MY FUTURE YOU

My Future You (MMFF 2024)

Written & Directed by: Crisanto Aquino

With FranSeth being the leads, the main expectation is to feel the kilig. But what the movie presented is actually better than expected.

Rated G for a good reason, 𝘔𝘺 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶 offers something valuable and heartwarming for the whole family. Nonetheless, some words and themes may still need parental guidance.

Halos dalawang oras ang pelikula ngunit hindi ka maiinip. Sunod sunod ang mga impormasyon—at yung iba rito ay nakakatuwang malaman. Mabilis silang magkwento at maraming nangyayari kahit hindi kailangan.

May mga ginagawa sila para sa fan service kahit hindi ito angkop sa kanilang istorya. Pwede pa sanang paiksiin at tanggalin ang ilang eksena para mas gumanda pa ito.

Mahina ang pelikulang ito pagdating sa pagbuo ng loveteam. Hindi naipakita kung paano umusbong ang samahan ng dalawang bida. Biglang gumaan ang pakiramdam nila sa isa’t isa. May mas igaganda pa ang panimula at ang dulo ng kwento.

Francine Diaz and Seth Fedelin’s acting skills are neither bad nor good. It doesn’t look bad but it’s also not good enough to be a moving performance. There’s a big room for improvement.

The editing and vfx are generally fine. Sometimes, they can get excessive, losing the raw magic from the scenes. Cinematography is also decent, but the mood it brings is not consistent.

The musical scoring helps in highlighting the tenderness of the film. The lines may be cheesy, but they’re heartfelt.

The movie is at its best when it’s not trying to be romantic. When the scenes concentrate on the lives of the individual characters, that’s when it gets emotional and meaningful.

On that moment, 𝘔𝘺 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶 successfully found its heart outside the loveteam formula. May the future of romance movies learn a thing or two from this story.

Hindi lahat ng kilig ay nadadaan parati sa loveteam. Minsan, mas nakakakilig pa ang mensaheng dala nito. Dahil nilawakan nila ang kahulugan ng pagmamahal, nagkaroon ng ganda at saysay ang pelikulang ito.
