Sounds (2008)
Faked out by title!
This movie was retitled "Not Another Sci-fi Movie" and thinking it was like most of the other "Not Another..." films, I looked forward to busting a gut laughing. I was duped!!!
This was probably made for about 785 bucks and some change. I was about 30 minutes or so into the movie before I chuckled. There were less than 6 funny moments, mildly funny. I have seen some other reviews which lauded the comedy contained, but it was very basic and non-cerebral. There was some "Airplane"-type banter, but nothing memorable.
The effects were surprisingly good, as was the soundtrack, but the acting was pretty weak. The story had potential, I think the low budget highly affect the end product.
The lighting was awful. There was very little parody and I was a little sad I had took the time to watch it.
Awake (2021)
Good flick!
I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. The acting was good, with the young Miss. Greenblatt's performance being the highlight.
My only critique would be about how quickly everyone seemed to be losing their minds. It seemed almost instantaneous.
Not really sure why most seem to dump on the ending. I had it figured out as soon as Noah was "gutting the fish", but I was still sitting at attention till the very end.
Is there a part 2 in the wings? I hope so.
