Pengertian Review Text

Mungkin sebagian orang pernah melihatnya bahkan pernah membuatnya. Review Text adalah salah satu dari jenis teks bahasa Inggris (genre) yang ditujukan untuk meninjau suatu karya baik berupa film, buku, benda dan lain sebagainya untuk mengetahui kualitas, kelebihan dan kekurangan yang dimiliki karya tersebut yang ditujukan untuk pembaca atau pendengar khalayak ramai.

Tujuan Komunikatif Review Text

Tujuan komunikatif dari Review Text adalah melakukan kritik terhadap peristiwa atau karya seni untuk pembaca atau pendengar khalayak ramai, misalnya film, pertunjukan, buku, dll.

Generic Structure Review Text

Setiap jenis teks bahasa Inggris (genre) memiliki ciri Generic Structure yang berbeda-beda sesuai dengan tujuan komunikatif yang akan disampaikan kepada pembaca. Dan untuk Generic Structure dari Review Text, terdapat 4 struktur kalimat, yaitu:

1. Introduction
Seperti jenis teks bahasa Inggris (genre) yang lainnya, pada paragraph pertama dari sebuah Review Text berisi tentang gambaran umum tentang sebuah karya atau benda yang akan ditinjau. Gambaran umum tentang karya atau benda tersebut bisa berupa nama, kegunaan, dan sebagainya.

2. Evaluation
Pada Generic Structure yang kedua, Evaluation, memberikan gambaran tentang detail suatu karya atau benda yang direview, bisa berupa bagian-bagian dari karya atau benda tersebut, keunikan dan kualitasnya. Tapi jangan terlalu memberikan banyak deskripsi tentang karya atau benda tersebut, karena teks review kita seakan-akan "mengajarkan" calon pembeli dan itu tidak bagus. Evaluasi karya atu benda sejauh yang dibutuhkan oleh pembeli adalah yang paling benar. Istilah yang digunakan dalam sturktur paragraph yang kedua ini tidak jauh dari kata "baik" atau "tidak" karya atau benda tersebut. Pada bagian evaluasi, biasanya terdiri lebih dari satu evaluasi.

3. Interpretation
Pada bagian ketiga ini, penulis memberikan pandangannya sendiri mengenai karaya atau benda yang direviewnya. Tentunya phase ini dilakukan setelah melakukan evaluasi yang cukup terhadap karya atau barang tersebut. Seringkali untuk mendukung dan memperkuat pandangan penulis mengenai karya atau benda yang direviewnya, penulis tersebut membandingkan karya atau benda tersebut dengan karya atau benda yang mirip. Pada phase ini juga penulis menuliskan di bagian apa karya atau benda tersebut bernilai atau di bagian apa karya atu benda tersebut kurang bernilai.

4. Summmary
Pada bagian ini, penulis memberikan kesimpulan kepada pembaca terhadap karya atau benda yang telah direviewnya. Setelah memberikan penjelasan di evaluasi dan pandangan penlis sendiri di interpretation, tibalah penulis memberikan komentar apakah karya atau benda yang direviewnya berharga atau tidak untuk calon pembeli.

Ciri Kebahasaan (Language Features)

Pada Review Text terdapat beberapa ciri kebahasaan seperti berikut ini:
1. Menggunakan present tense.
2. Banyak menggunakan adjective (kata sipat) seperti, bad, good, valuable, etc.
3. Sering menggunakan long clause (klausa panjang) dan kompleks.

Contoh Review Text

Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix

Orientation
I absolutely love the Harry Potter series, and all of the books will always hold a special place in my heart.

Evaluasi 1
I have to say that of all of the books, however, this was not my favorite.

Evaluasi 2
When the series began it was as much of a "feel good" experience as a huge mug of hot cocoa. The stories were bright, fast-paced, intriguing, and ultimately satisfying.

Interpretation
Order of the Phoenix is a different kind of book. In some instances this works...you feel a whole new level of intensity and excitement by the time you get to the end. I was truly moved by the last page. Other times the book just has a slightly dreary, depressing feel. The galloping pace of the other books has slowed to a trot here, and parts of it do seem long, as if we're reading all about Harry "just hanging out" instead of having his usual adventures. Reading in detail about Harry cleaning up an old house, for example - housekeeping is still housekeeping, magical or no, and I'm not very interested in doing it or reading about other people doing it.

A few other changes in this book - the "real" world comes much more in to play rather than the fantasy universe of the previous books, and Harry has apparently been taken off his meds. I know that he had a lot to be grumpy in this book, especially with being a teenager and all, but the sudden change in his character seemed too drastic. He goes from being a warm-hearted, considerate person to someone who will bite his best friend's heads off over nothing. It just seemed like it didn't fit with his character, like he turned into a walking cliché of the "angry teen" overnight.

Summary
The "real" story seemed to happen in the last 1/3 of the book, and this part I loved. I actually liked the ending (and yes, I cried!) as sad as it was. It packed a punch and it made me care about the story even more. Still a really good book, with some editing it would have been great.

Avatar is a 2009 American epic science fiction motion capture film written and directed by James Cameron, and starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, Joel David Moore, Giovanni Ribisi and Sigourney Weaver. Following the film's success, Cameron signed with 20th Century Fox to produce two sequels, making Avatar the first of a planned trilogy.

In Pandora, which is a Na'vi tribe living primitive animals are similar and have the ability as human beings.

Because humans can not breathe earth directly on the planet Pandora, then Jake was changed to a figure like a tribe of Na'vi in order to mingle. Jake also explore the planet Pandora, after meeting with a woman named tribe Na'vi Neytiri, Jake fell in love with her. Finally, Jake is faced with a confused where he must decide which side should be defended, as both a determinant of the fate of the earth and tribal Na'vi.

This most expensive film deserves be given 2 thumbs. The film "Avatar the Movie" by director James Cameron is inviting a lot of admiration from the audience. Avatar is a semi-real film, meaning that part using 3D animation. Although 3D animation in some scenes look cheap aka obviously animated, but I think it is not too disturbing film Avatar as a whole. With Avatar the Movie, James Cameron re-considered the king of the world's movies. After previously also rocked the audience emotionally with "Titanic" movie.

Is it a great movie? I think yes. It’s very amazing film I have ever seen. There are no major plot holes I could see. The technology is brilliant and used well, and the setting itself is gorgeous.
