.id. What do you think Popins? Are you interested in watching this Ryan Reynolds film? You can watch this film in theaters or buy it on the Amazon Prime site.

Army of The Thieves (2021) Film Review: Mediocre But Not Boring!

 Zack Snyder's Army of The Dead has become a topic of conversation among pop culture fans on social media. In this film, Zack tries to present a different zombie action film. Who would have thought, the film universe was expanding. After reviewing the first film, Popculture.id now has the opportunity to watch the spin-off film Army of The Thieves which will be released in 2021.

Army of The Thieves is a film directed and starring Matthias Schweighöfer. He returns to play the character of Ludwig Dieter, who is an expert safe-breaker. Briefly, this film tells the story of Ludwig's past and how he can go to the United States and join the army of death to break into the legendary vault of Götterdämmerung in zombie-infested Las Vegas. Is Army of The Thieves worth watching? Is the film good? Check out the Popculture.id version of the Army of The Thieves film review !

A Mediocre But Quite Interesting Robbery Story

When the release of the film Army of the Dead , many viewers and critics gave it a bad rating. According to critics, Zack Snyder's film is too long and boring. The only thing that is interesting is the zombie universe and the appearance of various unique zombies that you have never seen before in any zombie movie.

Unlike its predecessor film, this time Army of The Thieves presents a story that makes much more sense and is very interesting. As a spin-off film  , of course there are still zombie elements in this film, even if only a little. This film focuses more on the life of the character Ludwig Dieter aka Sebastian who is a safe breaker with extraordinary abilities. In this film, Ludwig joins a team of international robbers and plans to break into 3 legendary safes made by Hans Wagner.

In the process of breaking into the legendary and tight safe, of course there are many very exciting events. Starting from love drama, comedy and also a depiction of how the life of a safe burglar. With a duration of approximately two hours, this film densely provides the story of a robber that is very exciting, tense, funny and romantic. This film is far from boring because the story is indeed interesting.

Visual Details, Properties and Costumes are Total

Besides the story which is very interesting because it discusses the impossible robbery, the visuals in this film are also very supportive. The cinematography and the details of the pictures are so fluid and easy for us to follow. The editing and coloring are also very in line with the mood of the scene that this film wants to build itself. In addition, the costumes and makeup in this film are so total, especially for the character Gwendoline, played by Nathalie Emmanuel.

But of all that we have mentioned above, the thing that stands out the most from the film Army of The Thieves is the detailed depiction of the safe during the break-in process. We can see the lock mechanism in the safe in detail. When the main character Sebastian tries to break into a safe, it feels like we can feel how the safe works. These details are also more interesting with the story and history of each safe. Anyway, these three safes are a plus in itself. Moreover, the design of the safe is different and has its own uniqueness.

Less Explorative Character Background

Finally, we will discuss the shortcomings in this film. Actually this film would be very good if only the character development and background of the 5 robbers in “Army of the Thieves” were more exploratory. So in this film Ludwig is not the only person who took part in carrying out the robbery. Ludwig is the main character in charge and has the ability to break into safes. Then there is the character Gwendoline who is an expert in planning, undercover and direct theft ( pickpocketing) . Then the character of Rolph who is an expert in driving cars, Brad Cage who is an expert in fighting and finally Korina the legendary hacker.

Actually, these 5 characters can get enough of their respective stories. But somehow the director or scriptwriter only focuses on the story of Ludwig's character. Although there is a background for the other characters but it is minimal. If only this character development was maximized, maybe "Army of The Thieves" could be the best robbery film and different from similar films.

So that's the review of the Popculture.id version of the Army of The Thieves film. What do you think Popins? Are you interested in watching this film from Zack Snyder's "Army of The Dead" universe? If you're curious, you can watch it on Netflix right away !
