couldnt hear anything, and Ian had unconscious and it made his friends panic and
predicted that he was died. After they fought with a great problems finally they can
reach the top of Mahameru Mountain, they flagged the Indonesians flag there.

Evaluation

I like this movie because it introduced each of the characters by taking unique
point of view, it makes the audience can feel the joy of the movie. Especially when
introducing Ian with his noodles and porn movies . The friendship between them is
filled with love story during their journey to Mahameru Mountain, it was so funny and
full of love.

Evaluative Summation
The movie was good and funny but the story is not too deep. Especially about
nationalism messages. The love story is not clear so the audience still confused and not
satisfied, because the movie is not full just like the novel. But this movie is worth to be
watched for relaxing and to open our mind about how beautiful is Indonesia.
