(2026) Ebenezer - The Latest Adaptation of A Christmas Carol

This movie was already promoted in Coming Soon section of cinema websites for quite some time but somehow I was never interested. Not until few days ago I read the synopsis and only realized it was an interesting story that I have known for a while which made me intrigued. As I was busy when the film was released on Wednesday, I only got the chance to see it yesterday with my wife. All right then, let's get on with the movie.

Brief Story Line

Set in the 19th century England, Ebenezer Scrooge (Johnny Depp - Pirates of the Carribean's movies, Murder on the Orient Express etc) was a very stingy businessman who disliked Christmas. So when his nephew Fred (Sam Claflin - Lazarus mini series, Charlie's Angels 2019 etc) invited him for Christmas eve dinner with his wife Clara (Daisy Ridley - We Bury the Dead, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker etc), Ebenezer flatly rejected. He also turned away two people asking for donations to the poor. Ebenezer only had one employee named Bob Cratchit (Rupert Grint - Harry Potter movies, Knock at the Cabin etc) who had been working dilligently after Ebenezer's partner Jacob Marley (Ian McKellen - Beauty and the Beast live version, The Hobbit trilogy etc) passed away seven years before, though he was poorly treated and never even got a raise.

When I found out about this movie in the coming soon section of Netflix, I was intrigued and already set my eye on it. So once the film was available yesterday, I immediately gave it a try. Without further ado, here's more on the movie.

Brief Story Line

Putri (Callista Arum - Buku Harian Seorang Istri TV series, Perjanjian Setan etc) and her younger brother Dimas (Sulthan Hamonangan - Dilan 1983: Wo Ai Ni, Sebelum 7 Hari etc) were brought by their father Agus (Dennis Adhiswara - Milly & Mamet: Ini Bukan Cinta & Rangga, Perjanjian Gaib etc) to their grandfather's house in the secluded area in the mountains. Eyang (Lukman Sardi - Kabut Berduri, Kuasa Gelap etc) was actually hesitant to welcome his grandchildren but Agus convinced him it was only temporary.

(Mini Series) VisionQuest - The Interesting Story of Vision Dealing with the Aftermath of His Past Experience in Search of Humanity

After the first two episodes were released on October 13, I decided to start watching this mini series three days ago as I thought the finale would be released on Tuesday. Turned out the final episode was only available in Indonesia yesterday so it took me 3 days to finish the whole series. Anyway let us just get right on it.

Brief Story Line

After the events of WandaVision, Vision (Paul Bettany - A Knight's Tale, Margin Call etc) was now working at a pub in Edinburgh where he also lived there. He wanted to regain his humanity and was constantly in communication with the various AIs created by Tony Stark in his mindspace. To make it easier for him, Vision requested all those AIs to use human avatar, including JARVIS (James D'Arcy - Oppenheimer, Broadchurch TV series etc), FRIDAY (Orla Brady - The Foreigner, Into the Badlands TV series etc), EDITH (Emily Hampshire - Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, Schitt's Creek TV series etc) and even Ultron (James Spader - The Blacklist TV series, Mannequin etc).
