Crappy film
This film is so bad that about 20 minutes into it I wanted to scratch my own eyeballs out. Utter utter drivel. I can't possibly convey enough just how bad this film is, it's almost like the actors improvised the whole thing. Well I say actors, I use that term very loosely. I actually can't believe the makers of this film persevered till its completion, they must have known what complete & utter shite they were about to serve up unto the poor unsuspecting public.I can't understand why no one had the sense of compassion to tell the director to cut their losses and abandon this wretched wreck of a... I don't know what. It's so awful you will cry yourself to sleep at night wondering why you just didn't press that stop button and save yourself from having this fowl stench of a movie burned into your mind forever more. Save yourself the tears, avoid this film at all costs!
This movie really is not bad, yeah this is my first review but on the contrary to more recent reviews, I enjoyed it. The actors did a good job and the story progressed as it should have, so I don't see a problem here. It made me think about what was really going on toward the end and I do enjoy plot twists in movies. To the actors and everyone who worked on this movie, I say keep on keeping on and expose more people to this movie. Honestly I would recommend Awakened to friends and family because I like to see things gain popularity and traction especially if some people feel differently. Like I said, great movie and would recommend to others.
My wife and I liked this movie. My wife was so moved at the end and she liked the depth and meaning. We will watch it again next weekend to try to catch any clues we may have missed. Hollywood should make more meaningful pictures like this. I am still not certain if the baby belongs to Lucas or Jack. But I like the food for thought aspect. We like to go out to dinner and talk about a movie after watching, and it is great when we can actually see a movie worth thinking about and talking about and watching for clues. We went to see a so-called blockbuster two weeks ago, a 20Million dollar film and it was so boring. Hollywood should think about more human, touching pictures like this one. We saw it on HULU for free and it was well worth it- even if we had to pay. Very fine acting.
This move was just so awkward to watch. The actors were terrible, you really noticed the actors read a script and the emotions were not realistic.The movie itself didn't really make much sense, you felt no connection to the characters and in the end you're sitting there thinking: "Okaaay, was this really a horror? Felt more like a bad comedy"I don't believe at all that most people that have given this movie good scores are for real. If you look at the most people that scored this high, you will see most of them are members since the same month they reviewed this movie and many of them have only given 1 movie reviews and scored 1 movie - guess what? Yeah exactly, this crappy movie.Don't waste your time on this "movie", I'm serious! You're gonna regret you gave this movie 2 hours of your life, when you could have watch paint dry instead - a lot more fun!
