samistry:Cinemas down here dey ment sometimes bruh. This movie was an archetype straight to VOD release, them go carry put for primetime slot dey charge exorbitant fee fa. I have been done with anything "Hellboy" since the end of "The Golden Army". The last one in 2019, tanked critically and commercially so I don't know what strain of loud they were on, coming up with this. |

Hmm, interesting premise..... But the costumes, set, location and feel of the movie ain't it. Toyota Hilux vehicles for the military in 1993? See the camo worn by the soldiers sef, it looks very modern. Even that helicopter transport Mi-17 desert camo looks like something as recent as 2015. At least they seem to have had some sort of collabo with the military. Is this another vibes and insha'Allah project from Netflix Nollywood ?? Oyaskii come see your people. 😂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNJzWqKUlwM?si=KOI6bBKCtruhIYBU |

IngeniousLeez:Bruhhh... Nollywood stresses me out fr 😩. It's even Netflix i blame because, it's like they don't care about their rep here. How are they giving 100% creative keys to Nigerian Filmmakers who have shown gross incompetence in times past? If you are adapting a movie from an historical event, common sense should tell you that the props is the absolute thing you get right even if all other part is wrong. Well, you'd just know it's the most obvious 4/10 flick 🕊️🕊️😩...but i will still show up... pretty clear that this industry might never leave the trenches. |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Kaycee7(m): 4:49pm On Oct 10 |
oyaskii:Nah! I'll start taking this industry out of the trenches from 2035 |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by IngeniousLeez: 5:54pm On Oct 10 |
oyaskii: Lmao.... Nollywood never cease to amaze me. Props as you said is so damn important for a period piece. I wanted to also complain of the sniper rifle they used but just decided to keep quiet on that cos I'm not too good with identifying gun$. But that rifle ehn, I still dey doubt e existence for 93’. I just dey shake head. And like you said na NETFLIX I blame. They don't really care about the quality or authenticity. Their own na just to approve money and slap Netflix on it so they can keep growing in the market and competing with SHOWMAX. So anything goes. Imagine with Netflix blood money and they can't get ordinary props right. At least, the uniforms and probably rifles shouldn't even be a problem if they encounter challenges with the vehicles. You go just dey shake head and imagine whether this industry is even redeemable at all. |

pu7pl3: Wanted to watch this yesternight but decided to wait a bit for the new movie release. So it'll be a double feature. |

oyaskii:That's why I trust Hollywood adapting a Nigerian fictional story? They'd put more effort telling the story more than our incompetent movie producers |

IngeniousLeez:lol Netflix thinks, spamming Nigerian content, will get more people to subscribe here 😃. I can't even begin to count the reasons why this is counter productive, chief among them being, the damn economy dealing squarely with like 70% of the populace. Can't be thinking of Netflix sub when belly dey empty and other more important bills dey pile up fa 😩. Infact, active Netflix subscribers here is below 200k!. South Africa has like 70% of the total subscribers in sub Saharan africa, so I don't know why Netflix is not throwing their money there. Well, i have longed clocked that, "The Idea of being Nigerian" has a far more appealing allure, than "being Nigerian and actually living here".... people around the world love our content for some reason and it is very easy for Netflix to sell it. Kaycee7 say make we wait, say 2035, say him go change the industry....so fingers crossed 🤞🏿 and Inshallah 🙏🏿😁 1 Like |

Illusioneffect:Yes, I thought i yielded to this fact last week?. My only issue was that, I didn't want it 100% Hollywood, and they should do it in a way that doesn't take away the authenticity of the book. Of course I don't trust these Nigerian filmmakers to do a good job. |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Illusioneffect(m): 6:47pm On Oct 10 |
Nollywood in my opinion have two major problems - they're not willing to take risks esp risky stories and scripts and they're not creative enough to solve filmmaking problems. They'd rather recycle stories and add little bits to make it seem new when it's not. In this Hijack '93 - it's like that Apple 'Hijack' series with worst story telling |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Illusioneffect(m): 6:51pm On Oct 10 |
oyaskii:You're right. But I think it's growing fast. Let's see how it goes. Having Netflix here is like a necessity but in Nigeria some people see it as waste and some how it's true😂 |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by pu7pl3(m): 6:56pm On Oct 10 |
IngeniousLeez: Decided to see it now cos of the new one too...and it was really enjoyable even with the funny CGI. Keaton is goated. Be like that Joker money na for here I go spend am |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by pu7pl3(m): 6:58pm On Oct 10 |
Illusioneffect: it's actually a real story that happened in 1993. I dont have high hopes for this tho especially with this trailer. We go? We go! |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by pu7pl3(m): 7:00pm On Oct 10 |
oyaskii: wahala for people wey dey sub their Netflix cos of Naija content. Can never be me. But I thank God we have our own Nolan Regen coming up, @Kaycee7 I will be there 1 Like |

Illusioneffect:The industry is not set up for filmmakers to take risk, and do none conventional story telling. The few ones that have dared to make arthouse films here, have been appreciated by few of us who do care, but they failed to gained any critical or commercial traction in the industry. And Again, actual creatives that know what they are doing are not been let into writers room, directors chair or film sets here. The hyper conservative stance here also contributes. Meaning you can't tell stories against the ills of major tribes, can't tell stories about the ills of religion, can't properly tell stories about the political decay, let me not even talk about stories about alphabet people (which they very much exist here!), the filmmaker doing that will be burnt at the stake!. So the stories that are left to tell, are the crass, razz and cringe stories like this one. |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyaskii(m): 7:09pm On Oct 10 |
Illusioneffect:Growing fast una 😩. I know my people, Netflix basic sub of 2.2k is still a luxury here, and again the people aren't really used to the idea of paying for these things even before the economic downturn...told someone something ago, that i pay for Apple Music , and he looked at me like i was crazy, and said "when Naijaloaded dey" 😩 |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by IngeniousLeez: 8:14pm On Oct 10 |
pu7pl3: If no be say Beetlejuice 2 go soon release for VOD later this month, I for go use Joker money go watch am cos I really enjoyed the trailer wey I see. I dey target Venom 3 or probably The Wild Robot. |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Ishilove: 8:27pm On Oct 10 |
oyaskii:I have a whole bunch of them in Epub format. I can share them with you if you want |
| Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Ishilove: 8:57pm On Oct 10 |
The Invisibles: Deeply touching. The movie is a commentary on trauma and how people handle it differently. The Invisible Place is that limbo, that escapism humans indulge in as a coping mechanism against traumatic memories. Very, very deep. ☹️ |

oyaskii: 70% of the populace suffering ke?? You no talk 90-95% being fvvked. The extra 5% is for those that can relatively adapt and manoeuvre easily. These periods, I feel people in the entertainment spectrum are going to suffer the economic crunch, subscription VOD especially. Infact, active Netflix subscribers here is below 200k!. South Africa has like 70% of the total subscribers in sub Saharan africa, so I don't know why Netflix is not throwing their money there. Damn, so Netflix has 200k subs in naija? It looks even very large to me bruh. Yeah, I hear majority of the subs come from SA alone, then Egypt and a couple North Africans. Which source put our subs at that? It's impressive for me cos I feel Netflix being popular here na audio for social media or Twitter. Well, i have longed clocked that, "The Idea of being Nigerian" has a far more appealing allure, than "being Nigerian and actually living here".... people around the world love our content for some reason and it is very easy for Netflix to sell it. I sometimes wonder if they even make money in Nigerian market with their low sub prices in comparison to the spending spree they've been on for the past 5 yrs. Netflix being a very data analytics oriented streaming company would never invest in a project they deemed no potential net positive or leverage. Like you said, our content would mostly be appealing to people across the globe and most definitely our fellow diasporans abroad who want a feel of home. We have a large Diasporan community in that regard. And for some weird reason Nigerian entertainment popularity is growing globally. I always used to think its only our Afrobeats that portray Nigeria in good light and global recognition but lately I've been seeing many Africans growing up or fully entrenched in Nollywood on social media. We dey always yab our country people but it seems the African continent sees us in high regard and superiority in that aspect. Netflix is very data driven, so they must have a solid reason backed by hard facts which they see potential in Nigerian local investment. Even investing or marketing less than their main market in SA. A major reason I feel investing in Nigeria is sensible is that Nigeria remains the de facto Hub and King of African filmmaking. Our production rates even rival Hollywood and Bollywood. When anyone think of the African filmmaking industry, Nollywood is the face of the continent. The industry is still in early stages of reliable and advanced distribution market. So Netflix has a lot to gain in aiding that evolution. Also, Netflix having a reputation for loss making to gain market foothold lends credence to their continued support. Most likely in hopes that when the market fully begins to develop and mature, they'll be rightly well positioned to reap the bounty. 200mn-strong populace ain't no joke. No matter how anyone looks at it. They have a growth mindset. We have an army of 160mn mobile internet subscribers. If Netflix can capture just 10% of that subscriber base in the future, they're swimming in money. In fact, 1% of that number is 1.6mn strong subscribers. So our numbers is significant which SA can't replicate. They understand the pioneer advantage; which Netflix holds to most of its present day success to cos they were the first in the streaming industry. Subscription growth has been drying up in North America and lately Europe due to increased competition. So they're looking for alternative potential growth markets for the next era. So Africa is a big market being that it has limited to no competition in streaming. Ripe market for the plucking. Other streamers ain't looking at the continent as a significant market and Netflix is showing its foresight once again in betting first in Africa. When the region starts seeing the huge push from cable to streaming which will come inevitably cos everyone is fed up of DSTV and cable in general, then their investments starts to pay off exponentially. I always used to say DStv would suffer when Netflix and the rest looks our way. But it seems the company foresaw this and quickly adapted with SHOWMAX and funny enough its the top streaming service in Africa with NETFLIX being a close second. This highlights the need for understanding the local market and establishing yourself first. By the time other streamers has exhausted all growth frontiers and has no where to run to than the fledgling potential huge market in the African space, Netflix and Showmax would have entrenched themselves to the roots of the industry ans well positioned to fight off any competitor. DSTV primary market is South Africa, yet they can't do without the profitability that Nigeria gives them. Netflix would be looking at this. The numbers far favours us. And the streaming business is good-or-bad a numbers game. The only thing hindering or key to unlocking this huge market is access to cheap internet and reliable connectivity. Especially once unlimited data takes hold in Nigeria, mehn, streaming services are swimming in money. That's if they can stay in business when that time arrives. Kaycee7 say make we wait, say 2035, say him go change the industry....so fingers crossed 🤞🏿 and Inshallah 🙏🏿😁 Kaycee7, we dey await your masterpiece. When that time reach you fit contact me for collabo cos we gats change this industry by fire by force. Not by only online complaints. Our future Christopher Nolan. ✌🏽🙌🏽I just remembered how I saw this article of Amazon Prime Video epic failure in Africa/Nigeria despite pumping millions of funds in local content. 👇🏽 2 Likes
