I’m a big sci‑fi fan, and lately I’ve been revisiting some of my favorites. I watched Travelers twice, and I’m gearing up to rewatch I, Robot. I recently saw an interview where someone mentioned Elon Musk predicting that by 2032, AI could take over most jobs and it instantly made me think of I, Robot and how close some of those themes feel now.

Good scifi is hard to make. I would recommend Battlestar Galactica, the 2004 version. Awesome show.

Currently watching Stargate SG-1 episodes on it.

An excellent classic TV series! Also, try Babylon 5 if you get a chance. Another classic of that period.

Soft power for Indonesian too, now many Indonesian movies are accessble world wide. I see Germany, Japan, Korean also produce good movies

Actually the movie list is not the same worldwide. What I see in Netflix and what you see are two different things. Netflix may have gotten the licensing rights to show Indonesian movies in Indonesia but not worldwide.

For instance you may see “Sewu Dino” in your search but others wouldn't.

Correct, it is based on what we want to see, but Indonesian movies are available world wide as well

Indonesian movies are also many available in other Western streamings other than Netflix

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia --

The Big 4, a film directed by Timo Tjahjanto, has achieved success both in Indonesia and globally. The action-comedy film has made it onto Netflix’s global Top 10 films list.

According to a report by Variety, The Big 4 ranked second among non-English-language films after being watched for more than 16.4 million hours during the period of Dec. 12–18, 2022.

God’s Crooked Lines occupied the top spot during the same period.

The Big 4 also made the Top 10 films list in 53 countries, including Argentina, Spain, Greece, South Korea, and Thailand. Meanwhile, the film ranked No. 1 in Indonesia.

Netflix Indonesia congratulated The Big 4 on its achievements in Indonesia and around the world.

“Just want to congratulate The Big 4 gang for immediately shooting to No. 1 among the most-watched films in Indonesia and No. 2 in the world. EXPLOSIVE!!!” the @NetflixID account wrote on Wednesday (Dec. 21).

During a press conference, Timo Tjahjanto explained why he combined comedy and action in The Big 4. He wanted to present comedy while still incorporating bloody action sequences, which have become a hallmark of Timo’s films.

Timo also acknowledged that his previous works have always been associated with a dark atmosphere. He said he had often heard such reactions from people around him.

“Some people have told me before, ‘Man, it’s crazy. Whenever you come out of a Timo film, you feel really down, like there’s no hope at all,’” Timo said.

“This time, I still want to have a high body count, but in the end, it’s full of hope,” he added.

The Big 4 is an Indonesian action-comedy film directed by Timo. It tells the story of four former assassins and a police officer who become involved in a mission to uncover a murder.

In addition to directing the film, Timo served as a producer alongside Wicky V. Olindo and co-wrote the screenplay with Johanna Wattimena.

The action film features a number of Indonesian actors, including Abimana Aryasatya, Arie Kriting, Lutesha, Kristo Immanuel, and Putri Marino.

The film also stars Marthino Lio, Michelle Tahalea, Willem Bevers, Andri Mashadi, Michael Kho, and Budi Ros.
