Awake

DON'T EVEN TRY! WTF???? THE ENDING IS SHIT!

I'll give it 6.5 out of 10. Was a good story but it's severely underdeveloped. It feels too rushed. The scene with a group of * people being zombies is unnecessary because nothing explains why they would do that. Also, the soldiers randomly shooting each other is kind of crazy. I don't think if it is psychosis, it would just make everyone kill each other simultaneously... I suppose it was an easy escape to simply end the movie

اچھی فلم!

I did not like Bird Box (another NETFLIX apocalypse movie) and I certainly did not like this one. Apart from Gina Rodriguez's convincing performance (in the latter half) as an insomniac, there's nothing holding the film together. Characters lack motivation, scenes lack tension, the solution(s) to the film's core issues lack credibility. It's a shame because Awake has an intriguing premise. In the hands of a more capable writer-director, this could have turned out a lot better. Even the (occasionally dysfunctional) 'family' angle is poorly developed, which in turn, does away with the emotional connection between viewers and the protagonists. Jennifer Jason Leigh is completely wasted once again (after The Woman in the Window). Oh, and there's some unintentional humour too!

The next time there is global event that prevents anyone from sleeping.. just show this moving across all channels at once. Problem solved. The beginning started well enough.. the middle was slow and the less said about the end the better.

Did anyone read the script before they filmed it? Nothing in the "plot" makes sense; giant leaps of logic are made with no explanation. As a result, there's no tension, which is critical for a film like this. I suspect it's trying to be a cross between A Quiet Place and Bird Box, but it's more like a train wreck where the train is Thomas the Tank Engine hitting a lame duck and derailing. Give this film a miss and go watch grass grow or something.

There was no background to the problem. Lacking good cinematography. Although, it has an interesting story that nobody could sleep.
