Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Sexy and suspenseful, Awake turns the disturbingly real phenomenon of "anesthetic awareness" -- in which surgery patients, though completely paralyzed, are conscious of everything they are experiencing, including the pain -- into a "completely absorbing" thriller (Roger Ebert). When failed anesthesia leaves a rich young tycoon (Hayden Christensen, Star Wars) alert but immobilized during open-heart surgery, he overhears a devious plot to have himself killed. Co-starring Jessica Alba (Sin City) and Academy Award-nominee Terrence Howard (Crash), Awake does "for operations what Jaws did for the beach" (Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter).

4.0 out of 5 stars Something New and Fresh!, February 26, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Awake during surgery, feeling every cut, pry, and poke...yet you cant move or call out for help. Sounds like a nightmare right? Well its an actual phenomenon called anesthetic awareness.

I must say I didn't really think this movie would be worth even a rent. I had to give it a try though since I'm always willing to try every movie regardless of critic reviews.

First lets start off with the Blu Ray details:

Picture 3.5/5 Pretty sharp picture, very little grainy-ness, or artifacts, blacks were solid, and whites were clean and bright. The skin tones looked natural and very colorful. Certainly not a Blu Ray to show your friends PQ but acceptable for watching this film.

Sound 3.5/5 Sound is crisp, voices are very clear and loud. Not much action or FX in this film but all the characters are easily heard, and the ambient noises are solid through rear surround. I wasn't disappointed at all.

Extras 3/5 I personally didn't get into the extra features much, just going by what I saw on the back of the case. I usually check out the extras on my second or third viewing. Seems like the "basic" extras included here.

I don't usually do much for reviews on movies, because I don't wanna spoil anything for people that haven't gotten to enjoy the films for themselves yet. I will say however, that this movie is definitely worth a look, Hayden and Jessica do a great job as a couple, and I actually felt his pain on the table in the OR.

The movie is a bit slow, but not in a boring way. It progresses through very well for the type of movie being shown. I was never wondering if it was gonna get better, and as you meet the characters and get more of the story you get pulled in deeper! (Terrence Howard is excellent in my opinion)

This is a perfect weekend movie, if your bf/gf and you are sick of the normal horror, comedy, romantic comedy films. Just beware if you find realistic operating room procedures make you a bit pale in the face...you've been warned.
