Part of the Satria Dewa Cinematic Universe, Satria Dewa GatotKaca will premiere in Malaysian cinemas on 18 August 2022. It features a superhero equipped with awesome magical armour. It will be distributed by Horizon Film Entertainment.

The synopsis reads:

Realizing that he’s the lineal descendant of Gatotkaca from Pandawa family, Satrio must fight his way to unlock the power lies inside him and face Aswatama, the remaining Kurawa warrior who lives on to destroy the world by changing the history of Bharatayudha.

Recently, our friends from BuzzPopTV (Nik Nadzru Iskandar) watched the movie at its gala premiere in June 2022 and here are their thoughts:

“Satria Dewa Gatotkaca is an entertaining film that will attract many fans who love Marvel films. It also has an easy-to-understand plot filled with vibrant action and comedy.”

Back in 2019, Gundala (which is part of the Bumilangit Cinematic Universe) showed in Malaysian cinemas, and as a comic book fan, I found it to be a great but flawed superhero movie with its own merits (check out my review here). The superhero genre is definitely booming with potential in Indonesia. I just hope that Malaysia follows suit one day with our own superhero movies we can actually be proud of (maybe that Keluang Man movie will finally change things for the better).
