The quality of movies coming from Indonesia is unmatched. The night comes for us, headshot, the raid movies, and now this! I know Im not the only one who went crazy seeing them fight john wick AND LIVE! Absolutely ruling action films with an iron fist. They don't even need Hollywood. But God damnit Hollywood, let them off the leash.

Just watched Troll last night and it was fantastic. Then this pops up in my feed. Netflix has been killing it with these acquisitions of foreign films. I've pretty much given up on Hollywood so it's good to see other countries pick up the slack.

Less Budget and Time than Previous Movies​

The Big 4 is an action comedy film starring Abimana Aryasatya, Putri Marino, Arie Kriting, Lutesha, Kristo Immanuel, Marthino Lio, Michelle Tahalea. Timo expressed his pride in the achievements of The Big 4 which he called a miracle.

"Very proud of this, with a much smaller budget than The Night Comes for Us, shorter preparations with a younger (but highly motivated) crew and non-martial arts trains... miracle happened," Timo wrote on Twitter on Wednesday, December 28, 2022.

The Night Comes for Us itself is a film directed by Timo Tjahjanto. The film premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 22, 2018 and began airing on Netflix October 19, 2018. The action film brings together two well-known Indonesian actors, Joe Taslim and Iko Uwais.

An Excellent Opener​

The Big 4 is a film from the Netflix Indonesia Time program (WNI) which was first released. The Big 4 received a lot of praise from filmmakers as well as a global audience. This film tells the story of the journey of a female detective named Dina, played by Putri Marino. Dina investigates the death of her father, Peter (Budi Ros) and follows her trail to a tropical island.

After discovering her father's true identity as the leader of a group of assassins, Antonio's (Marthino Lio) enemy pursuit forces Dina to work with her father's students. They are four former hitmen, namely Typhoon Si Leader (Abimana Aryasatya), Jenggo Si Sniper (Arie Kriting), Alpha Si Garang (Lutesha), and Pelor Si Bait (Kristo Immanuel).

Yup, not only Hollywood that can produce good quality movies. Yesterday I watch Italian movies and is really satisfied, just Today I watch Big Four in Netflix, it is still top 2 best Movies in Netflix. Basically the fight is awesome and the story is also good.

Other good Indonesian movies that can be watched in Netflix is Impetigor (Perempuan Tanah Jahanam), made by Joko Anwar, well-known for making horror type movies

Other Joko Anwar movie

Mencuri Raden Saleh is on Netflix since 5 January 2023. I watched the movie last night and it is second place world wide in Netflix.

 

[Indos]

At least another 2 Indonesian movies become top 10 when I watched Netflix in last Weekend. This time are Romantic movies. Even one of them become number one popular. Most probably because one of the actor played in Mencuri Raden Saleh, female foreigners look like have crush with one of the Indonesian men players here.

The Raid is too sadistic in my opinion. Indonesian action movie is getting better I would say, particularly starting this year. The flows of the scenes are getting better, not just merely relying on action scene like what we saw on the Raid.

These for example, still in Cinema, but I believe will be in Netflix few months from now

Indonesian video-on-demand films take world by storm​

A series of Netflix Originals is helping cinema from Southeast Asia’s largest nation win global appreciation.

Jakarta, Indonesia – When Netflix announced the exclusive production of seven Indonesian films and series in September 2022, few expected overnight success. But by the end of the year, the Big Four by Timo Tjahjanto, the first film in the series, had become one of the video-on-demand giant’s most-watched films not in the English language.

Tjahjanto’s first action-comedy amassed more than 16 million viewing hours and tells the story of Dina, a strait-laced detective. Looking for cues on the unsolved murder of her late father, she ends up on a remote tropical island, fighting for her life with the same group of down-on-their-luck secret assassins her father had once trained.

Blood-soaked and boasting the over-the-top action scenes for which Tjahjanto is renowned, The Big Four entered Netflix’s Top 10 in 53 countries, including Argentina, Mexico, Finland and Spain. In the United States, a notoriously hard-to-break market, it ranked fifth after making its debut on December 15.

“It is thrilling to witness how the story can resonate and travel the world,” Tjahjanto told Variety as the film became increasingly popular in December. His previous hardcore action flick, The Night Comes for Us (2018), was the first Netflix Original film ever made in Indonesia.

Sri Asih, Indonesian women superhero fiction movie, is already available in Disney + Hotstar

Actually many Indonesian movies are in Disney +Hotstar

 

[Indos]

Indonesian girl teenager superhero, new movie but likely to be streamed in either Netflix or Disney+Hotstar several months from its premier date in Indonesian Cinema (2 March 2023).

 

[Indos]

For romance movie, I would say Indonesian movie should be separated between adult and teenager movie

The Adulth Love story movie that is quite well known and available in Netflix is Ada Apa Dengan Cinta 2. It is the sequel from its first movie intended for teenager audience (Ada Apa Dengan Cinta).

For teenager audience

Korean squid games and soaps
K-pop
became global sensation
Same with Spanish bank heist series
Thanks to internet and streaming online like Netflix

But if you make your content for streaming services and know won't release in theatres
You can only make so much $$ on that content itself
.but it's more lucrative for the streaming service

As can use that content toget subscriptions

With rising streaming wars

Profits are declining Netflix cancelled many fan favourite shows
Even Disney got a net loss on its streaming services around 4 billion $$$
And that's with legacy content and new shows based on marvel starwars

Perhaps the golden age of TV is over

It helps the world become multipolar I guess, I mean not only in geopolitics that does happen but also in soft power.

Streaming Business is the future IMO, even HBO goes Streaming as well.

The same like printed media, all goes online.

TV is still needed for News, but slowly its audience is taken by online as well, particularly from Youtube.
