Dreams Awake (2011)
1/10
Seriously Low-budget Garbage
15 December 2011
A girl with an inexplicably large chip on her shoulder and a rotten attitude to match, a geeky boy who could pass for solid oak in the wooden-acting stakes, a totally nonsensical story line, gobbledegook dialog, atrocious camera work, utterly inexplicable goings on, with, of all things, a ninja hobo popping in and out of scenes that is reminiscent of a demented Toshiro Mifune on methamphetamine.

The storyline for this offal says "A family drama... a mystical adventure... intense possibilities of the human spirit... magical lore... reality and illusions... life and immortality." Well, truth be told, it's not about any of those things, not by a long shot. But it gets worse. It isn't actually possible to say what this poor excuse for a movie is about, period.

It is beyond all reasonable comprehension to understand how on earth this disjointed rubbish managed to get rated above 2, let alone how it got it's current 7.8. Honestly, with this absolute drivel rating so high on IMDb, I'm inclined to suspect that nefarious doings may have been perpetrated to fudge the numbers; Voting manipulation on a scale to match a Russian election.

Give this complete and utter trash a wide berth. There's more "family drama", "mystical adventure", "intense possibilities of the human spirit", "magical lore", "life" and "immortality" in an I Love Lucy re-run.

1 out of 10, and that's only because the system won't let me rate this effluent any lower.
