Mechamato Movie Review

Excellent in all aspects

As a prequel, those of us who may be new to BoBoiBoy will enjoy this animation. How come? This animation unexpectedly appears solid in various aspects, especially in terms of its very narrative mature, not too childish, but still able to insert humor and excitement in various scenes. Lots of spectators screening which is dominated by children can even laugh while enjoying a film whose duration reaches 2 hours. The duration is relatively long for an animated children’s film, but it is not boring at all and can even entertain adult audiences who are completely blind to this franchise. Even though it has Malay as the language of instruction, however subtitles Indonesian is also included for our audience.

Even if we compare it with the latest Indonesian animated films that have recently appeared on the big screen, Mechamato Movie far superior and it feels like our animation is still far behind from neighboring countries. Of course this is very unfortunate.

Mechamato Movie Conclusion

Mechamato Movie highly recommended Bumareview to be watched by all groups including adults, because of the story mature, the animation is also very dynamic, not too childish, and solid from start to finish, and manages to slip in a few easy-to-understand plot twists. For die-hard BoBoiBoy fans, this film is a must-watch. However, for fans of animated films, this film is very good to be used as reference material for other animations out there. Mechamato Movie will air simultaneously on March 1, 2023, so look forward to its presence soon. Don’t forget there is also one post credits scene which will make the BoBoiBoy fanboys jump for joy.
