Clash of Empires- The Malay Chronicles: Bloodlines


Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa is a 2011 Malaysia film based on the 16th century document Hikayat merong mahawangsa. A Malaysian action film based on a real history huh, and finally a high budget movie came out from local film industry which can be filming over the world.

Truth be told, hardly had i watched a local movie in the cinema. Malay, Indian nor Chinese movie, as long as they're produced by local.
 I've a problem in speaking Malay(what a shame) as i was graduated from chinese private school, so it was quite a hard time for me to understanding what they're talking about in the movie when they're speaking malay. 

I'm not gonna lie, i'm not gonna compare this movie with hollywood movie, but this movie really impressed me as i never thought they could produce such a good visual effect and filming skill in a local industry. The action in the movie is good and the CG was okay but not brilliant. 

Now to the negative parts, the thing i don't like about the movie is most of the characters can speaks well in English with accent, like how? The princess's handmaid's acting skill really need a boost, she's acting badly in the movie and not comfortable to watch at all. 

I would give this movie a 5 out of 10, as i believe this movie will be a stepping stone for the produce to come out with a bigger and better movie, later.
