SPOILER ALERT!
This review contains plot details from Sore: Istri dari Masa Depan. If you haven’t watched the film yet and want to experience it without spoilers, it’s best to read this afterward.
I’d like to share a few thoughts on the film Sore: Istri dari Masa Depan. Overall, this movie delivers an engaging experience, especially in terms of its visuals and the atmosphere it creates throughout.
Visuals and Cinematography
From start to finish, the visuals are absolutely stunning. The color palette is easy on the eyes, the cinematography is polished, and the overall mood fits perfectly with the story’s tone. I noticed Agung Hapsah’s name in the post-credit scenes, and that immediately made sense. His touch clearly played a role in the film’s solid visual and editing quality.
One interesting detail: during production, they weren’t able to capture the aurora borealis (northern lights) on camera. But through clever editing, the team still managed to present a breathtaking result. Visually, it was impressive.
Music and Sound
Another highlight is the soundtrack. The main theme by Barasuara, Terbuang dalam Waktu, is deeply moving. The lyrics are meaningful, and the layered sounds are rich and immersive. Luckily, the audio quality in the cinema was excellent, so I was able to enjoy the music fully and appreciate its impact on the storytelling.
Story and Acting
As for the plot, some of you might feel it shares a similar vibe with Kimi no Na wa, though this is a live action version with a more local flavor. Still, there are many differences in execution and emotional tone. The cast really delivered strong performances, I personally felt emotionally pulled into the story thanks to how well the characters expressed themselves.
Weak Points
There is, however, one part I found a bit tiring: the bedroom scene, which lasts for about an hour. The dialogue during this part becomes quite repetitive, and for someone like me who gets bored easily, it was a bit of a drag. But if you can get through that portion, the rest of the film remains emotionally rich and engaging.
Takeaway Messages
The film offers several meaningful lessons:
- Sometimes, we just can’t change what was meant to happen.
- Behind countless failures, there’s always a valuable lesson waiting.
- Whatever you’re feeling, it’s better to speak up. Bottling things up only weighs you down. Be honest, it makes life feel lighter and easier to live.
Conclusion
This film is a great choice for anyone who loves romantic fantasy dramas that are touching and thought-provoking. Overall, Sore: Istri dari Masa Depan is definitely worth watching in 2025.
