To All the Boys: Always and Forever (2021)
TO ALL THE BOYS: ALWAYS AND FOREVER
We've reached the final chapter of LJ + PK's love story but in the bottom of my heart there's a silent voice screaming for more.
Admit it or not 'To All The Boys: Always and Forever' is just a simple romance film about a couple holding on the fear of LDR relationship failure however, the way how they explored that simple story is very impressive. They take a vast scope to explore the story: a story about dreams and how this dreams affect their relationship.
Pros and Cons
We are on the final chapter but the feel-good aura we felt since the first installment was still there as well as the comedic charm of the lead actress. 'To All The Boys: Always and Forever' served a countless praise worthy elements that makes the film more immersive and fascinating to watch. First, likable characters. Every character knew how to react on certain things without the need of being exaggerated and forceful just to make the scene interesting. Second, healthy relationship. LJ and PK's relationship isn't your cheesy type of couple who always going below the belt. They both knew how to build each other up.
Aside from those remarks 'To All The Boys: Always and Forever' has a aesthetic and fascinating visuals. From the hand-drawn settings in Korea to the colorful Lara Jean's room makes the viewing experience more eye-catching.
We've reached the final chapter but their love story that started from love letters to real life couple will remain memorable. Always and Forever.
Magikland (2020)
I do appreciate their efforts in making this film more fantastic and visually-captivating but sorry not sorry everything is look cartoonish.
First of all 'Magikland' didn't grow well on me. CGI needs a little improvement and why do they feel the need of displaying CGI fight scene? That's completely hilarious. Moreover, the acting was a bit uncooked. I felt like the lead cast don't have authentic and genuine connection with each other. It could've been better if they put a little enthusiasm on what they're doing. Lastly, they focused more of visual effects and backburned the film's story. 'Magikland' was kinda ripoff of 'Ready Player One' but less on visual impact and relevancy of story.
It's kinda terrible film but atleast they tried to stepped out and make something different and that's the biggest achievement of 'Magikland'
