There are some standout scenes here, but for some reason, this never felt like a stand-alone film. It's more like an extended pilot of a series that never materialized. I can't pinpoint exactly what made me get that impression, because the budget was there, and Awareness is cinematic enough. Perhaps it's because everything felt a bit rushed and incomplete.
The performances are solid, the sci-fi designs are pretty cool, and the action scenes are on point. I didn't care so much for the back story, and the villain's a little too cheesy, but it's a film that kept me entertained. There are no obvious weak points, and it's perfectly fine genre filler, I just can't help but feel the potential was there to do more with it.
