MOVIE REVIEW: Arodan offers mediocre special effects unaided by muddled plotline

A shortcoming of many Nigerian films is the need for originality in their plot. There must be a Google Drive link where each time a producer wants to make a movie, they go there, watch the thousands of existing films, and select one to copy.

Arodan offers several layers that boast of suitable moral lessons, a line-up of some of your favourite Yourba actors, to an extent an impressive casting, costumes well suited for the period in which the film was set, and good locations. However, its storyline is negatively daunting, a flaw that isn’t aided by the poor CGI effects used in the film.The film introduces us to a tribe where it is implied that there are cannibals who are about to capture a woman.

When she thinks all hope is lost, a woman, Kukoyi, swoops in to save her. The woman reveals the reason behind her presence in the evil forest. She was kicked out of the village after the assassination of the former king many years ago. The death of her father created a power vacuum taken by a trusted aide. The trusted aide is bent on killing her, but she escapes and has been living in the forest since then.

Arodan also takes a different approach in its creative direction vis-a-vis location. The film takes viewers back to an era that offers huge nostalgia, especially for the older generations. Everything from the costumes to the props was spot on.With the success of films like Anikulapo and Elesin Oba, one would think Nollywood producers finally got the memo that it’s okay to make a non-English speaking film. Arodan tried to appeal to the masses by using the English language instead of your.
