: c.H.A.p.T.e.R : Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa

hoho...Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa was a great movie...
i watch the movie last sunday and with high expectation
after all it doesn't disappointing me
.even though the ticket was costing me about RM 14....
weekend much higher than weekdays..
I'm very proud with kru for a good job on their CGI
in my opinion it was the best movie in term of epic movie..
the actor selection also great n i'm very impressive with khir rahman..
he did very good job and quality acting...


But some part of CGI and some story telling are not well...for the overall movie was still good..
this movie can be a platform of other director and producer to produce different types of movie....
i mean luar dari kepompong malay movie yang always produce movie cintan - cintan or lawak - lawak jer..
below was a bit synopsis of the movie
Based loosely on the 16th century historical document entitled ‘The Malay Annals’, ’The Chronicles of Merong Mahawangsa’ is an action-packed epic feature film, with mythical characters, magical moments and dazzling visual-effects sequences. Merong Mahawangsa was a descendant of Alexander the Great, a renowned naval captain and traveler who came to Asia several hundred years ago.
The year is 120 AD… a time when the Roman Empire is at the height of its power, during the reign of Hadrian – one of the Five Good Emperors. Meanwhile in China, the Han Dynasty is firmly cemented as the ruling empire and is expanding into Central Asia… one hundred years before the period of the Three Kingdoms. As the Roman fleet did their repairs and traded in Goa, they asked Merong Mahawangsa to escort a Roman prince to Southeast Asia, to wed a beautiful Chinese princess from the Han Dynasty. The Chinese princess and the Roman prince are supposed to meet halfway and be married on neutral grounds.
However, the pirate nation of Geruda had other plans. They decided to kidnap the Chinese princess and use her as ransom. En route to the Straits of Melaka, Merong Mahawangsa’s fleet was attacked by Geruda’s forces while stopping at a small island to replenish supplies.
Will Merong Mahawangsa be able to rescue the Princess and re-unite her with her betrothed in a marriage that is set to bring together two great civilizations from the East and West ?
