Troll
Plot
Saat raksasa itu muncul dari kedalaman Gunung Dovre, ia mendatangkan malapetaka pada lanskap, meninggalkan kehancuran dan kekacauan. Rakyat Norwegia dicengkeram ketakutan saat mereka mengetahui bahwa tujuan makhluk itu adalah ibu kota itu sendiri. Di tengah kepanikan, seorang gadis muda bernama Anne terpaksa menghadapi kematiannya sendiri ketika dia menemukan bahwa para troll bukanlah monster tanpa pikiran, melainkan makhluk kuno yang mencari pembalasan terhadap umat manusia atas kesalahan masa lalu. Saat pasukan troll berbaris menuju Oslo, negara itu berada di ambang kehancuran. Dalam upaya untuk membendung gelombang kehancuran, muncullah sekelompok pahlawan yang tidak mungkin: Paman Anne yang eksentrik, Harry; sahabatnya, Peter; dan seorang asing misterius bernama Olaf. Bersama-sama, mereka memulai pencarian berbahaya untuk mencapai sarang troll dan bernegosiasi dengan pemimpinnya, Raja Troll yang menakutkan. Saat mereka menggali lebih dalam ke jantung Gunung Dovre, kelompok itu menemukan bahwa para troll bukanlah hanya binatang buas tanpa pikiran, melainkan makhluk kuno dengan budaya, adat, dan motivasi mereka sendiri. Anne, khususnya, menjalin hubungan dengan putri Raja Troll, Giselle, yang berbagi keinginannya untuk perdamaian dan hidup berdampingan. Saat ketegangan meningkat dan nasib Norwegia tergantung dengan genting, Anne dan rekan-rekannya harus menghadapi prasangka dan bias mereka sendiri untuk menjalin aliansi yang tidak mungkin dengan para troll. Dengan ibu kota di ambang diserbu, mereka harus bekerja sama untuk menemukan cara menghentikan kehancuran dan memulihkan harmoni antara manusia dan troll. Dalam petualangan mendebarkan ini, "Troll" mengeksplorasi tema-tema identitas, komunitas, dan kekuatan pemahaman dalam menghadapi kesulitan. Dengan efek visual yang memukau, karakter yang mudah diingat, dan alur cerita yang mencekam, film ini pasti akan memikat penonton dari segala usia.
Ulasan
Nina
Hilarious! It's your standard monster movie playbook. From the plot points to the visual design, it's all so familiar. This template is tough to innovate on. The only thing that's kind of interesting is the troll itself, drawn from Norse folklore. Overall, it's like a Nordic-themed McDonald's. Unexpectedly, the special effects are pretty decent (last time I saw a troll was in that 2010 mockumentary, *Trollhunter*). Ha! The end credits song is, of course, "In the Hall of the Mountain King" from Peer Gynt! (Indian people applaud!)

Okay, here's the translation focusing on the key aspects you've highlighted: "The troll itself is almost secondary – it's really a symbol. What's more interesting is the film's focus on female characters, particularly their prominent roles within the government response. It emphasizes a science-based approach, prioritizing reason and logic in the face of the extraordinary. Visually, the film is clean and polished – from the environments to the characters themselves. Ultimately, it offers a detailed look at how a developed nation might grapple with a crisis of this magnitude, highlighting the complexities and necessary procedures."

The plot is cliché from start to finish: a mystery is uncovered in an unknown land, scientists are urgently summoned, the scientists clash, then the scientists' theories are proven correct, a search for someone in the know, clues sought within mythology, an insider throwing obstacles in the way, hackers causing havoc, the original sin that started it all is found, politicians want to unleash a massacre, and a peaceful resolution is reached at the last second. #Every plot point is a copy from past movies# More could have been explored about the origin of the troll, giving it a greater sense of historical weight.

An environmental film, I initially anticipated a modern-day fairy tale. However, the ending felt overly contrived. Committing to either a completely dark conclusion or a thorough redemption could have been far more impactful. Instead, the film first threatens destruction, then pivots to rescue, ultimately depicting the troll trapped and killed by natural sunlight. This reeks of an agenda of having it both ways, aiming to kill the beast while simultaneously evading judgment for doing so. It's frustratingly anthropocentric.

Deep beneath the Earth's surface, an ancient terror stirs, unleashing chaos upon the world. Troll, a Norwegian disaster film, brings the legend to life as a gigantic creature awakens from its 1,000-year slumber, rampaging across the country, leaving destruction in its wake. As the monster hurtles towards the capital, a team of brave individuals must band together to stop the beast and save their homeland from impending doom.
