I don't know if it is a glitch or a goof but for the hero Yuda, there is no change of clothing from almost the beginning to the end. Makes it a bit implausible since the whole movie takes the span of several days. Still I was mesmerized by the plot and action. I especially like the photography. I have never been to Jakarta but the movie showcased truly scenic and panoramic views of beauty. Music was great as well. Also I don't normally watch foreign movies with subtitles because it is always hard to look at the picture while reading dialogue. But as an exception, the last good one I saw was "Pan's Labyrinth". Merantau is equal to it but at some points even more exciting.
