The Visual Quality of the Film 'MERAH PUTIH: ONE FOR ALL' is Described as Like 1980s Animation

Visual quality is one of the crucial elements in an animated film, but MERAH PUTIH: ONE FOR ALL, which has just been released, seems to present an anomaly. A group of viewers who watched it at XXI Kemang Village on Thursday (14/8/2025) provided harsh reviews regarding the film's graphic aspects, which are considered far from current standards.

When specifically asked about its visual quality, Rindra Danatara, one of the viewers, gave a surprising answer. He stated that the visuals of this film seemed to regress significantly, reminding him of the quality of animation decades ago. "Wow, wow, this is to celebrate Indonesia's 80 years, right? This animation is, but this is 1980 animation. Yes, the 80s means 1980," he said.

Billy, his friend, chimed in with a joke that further emphasized the criticism. According to him, the label "80" in the celebration of Indonesia's independence seems to refer to the 1980s in the context of this film's visuals. "Celebrating 80 years of 1980, that’s what it means," Billy quipped.

The audience also highlighted technical details that felt very raw and unfinished, such as the imperfect rendering process. According to them, many visual elements still looked rough and not final.

"There are so many renders like the hair that are still merging," said Rindra, which was immediately followed by Andre, "Loading, loading. There's still some rendering going on," he explained.

When asked to compare it with another local animated film that recently succeeded, JUMBO, they unanimously refused. According to Rindra, the two films are on completely different spectrums, making it unfair to compare them.

"No, it can't be done. As I said earlier, if Jumbo is animation, this is animism. Different, different, different. This is not apple to apple; it's like comparing an apple to a skyscraper. So it's very far apart," he explained.

Billy even brought this comparison to a more philosophical realm, stating that if JUMBO offers a watching experience, then this film presents a spiritual experience. He feels that watching this film actually brings him closer to God.

"If Jumbo is a watching experience, this is a spiritual experience. It brings us closer to God Almighty," said Billy.

Due to its uniqueness and quality that is hard to measure by general cinematic standards, Rindra admitted he could not give a rating. According to him, there are no technical aspects that can be evaluated from the film.

"I can't. 6.7 billion. Wow, that's tough, tough, tough. The reason I can't give a rating is that there are no aspects that can be assessed. It's hard for us to evaluate faith, right?" he concluded.
