Awaken (I) (2012) User Reviews

A pretty interesting story with average acting.

I don't really have anything against this show, but it did seem a bit bland. It was interesting enough with the concept of the story, and the acting wasn't so bad, but I just didn't get the 'kick' out of it.

The characters felt a bit too directed, like "Here is a man and a woman. Now fall in love". But the back story did make it more believable.

I'm guessing the moral of this film is to believe in your dreams, and it was pretty cool how the film makers made it literal.

Don't really know what to say about this film. Interesting but bland.

"Your shirt looks like you have been sleeping wearing it"

I didn't expect a much but I got sucked in small doses. I even took a couple hours naps 'in a half' time :) Not a bad thing. There is a lot of dreaming in the movie! Movie reminds me from a TV-series Awake (Shame it ended just after one semester). Awaken also resembles to a movie called The Lake House (2006).

A smiling lady, Rachel (intriguing Jordan Ladd) is waiting to get in a coffee shop for her morning coffee and makes a toast with Alex, the keeper and owner of the place. (conscientious Corey Sevier) Clearly Rachel seems very keen of Alex but a little crestfallen Alex is coming from a slow and soon to be closed and sold out Coffee house and lacks a determination and carpe diem kind of mind set replying straight to Rachel's approach going to drinks..

Awaken is quite mellow and relaxed romantic story. But not at all a average or generic one. The plot is pretty and solidly flowing experience. Nothing irritating or too much underlined. Maybe a fraction compliant ending for my taste but I'm not complaining. I liked the story and this is quite fresh in a category of romantic movie or shall I dare to say fairy tail.

No question, it's a must see romance

A little odd and confusing in the beginning because it takes a while to develop, but once you understand what's going on, it's pretty powerful. There is great chemistry between Jordon Ladd and Corey Sevier. You will certainly want to watch this more than once.

This Should Make Everyone's Top 3 List (Romance Movies)

This is an epic and truly original movie. I still remember when it was first released and I had the opportunity to share my thoughts about it with the director. Six years later and it's still as moving as it was then. I won't list any spoilers for those who haven't already seen it. But, it'll bring tears to your eyes watching the journey from the end to the beginning. Sometimes love is momentary. Sometimes the moment is all you have. And, sometimes the moment can be everything. Watch this one with a loved one and enjoy it.

one of my top 5 movies of all times ..

one of the best and the most romantic movies I've seen in long years... its like a beautiful dream that you feel seriously sad that it had to end ... every thing is wonderful .. the music, the scenes, the story, the acting is brilliant and so innocent and heart touching specially from jordan ladd who really caught my heart and my tears fell when she had to leave .. great great movie by all the meaning of the word ... very cozy and warm to watch with your girlfriend if you have one both of you will never forget it, maybe surprise her one night and rent this movie trust me it will be a night to cherish for long years... for me i don't have a girlfriend so i had to watch it alone but still my night was very memorable... romantic people around should dig into this immediately its an experience of a life time... i don't want to get much into the story since the movie it self is very simple it should be watched it cant be told its like those scenes you memorize in your head from childhood days maybe or rainy winter nights that when you recall them randomly you get a smile on your face ..

thanks .

A Great romantic movie

[mansy2 · 10/10 · 14 April 2013]

Of course its 10/10. A wonderful movie with a perfect acting. the idea of the movie itself is great, which i was waiting for along time to see a movie just like that. Mixing romance with dreams is just WOW. I enjoyed this movie and you'll too. the story is about Alex who works for his own coffee shop and met a girl (Rachel) but she passed away in that day. But, when he had slept he dreamed abut her and he kept dreaming for the next 10 days making a great romantic story. He figured that she also dreamed about him the same dreams but in the past (2008). The ending is also great and i loved it. OK, watch the movie and you will enjoy it.
