अवेयरनेस

Awareness is a great idea and starts with a brilliant premises but diminishes as it unfolds. The story starts with a young boy protected by a father figure barely making it and stealing alcohol of all things. The father figure ultimately is drunk who they attempt to make us feel compassion for but did little to earn the title an actual father figure.

The most frustrating part of this movie is its potential, such a great idea wasted. The main character, Ian, we learn has an ability to alter perception and it attempting to evade an organization which is tracking him for this gift. Initially you have compassion for Ian but ultimately I found myself giving up on him as he comes across as a spoiled brat.

This is a movie of potential but ends with making bad choices and asking yourself, what was the point of the story? Seem the bad guys triumphed and the idiot kid who can project ideas into others was duped.

Storyline revolves around an innocent guy with an unknown past whose super-powered. Captured by perceived bad guys, he's aided by the usual pretty girl, and a suave guy from the shadows. Dear old Dad is a stereo-typed drunk who boasts advice, but ignored. And there's a naughty evil acting girl too. The plot is to find the secret to those super-powers, with lots of collateral damage in various battles. A few too many characters from a hundred different movies, but its one of those B-grade movies which plays out quite well, and well worth a watch, even if it is almost 2 hours.

As its becoming common with todays syfy movies, this one is a good concept, nothing new or too original, but entertaining enough to watch, and never too slow. Spanish in language, but fine with subtitles or dubbing if you're English speaking.

Once again yet another film that explains nothing to you as in subject matter or character background information, On top of that there is nobody you give a real damn about so, I found myself not caring what happened to anyone in the film. Both parties that are vying for control of the films main character are totally untrustworthy and very dislike-able and, the main character himself is just your typical youth, unthinking, rash and a petulant dipstick.

I think the directing of this film left a lot to be desired and the story (though a fairly good idea) just rambled about in an non thrilling meander. The only thing that was well presented, choreographed and enacted were the action/fight scenes.

This may have been a far more interesting film had a talent like Guillermo del Toro had been the director.

Awareness is a sci-fi movie that tries to be clever and original, but ends up being boring and predictable. The movie follows a teenager who can alter what others perceive. The movie promises to be a thrilling and mind-bending adventure, but it falls short on every aspect.

It has a weak plot, full of clichés, inconsistencies, and logical flaws. The movie starts with a dull and confusing introduction, that does not explain anything about Ian's abilities or motivations. The movie then proceeds to drag on with pointless scenes and dialogues, that do not advance the story or develop the characters. The movie also has some ridiculous twists and revelations, that make no sense and contradict what was shown before.

It also has a mediocre cast, with poor acting and chemistry. Most of cast is bland and unconvincing even annoying or wasted and forgettable.. Almost none is having any charisma.

The movie has some terrible visual effects and cinematography, that ruin the immersion and the suspense. The film tries to create a vivid and realistic world, but uses cheap and cheesy CGI, that look fake and cartoonish. The movie also uses shaky and blurry camera work, that make the action scenes hard to follow and enjoy.

Overall, 'Awareness' is a movie that will disappoint you and make you regret wasting your time and money. It is a low-quality sci-fi movie that does not deliver on its premise.

I give it 4 out of 10 stars.

Welcome to the other side. I didn't know anything about this movie but the basic description I read, made it sound like a sci-fi movie I would like.

You can tell right away that the movie wasn't going to win any awards, and you could tell that it didn't have a ton of money invested in it, but it had a very cool concept. The kid has the ability to make people see what he wants them to. He basically creates illusions that others people see.

The kid and his father figure partner decide to use this awesome ability to steal booze from a liquor store, but the kid loses concentration or something and the illusion dissolves before they get to far, and they have to run.

If I had this gift, I wouldn't be stealing booze, I'd be heading to Vegas or heading to a bank to cash this certified cheque for 10 million, etc.

Anyways, the movie was good enough to keep me watching, but it could have been so much better. It's been a week or so since I watched it, and I don't remember much about it. The evil company sent a "perceiver" after the kid, who is basically a guy that has the same ability as the kid, but is way more experienced at using his gifts than the kid. He kind of acts like the Terminator.

So to sum this up, the movie was just okay. They had a great idea, but they didn't do much with it. I just don't understand what's up with writers these days, but they all seem just terrible. Even when they are asked to do a remake of a movie, so they have the original movie to draw ideas from, they still create a shyt script.

It's definitely worth watching once though.
