Awake (2021) Netflix Movie Review
theres a brand new netflix original,movie did awake,keep me awake no i didnt like that one,lets try it again,theres a brand new netflix original,movie did awake,put me to sleep,[Applause],what is up netflix fans welcome back to,my channel on june 9th,awake drops on netflix i want to say,thank you to netflix for providing me,this screener were going to talk about,it,no spoilers in this review so after a,mysterious global event wipes out all,electronics and takes away,humankinds ability to sleep chaos,ensues but,jill an ex-soldier with a troubled past,may hold the key to a cure,in the form of her own daughter starring,jennifer jason lee gina rodriguez as our,main character of jill and her daughter,played by,ariana greenblatt who plays matilda,and this is one of those movies you,immediately think of like,a quiet place a bird box this,post-apocalyptic,madness but it almost feels like stay,with me on this because not a lot of,people like this movie,it almost feels like the happening,because theres this mysterious thing,thats,happening to where everyone cant go,to sleep except for maybe one or two,individuals and one of those individuals,is gina rodriguezs daughter,in this film so she is doing her best to,keep her safe but not only that kind of,prepare her for the future,uh because without sleep for so long,eventually,people will start to die but before that,they slowly begin to lose,their minds and once word gets out that,there is,a person or people that have the ability,to sleep,when no one else is able to sleep well,chaos ensues,it gets a little crazy and this movie um,it has a very interesting concept and i,wont lie the first five to ten minutes,i was sitting there going okay,awake kind of has me intrigued im,interested to see where they go,it starts out with a car crash it starts,out really intense and it had those,thriller vibes that you want in a movie,like this and,you know everybodys brain is going to,go to bird box because thats kind of,this,netflix genre launching point,the post-apocalyptic ask or at least,were getting there in this film,type of film and again with this concept,you know its going to take a lot to,make it uninteresting,unfortunately my problem with this movie,is,after the first well even say the first,act it just kind of,stays level instead of amplifying that,intensity and it ends up being,uninteresting,at the end of the day a lot of that has,to do with where we go in the third act,and how it just kind of,ends with little to no answers and not,that a film like this has to answer all,of my questions,im fine with being open-ended on a lot,of these things,and i really appreciate the small-scale,attempt thats what a quiet place brings,us were focused on the family were,really,not worried as much about how it all,began and what not but,in a wake not only do they not answer,that question,but they dont really give us any,information outside of the here and now,and that even,has to do with the backstories of these,characters you know,we know a little bit about jill thanks,to the beginning of this film,but i didnt personally know enough or,learn enough to,understand her mentality during certain,situations you get it shes a mother,trying to protect her daughter at all,costs and again when people start to,learn about this ability they are after,matilda,absolutely um and thats the part that,we get but theres also some things,about her past she used to be addicted,to drugs and,uh she comes from a very interesting,place and we get shades of that,um but we dont get enough there and we,really dont get enough,when it comes to her relationship with,her kids especially her son,um to really impact us during those,moments that,could have otherwise been really nailing,the emotion and thats one thing i,missed in this movie now,thats not to say awake is all bad again,interesting concept gina rodriguez is,genuinely great here she is compelling i,would love to see her,be the lead in more movies like this she,was great in a movie like annihilation,so shes been here before,in this kind of film but man i really,really dug her performance,and honestly her daughters as well not,every performance,was great there were some that were very,lackluster uh but those two,were solid certain elements you know,when people i mean myself and clue when,i dont get a lot of sleep well,i dont really sleep that much but when,i dont get the proper amount of sleep,that i personally require,i can get a little bit cranky imagine,going three,four five days without sleep being,unable to sleep and so you can imagine,people are beginning to lose their minds,now i will say,our characters our group here they will,bring in someone,or encounter something that just feels,random and the implications never really,carry over into the next scene,one in particular where they encounter a,group of people as theyre driving down,the road,it happens it becomes a really overly,violent scene and im okay with that,because again,i was looking for that intensity it was,there during that moment but then it,just kind of,ends and they never mention it again and,im thinking,was that just there to give us a little,bit of intensity because you understand,that this story,has really been struggling with that or,was there more of a purpose there that,just wasnt explained,either way its just not a scene that,meant,as much as it could have been and then,the entirety of the third,act well its been long enough people,are really starting to lose their minds,my favorite part was when someone thinks,i think it was a pine cone,was a grenade and they just yeah it gets,a little weird but,understandably you know people havent,had their sleep,but everything that happens just kind of,happens,and then the movie ends in a way that,answers one question but never really,provides us with,anything else and we are left kind of,scratching our heads,going okay unless we do a sequel here,um which i dont know is going to happen,i dont really think they,did that much to give us a satisfying,conclusion the end for me,was a big misfire and overall awake,is a film that attempts to stand out but,the dull screenplay unfortunately gets,in the way of the movie finding any,success so before i give you guys my,score thank you so much for watching,this video if you like,streaming reviews were talking all,things streaming every single weekend,drop that thumbs up down below and,comment your thoughts im gonna go 40,with the wake you know its not a movie,that fully delivered,um on a really interesting idea and an,idea that we can all relate to,because all of us have went without,sleep for a while,but just imagine going to the extent,that they went to,but again when it comes to all of the,apocalyptic questions that i have i,didnt really get my answers so,awake is just one of those movies that,didnt quite provide me with everything,i was looking for but,i would love to know your thoughts if,you agree disagree all of that is,welcome in the comments down below and,stay tuned,plenty more reviews to come okay guys,ill see you later
Awake (2021) Netflix Movie Review
talk about a miserable experience not,being able to nap,thats the stuff of nightmares right,there the new netflix movie awake,shows us the horrors of what happens,when you dont get a little shut-eye,after a sudden global event wipes out,all electronics and takes away,humankinds ability to sleep,chaos quickly begins to consume the,world only jill an ex-soldier with a,troubled past,may hold the key to a cure in the form,of her own daughter,the question is can jill safely deliver,her daughter,and save the world before she herself,loses her mind,gina rodriguez stars in this as jill the,ex-soldier and mom of the little girl,who may hold the key to survival,the movie doesnt waste too much time,thrusting us into the story,we get a tiny bit of character,development on jill before just,all heck breaks loose as the event that,causes the chaos happens,we dont really know whats going on or,what the cause is,i mean i could argue that the cause,itself isnt terribly important,but i do think it could be interesting,events unravel very quickly as people,just arent able to sleep its briefly,mentioned that the symptoms for sleep,deprivation,are accelerating but theres not really,any reason why,so its mostly just a plot convenience,they throw in to get the action,and the story moving along faster now,along with rodriguez the movie also,stars ariana greenblatt who you may,recognize,as young gamora from infinity war but it,also features jennifer jason lee,as well as shamir anderson and that guy,was most recently in the netflix movie,stowaway,he was my favorite part of that movie so,it was great to see him again in this,something that i really liked is that,one of the symptoms of sleep deprivation,is confusion and incoherence,so as the movie goes along our,characters become very,unreliable narrators sometimes we are,looking through their eyes and seeing,from their perspective,but is whats happening really happening,i love the idea that were taking along,for a ride,and stuff gets more and more confusing,from their point of view,there also came some times where i found,it oddly humorous now im sure it wasnt,intended to be but the characters are,walking around and kind of just,mumbling to each other like just,everybody is stoned out of their minds,so the conversation felt like we have,two,sky-high people asking who had the,ding-dongs,and each muttering nonsense in reply but,then accepting it,as the appropriate answer now the,visuals were kind of cool at times,like i had mentioned we see the,perspective of the characters,and as they get more and more tired the,world starts to go wrong and distorted,and i like the view that were shown,light and images bend and warp and it,really does cause a sense of confusion,now actors did a good job of playing,spaced out and sleep deprived characters,i mean i was impressed at how they were,able to create urgency in their actions,without being rushed their processing is,slowing way down,so their decisions are labored and,confused and they made me feel the,pressure while kind of going in slow,motion,but even with that everything in the,story feels rushed,like i said we dont really have any,character development the story just,thrusts us into the action so we have to,either accept it and go with it,or we turn it off and there are only,slight lines of dialogue to kind of hint,at character backstories,and because we dont get good,development the characters are flat,they lack the depth required to really,become invested in their outcomes now,the race against time does make sense,and it does feel right,but the end goal just doesnt feel as,earned even the ending was just kind of,okay to me,we have a serious build up of tension,and anxiety,with a building intensity that was,really exciting,and then theres a decision poof were,at the conclusion then,and the dialogue seemed to skip over,some parts that could have been brief,interactions or even explanations,which would lead the characters through,a certain thought process,or to a conclusion but because it,doesnt include the necessary,info the characters feel like theyre,just magically coming up with these,ideas,that shouldnt come naturally like they,did now this is only 96 minutes long and,i wish they would have taken some more,time,to build out details of the characters,and the storyline,i mean the tension and urgency were,entertaining and exciting,but the story just lacked a lot of,consequence because what was at stake,seemed futile or at least implausible,and the race against time,especially as mental acuity is declining,along with,society it makes for an exciting watch,but once its over,its just not memorable so this really,is a 50 50 type watch for me,i like the characters and loved the,rising anxiety as the clock ticked,and our players declined but because the,story was pretty shallow and we dont,have a ton of reason,to care about our characters it makes,this a mixed bag,so if you want to watch something that,is a little fun fairly tense with some,pretty decent action sequences,but you dont mind it being lackluster,in the story development area,and you dont mind if it doesnt stick,with you once the credits roll,this isnt a terrible way to spend an,hour and a half i mean there are,certainly worse things you could be,watching,but then again there are also better,ones too theres no sex,some nudity a lot of profanity and some,crazy brutal violence,i give awake two and a half out of five,couches,so do you nap i mean i find it funny,that as parents,we spent so much time fighting to get,our kids to nap,and now that theyre grown they totally,appreciate a midday snooze,naps truly are wasted on the very young,right,so are you watching anything good right,now let me know in the comments below,if you enjoyed this review please give,it a like also dont forget to share and,subscribe,im chris this is movies and munchies,thanks for couching with me,what youre still here the movies over,go home

AWAKE Ending Explained! This Movie Is…
when im not out teaching my daughter,how to siphon gas im at home watching,yet another netflix post-apocalyptic,original trying to imitate the success,of bird box,remember the cloverfield paradox io,cadaver,i am mother arc black summer tribes of,europa,the silence well you get what i mean,awake is netflixs latest horror,thriller which asks the question can i,stay awake watching this movie,luckily i did and i got you covered with,a full ending explain some cool details,you missed along the way and will even,poke a little fun because there are some,ridiculous parts in this movie now come,along and sleep with me platonically of,course and make sure to like and,subscribe im so close to that 400k goal,and every bit helps,now this video will be a bit different,than my usual ones i began,it as an ending explain but then it got,so absurd i just had to dunk on it so,im gonna attempt to do,both awake starts just like it ends with,an image of space and thats because,this whole sleep event or should i say,non-sleep event is the cause of a solar,flare messing with our internal clocks,making humanity unable to sleep,and it makes sense this has something to,do with electromagnetism seeing as,all electronics have fried including,vehicles its only when these vehicles,are jump-started that they can,work again at detail these super crazy,smart scientists have seemingly,overlooked in their journey to find a,cure,in our first shot of the film what,appears to be a star gets closer and,closer to the camera but its actually a,satellite crashing to earth a result of,this solar flare,all the shooting stars those are,satellites noah,its here we meet jill our storys,protagonist she got a job as a campus,security guard through her old friend dr,murphy played by jennifer jason lee,coincidentally jennifer and gina,rodriguez also starred in 2018s,annihilation the two characters know,each other from their time working in,the u.s military where jill aided dr,murphy in conducting sleep deprivation,torture on u.s,enemies although never explained in the,film this may have been what caused,jills addiction to drugs that combined,with the death of her husband,only briefly mentioned in one line in,the entire film,jill was court-ordered to give up,custody of her children to her,mother-in-law,doris who is the evil mom from titanic,will the lifeboats be seated according,to class,she secretly steals expired drugs from,the campus science lab and gives them to,a drug dealer named greg,jill picks up her kids from grandmas,and gives her daughter a book about,dinosaurs we briefly see a page,depicting how birds evolved from,velociraptors in fact matilda jills,daughter is seen carrying books about,birds throughout the film and birdie,is even her nickname not sleeping birdie,only my dad called me that matilda like,the dinosaurs will have to find a way to,survive in order to evolve in this way,matilda is like the bird in this analogy,having found a way to carry on in a,world thats going extinct,things really start to kick off when,jills car malfunctions and crashes into,a nearby lake a result of this solar,flare wreaking havoc,jill and her son noah ironically named,after the biblical character who saves,the last of humanity in a giant arc,emerged from the water to find matilda,being resuscitated by a local sheriff,because matilda was dead and brought,back to life it essentially,reset her allowing her to sleep while,others cannot in order to get stitched,up they traveled to the va hospital,where even the coma patients have,awakened although with the inability to,function as normal with everyone,partying in the streets since the,powers out greg asks jill for more,pills hell even double the price,so she does what any mom would do and,ventures out in the middle of the night,for some sweet sweet drugs,her mission is cut short however when dr,murphy barges in with the military on,their way to a place called the hub,a science lab where the worlds only,sleeper is being held,one of the things i didnt really like,about this section of the movie was how,fast everything went its only been,about 12 hours since the event yet the,military has already started making this,hub,learned about the sleeper brought her,there and know that everyone will die,due to a lack of sleep it felt way too,much like an exposition dump that they,tried to mask by saying,everything is accelerated symptoms are,appearing two to three times quicker,so jill fearing that the world is slowly,going to hell decides to pick up her,kids and head to the hub,only thing is her daughter is with doris,at a church where its members are going,completely insane,we should sacrifice her no yeah its,been one day without sleep at this point,and theyre already talking about,killing a young girl what church are,these guys going to,in storms brian whos related to dr,murphy telling them that matilda has to,be taken to the hub and theyre like,we should sacrifice her no no hes,actually shot by one of the cops,in the commotion jill is able to rescue,her children and they take off leaving,grandma,yes sorry grandma youre getting the,boot your grandmother can run in okay,she has a condition,yet the majority of the film takes place,in a car its pretty weird that kids,never mention grandma after this or,mourn her which is strange considering,she was,a big part of their lives but this is,the kind of thing that happens when you,put plot over character so where do you,go when you need a ride the drug dealer,of course,and hes dead these two other dealers,have killed him although theyve been,able to get a couple cars working one,which jill is able to steal and while,matilda and noah are waiting for the,ride,matilda out of the blue asks noah if,hes had sex with his girlfriend,do you guys ever do it i found this,conversation,so strange since it doesnt have,anything to do with the plot and,especially considering an hour ago she,was almost killed by a group of insane,church people this would not be on the,top of my things to discuss,so our fam heads off and of course,decides to stop by a vicious accident,where jill finds the victims to be those,drug dealers from the auto shop but,whats really important here is this,badge in fact this badge will be the,item that allows matilda to link her,death and resurrection,with the ability to sleep matilda first,sees it on the sheriff the sheriff is,killed by the drug dealer who takes it,the drug dealer is kid and then jill,takes it,its never explained why she takes it it,serves no purpose to her,but i guess the writers needed some way,to eventually get that badge to the hub,while searching for a map to take them,to the hub their car is stolen as a,group of scary-ass inmates descend upon,the town,but their carjacker has a change of,heart and ends up coming back to save,them and jill shows her appreciation for,being saved by immediately holding him,at gunpoint this is dodge and we dont,get much of a backstory on him why he,was in jail or why he decided to come,back,jill doesnt like it when he swears,around matilda because shes just a kid,shes a kid and they do all sorts of kid,things together like siphon gas,shoot books teach a 10 year old how to,drive and telling her she has to grow up,quick because everyone except her will,be dead in a few days,they eventually do make it to the hub,where jill decides to go in alone and,check things out and thank goodness the,guards are saying the code out loud so,jill can sneak her way inside and no one,seems to notice shes not supposed to be,there when she puts on a white lab coat,but hey they might be so out of it from,the lack of sleep theyre just not with,it jill finds out that the sleeper this,old woman here has been held against her,will and has been treated like a science,experiment a fate that matilda would,likely experience,should she be found dr katz here even,experiments on chimpanzees apparently,the only other animal to have this,sleeping problem meanwhile dodge is,captured alongside matilda and n

I Found THE WORST Movie On Netflix | Awake Review
this is 90 minutes that im never gonna,get back,[Music],hello i just saw the new netflix film,awake,starring gina rodriguez,and uh so to summarize awake is about,a random event that occurs,where all the electricity in the world,is completely shut off,and the byproduct of this for some,reason,is that after that nobody can sleep,anymore,or theyll die they fall asleep,[Music],i know what youre thinking yes that,sounds like a pretty terrible premise,for a movie that you shouldnt watch and,youd be right,i this is 90 minutes that im never,gonna get back uh there are only two,people,in this universe who can still sleep,after this weird,no electricity thing and one of them,is a completely random arbitrary,character with no real significance of,the plot,and the other one is gina rodriguezs,daughter,so very convenient thank goodness there,was a second person i dont want to be,overly negative here on this channel so,were going to start with some of the,positives,about this movie gina rodriguez is,really good shes a really good actor in,some,scenes in this film seems like maybe,shes over acting a little bit but,some of that is sort of on the director,who you know could,could always stop the scene and adjust,where things are going but,whatever overall shes really good,overall her her daughter and her,son in this film uh which were pretty,much the only characters,aside from some other ones who arent,really ever that important,uh theyre all really good so from a,performance perspective,a great job doing your,job you could say that there is another,silver lining here,there are a couple of action sequences,in this film,one at the very beginning where they are,drowning in a car,and another one actually they all take,place in cars another one is where,theyre trying to get away from some,people,those are great and its like i dont,know what happened,because these two scenes are shot so,well,that they almost seem completely,unrelated,to whoever else was in charge of the,rest of this movie,because it almost seemed impossible to,watch those scenes and go,yeah lets make sure we only do this,twice because theyre so well done that,you,think they would want more of the movie,to look,like those scenes the way those scenes,are directed theyre chaotic,and theyre frantic and they give you a,lot of anxiety as theyre happening and,thats great,unfortunately thats uh thats kind of,where the compliments end,this movie is a complete dumpster fire,that has no idea,what it is what it wants to be or where,its going and its,frustrating because when it wants to be,really good,and make you anxious it does,unfortunately,it doesnt do that very often one of the,big problems with,a story whose inciting incident is,something so mysterious,is that youve got to have an answer,i believe and i saw this with a movie a,while ago on netflix named cam of some,horror film,or some a.i was like creating uh,you know other versions of people sorry,to spoil the whole movie if you hadnt,seen it,but what came about in that film is that,it was clear they had a good idea,for what would start a movie and then,they just,had no answer as to why it was happening,and uh,you know i guess minor spoilers for the,12 people including myself who are going,to watch,awake um thats sort of what happened,here,they had an inciting incident that was,mysterious and even the characters are,like we dont know why this is happening,and then they just dont explain it,ever like the movie ends,and we still have no idea why any of,this is happening,uh yeah its disappointing its really,this is a you know,i tried not to look at the reviews until,the move is over because,this movie is really boring,and some of the dialogue,is just who is writing this,what is the tone that they think theyre,going for because its not working,whatever it is aside from the fact that,jane should have picked michael,i dont know i dont know whats going,on with gina rodriguez in some of these,movies,she was in miss bala chelsea didnt do,very well shes trying to to do like,action stuff it seems or,i dont know just more dramatic she was,great jane the virgin she was great and,jane the virgin,and i dont know if were experiencing,like uh this is sort of what dwayne the,rock johnson had to do where he took all,these crappy movies,until they started giving him real,movies to be and maybe thats what shes,doing,maybe her agent is saying look this,movie sucks,its going to be bad whether or not,youre in it so,take the part take the money build up,your your film cred,and well take it from there i can i i,pray,that gina rodriguez has better overall,judgment,in projects than this because awake is,bad this is a film that will waste your,time nothing happens in this movie,until maybe 10 minutes left like,actually nothing like,nothing relevant nothing necessary you,could have cut out,probably a good 50 minutes of this 90,minute running time,and so maybe they had a short film and,they just tried to stretch it out,i dont know this is bad this is a bad,movie and its too bad because like,the trailer was intriguing and it seemed,like they had something but,beyond the first 10 minutes of the movie,they have,no idea where this is supposed to be,headed they dont have a statement,theyre making,there is theres nothing here,[Music]
