Awareness - A Realidade é uma Ilusão

Very high production value and budget for something this bad. You've seen every cliche before and you can guess them well in advance. In short, one of the most powerful mind screwer but he's just gunning for short cash robberies with his Dad as a small time outlaw. Makes no sense, and the script tries to sell our protagonist as a simple fish out of water. The "perceiver" is a dude in 70s glasses who makes a visible effort to have a brooding angry mug on his face, to the point where you wonder whether this really is a parody.

The acting is generally stilted and not very good. Part of it is just the terrible dialog. This may have been an Amazon production, which explains the money behind it and the generic paint by numbers script where it's clear that it's all about putting some 'cool scifi concept' on screen and the characters themselves are props. No background on any of them because the audience doesn't have to care. It's all about unlocking this mystery which is... in Warsaw. Why? Because obviously a production budget goes way further in Eastern Europe.

There is a scene where our hero is caught by a character and an encounter ensuses. Like the rest of this film, it makes little sense. And at that point, about halfway through, I was about ready to call it quits until I remembered I could just jump ahead... So...

On the bright side, going straight to video allows you to quickly skip ahead, if you actually care about what happens.

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.

It's been a while since I've been blown-away from a Sci-fi movie, esp a foreign one, on a streaming platform, that I just randomly picked. This has Jumper qualities that should've been a big Hollywood release as well because it is so much better! So I'm sure since that wasn't the case it was a bit shorter than what it could've been and left unanswered plot hole questions but i would assume too that was in order to leave plenty of room for a sequel and/or even a trilogy which i sure hope happens! It may seem a bit slow at first but once it gets going it doesn't stop. The twists & turns are great!!! I was left guessing who was what and to whom until the very end all while enjoying The Matrix like action. I'm glad Amazon Studios picked it up and can support the other 2 sequels esp since it seems like we are not getting a 2nd season of The Peripheral due to the strikes which is sad but this movie also had similar suspense to that show as well. This movie is one that should eventually be placed on a Top 20 list for sure.

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.
