In general, the script is strong, it can keep the audience watch up to 3 hours. Acting wise, the connection between Iqbaal and Ine is extraordinary; Kelly Tandiono's cameoship is nice, but Christian Sugiono's is a waste. Annelies' transition from weak to strong is not vey smooth. Suurhof character is underdeveloped. But overall it's enjoyable. Good Job!

Worth of your money and time
You read the book so what? The Earth of Mankind is a stunning movie. Excellent performances, great costumes and the soundtrack were just the best combination that lead to perfection of this brilliant movie which is based on book. Movies and Books are two completely different story, there is always - always- a disappointment in the end. So best is, to watch the movie, read the book. That is that. Show a little appreciation by supporting Indonesia film industry. Buy the ticket and watch! I would rate this film 8/10. There was Iwan Fals -the legend- voice on the backsound and it sums up everything. A- heart touching 3 hour movie.
Bad director, bad actor
Tried to understand and enjoy the film, but overall of the film was unpleasant. Watch it for 3 hours and it didn't worth the time. The acting of all actors (except Ine who played as Nyai) was terrible, especially Iqbal who played as Minke. The direction of every scene was really bad, the film fail to make audience feel the message of the writer. Change from one scene to another was not really smooth. There was a censored scene with a bad direction and make the audience will terrible.
