Treasure in the Sky is made for the Gen Z
I have a question for the 10 million people who have watched this movie: it's been 1 hour and 10 minutes, and I haven't seen anything meaningful. There are too many long scenes that don't seem worth adding to the movie, with a bunch of students dealing with insecurity about their identities. While the producer highlights the pressures Gen Z faces in this generation, I can't help but notice many similarities to '13 Reasons Why.' It's hard to keep up with the story. How can characters start conversations with headphones on at 1 hour and 15 minutes? While the movie may resonate with most Gen Z viewers, it lacks direction.
Jidenna flirts with Peace, Amina, Kamsi, and Bella, highlighting the challenges faced by this generation. Many Gen Z individuals prioritize relationships over their futures, leading to struggles with depression as their expectations are tied to friendships rather than personal goals. While I admire the movie's shooting location, Mr. George's storyline is well-executed. However, I question the significance of the Promo night and whether Nigeria values such events for students attending school there.
At 2 hours and 48 minutes into 'Alfa Ifa Trip,' the revelation of stage four acute myeloid leukemia feels belated, with many scenes that could have been omitted to grasp life's basics: valuing people for who they are and cherishing time shared. Jidenna shines in his role, but the character's demise at 2 hours and 52 minutes felt abrupt. While the storyline deserves a 10/10, unnecessary scenes and gaps in performance lower the rating to 6.5/10. Nonetheless, the writer and director show promise, with room for improvement in timing."
