Critical response edit

Entertainment portal Tupai gives the film an overall rating of 3 out of 5 The portal's review applauds its cinematography that attempts to imitate the feel of the series it was based on, and the acting by the three lead actors were lauded for successfully moving the audience. On the other hand, the film's plot was criticized for seemingly unable to find a resolution, making for a "scattered" pay-off. The review also pointed out on the difficulty of audiences following the story without watching the preceding TV series. The use of computer generated imagery in some scenes were commented to be not handled well and a distraction to the audience.[1]
