It was yet another day of canceling my shoot in One Utama and to spend my time wisely, I went to watch Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa at 12.30pm at GSC, One Utama. I was attracted to watching this movie in the cinema after watching the trailer as I was surprised with the quality of this Malaysia-made film.
Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa - known as The Malay Chronicles: Bloodlines in the international cinemas tells a story of Merong Mahawangsa, allegedly a descendant of Alexander the Great and the foundation of Kedah. The journey sets of when Merong Mahawangsa escorts a Roman Prince from Goa to wed a Chinese princess during the 2nd century and later to face attacks from the Gerudas.
This is one of the very few Malaysia-made films that I've watched in the cinema. First of all, two thumbs up to the production of this film! *applauses* This film shows improvements in Malaysia's filmmaking industry especially with its acting, cinematography, special effects and music scoring. It was a great product at the end of a RM8million spending to make this movie.
I find that it was quite odd to have the characters speaking in English, especially with different slangs. But then again, it was a GREAT film by KRU and hopefully more of these will be made into films soon!
