Instead of adopting major international players’ one ‘offer-fits-all’ strategy, we at CATCHPLAY with years of experience and passion for content, believes and embraces the importance of individual market’s unique needs and preference of content. In 2015, CATCHPLAY established AsiaPlay Incorporated with the ambition to become Asia’s largest movie content service provider. Today, CATCHPLAY Media Holdings Group owns two distinct companies – CATCHPLAY Incorporated, and AsiaPlay Incorporated – with involvement from production, distribution, linear movie channel operation and both content aggregation and platform operation for digital entertainment services. This was followed by expanded partnerships with Telkomsel, Indosat and First Media, and in Singapore, collaboration with the market’s leading telecommunication operator, StarHub. In June 2016, the service platform launched in Indonesia, collaborating with market leaders IndiHome, Telkom Indonesia. In March 2016, the CATCHPLAY+ service platform made its pilot launch in Taiwan in partnerships with major telecommunication operators and device manufacturers. In addition to content aggregation, in 2015, CATCHPLAY established AsiaPlay Incorporated with the ambition of becoming the leading premium content service provider for movie lovers in Asia. Today, we are the largest provider for premium movie content in Taiwan, aggregating content from Hollywood studios including Disney, Warner Bros., NBC Universal and Paramount in addition to having a wide selection of international independent films and leading local productions for distribution on major operators’ digital platforms. Today, CATCHPLAY continues to look into investment and co-production opportunities internationally and in Asia targeting particularly Chinese-speaking territories and South East Asia following our recent expansion footprints.ĬATCHPLAY started placing significant emphasis on the development of digital movie content years before the others did in Taiwan. In the same year, CATCHPLAY also provided financing and local production support to director Martin Scorsese’s passion project Silence, making it the first international production filmed entirely in Taiwan. CATCHPLAY and partners also control exclusive distribution rights to these films in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong and Macau, with The Revenant generating outstanding box office results from these territories in 2016. In early 2015, we closed a partnership deal to invest in New Regency’s three enthralling titles, namely The Revenant, Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell, marking the first investment of a Taiwanese company in major Hollywood productions. Both investments generated considerable box office performance in Taiwan and China respectively. In the same year, we invested in the locally produced film, Paradise in Service and co-produced 20 Once Again with CJ Entertainment for the Chinese market. Did I mention this film was both savage and insane? Remove the first half, and it's perfection.but we can't so it shall get a decent rating instead.In 2014, in addition to distributing the movies CATCHPLAY loves, we embarked in earnest co-production and investment projects, venturing into content creation. Even the no nonsense dialogue was insanely savage. The use of blood and gore is ridiculously insane, great makeup effects. Some technical excellence from Evans, who performed such a great tracking shot that consists of going through 3 different cars in a chase scene. The action set pieces were creative, from decimating prisoners in mud to a frantic car chase in downtown Jakarta.majestic. Evidently, watching this is releasing my inner murderous personality. The choreography was perfection, I've never shouted "YEAH! STAB HIM!!" so much. The Indonesian Terminator from the predecessor has now been substituted by a hammer wielding deaf girl, a well aimed baseball bat wielding guy (who can kill by hitting baseballs with insane precision.) and the ultimate blade wielding badass since Blade himself. This, as an action film, is absolutely insane. So the long runtime and slow paced first half are my only complaints. Could've easily established the power hungry Uco, who has major daddy issues, in a solid 20 minutes as opposed to an hour. This did not need to be 150 minutes long, at all. I'll start with the negatives, the first half was an absolute drag. Massive props to Gareth Evans, I tip my SnapBack off to you sir! So in this sequel we follow our sole survivor, Rama, who must go undercover in order to protect his family from his new hardcore reputation that is making him popular in the criminal underworld. Martial arts have never looked this thrilling since.ever. Every kick, every punch and every head smash was filmed to absolute perfection. Ohhhhh myyyyyy lorddddd I couldn't keep me eyes off those fight scenes. The Raid 2 has the most insane choreography I've ever seen.
