Kami The Movie (2008)

KAMI THE MOVIE hits local cinema on first day of Raya, 1st October 2008. Since its not very wise to go to cinema during Raya, I’ve planned to watch it later in Penang. So check out my review.

Storyline

The storyline is great. It really focus and develop each characters. Most of the times, its hard for me to predict what will come next. Congratulation to the script writer, Fariza Azlina Isahak. I think this is the first movie that has escape convict (like Prison Break). Nas-T is really cool with all the stunts. Em maybe there’s a stuntman for that purpose.

Casting

This movie is a teenager movie and most of the characters are new comers in the industry. Despite being new, all of them are really good in acting. Sofie and Adii are cute too

Cinematography

Not bad. The fighting scene in the opening reminds me of Bourne Movies, as if the cameraman was also into the fight. By the way, I wonder what’s wrong with the video quality when Sofie give cupcakes to all her friends. The video looks like a handycam quality.

Issues

Now let’s get serious. Basically KAMI is a movie that shows a bunch of teenagers that believe in hedonism. They enjoy music by going to gigs and abuse drug to solve their problems. This movie also far from being Islamic. At least Lyn should teach Abu to say ‘syahadah’ before he died.

Censored
Teka-Teki ****. And another one is their original tagline, “Hidup ini memang palat, tapi esok masih ada” as mentioned by Abu. Abu is so stupid to come up with this quote. I know that life is sucks, but are you sure that you can live tomorrow? In the end, he died anyway.

Sequel
KAMI truly follows J-Drama style. They produce the series first, leave the final episode hanging and finally they come up with Special Episode or movie to end the series. I don’t think there will be any sequel. Maybe they will produce KAMI series for the second season.

Memories
Watching KAMI makes me reminiscing of my schooldays. I haven’t been to any gigs eventhough my classmates always discuss about it. I was a YM addict because I enjoy making friends and having blind date (like Adii did) few years back.

Overall, I’d give this movie a 3.5 star. Check out ProjekKami.com for more information about this movie.
