Interval block and action sequences pack a punch, delivering pure cinematic high.

[{"selector":"#anim-2960aa4e-cb99-4928-a6f6-728b3db19921","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.25001%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1184b190-a2e6-4b90-b41e-b23fd520b994","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-30cb52cb-d4fc-4556-9e9b-a4f9ffcc5337","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-418dbf60-cc07-4a55-bbc5-7076de54a8e4 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Vijay Deverakonda delivers one of his best performances—intense yet emotionally grounded.

[{"selector":"#anim-cd2e4a95-f0b4-45c0-ba2d-40e2f085d07f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.25001%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1d6038a3-7bce-4839-81c1-030407dfcde0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b2d9c412-5da3-4328-96cd-96e8a4b4a58c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-045a11f3-40c7-4a43-ae87-922919c532c2 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

A few scattered subplots slow the final act but don’t ruin the overall experience.

[{"selector":"#anim-684c8dd0-0c7f-4fa3-b5ef-44b12f302afd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.56251%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ae995590-a1f1-42b8-aa4d-827fa931f315","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-531c12e9-ef5a-403c-98ce-8aded17a4cd7","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0555610a-a213-4546-9242-ccce0c29e82d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-15.374816697958138%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Kingdom is a visual treat with heart, worth watching for its first half and solid making.

[{"selector":"#anim-9b1d34ee-eb12-466b-bcae-8a80bd8a7f3f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.56251%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-061299d6-a151-4375-b3f1-540bec7d679d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-03d070a9-0afe-4178-a874-48f52fdad22c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-775e1b7d-d456-47de-814c-469043af16ff [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(16.64065578430899%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]
