Awareness (2023)
Wow! Finally a great Sci-fi I knew nothing about...
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.
2149: The Aftermath (2016)
Wow! Great relatively unknown little flick
I wasn't expecting much of anything but ended up throughly enjoying it. Especially after going thru this pandemic, climate change and possible war with Russia this movie has very real world hypothetical scenarios that's not too far off base for the road we are currently on...and it was made well before anyone knew of any of those thing to come. The best part is that the director kept it grounded (quite literally) on earth instead of heading out to space to save humanity like most other sci-if disaster shows.
Sure, there are a lot of questions that go unanswered but i think that's a great little draw esp for a movie with i would have to assume had a small budget. It makes you think a bit more too about the why's and how's. Anyway, if you saw this before 2019 i would rewatch it again and replace war with pandemic and then you can relate a bit more and really feel the ending hit ya harder and breathe a little bit easier.
