Awake not Woke!

I'm in the minority here but I found this painfully predictible, boring and unoriginal. It just takes the done to death fatal attraction trope then throws in the monkey's paw to make it supernatural and voilà rehashed Gen Z slop. The acting is ok most of the time but certain scenes that are supposed to be creepy or scary are so overacted they are just comical. The male lead is so annoyingly beta and pathetic it's hard to watch. You know exactly what's going to happen right from the start and how it will end, there is not one original thing in this. As for woke this is clearly meant to be a message on 'toxic masculinity', female victimhood and consent. The male is meant to be the villain portrayed as the emotional weakling who has no problem taking advantage of the female when given the opportunity. Nobody in this is likable in any way least of all the male lead.

Sinbad is the baby girl Esme here, even though Sinbad is a male character.

Group of white friends has the token out of place DEI black female. There are environmentalist comments scattered throughout the dialogue. The acting is embarrassingly bad. The story and dialogue are so bad I hope it was written by A.I. so a writer doesn't have to take credit for this garbage. Speaking of A.I. this is another movie that heavily used A.I. generated images for all the shark scenes and as expected it looks terrible. The characters are unlikable and stupid. The ridiculous slow motion shots. This is another movie that's so bad it will probably end up on Rifftrax at some point.

While there is nothing woke in this it is a terrible movie. It looks like a 90's made for sci-fi channel no budget movie. The CG is terrible but even worse the extensive green screen backgrounds. They are so bad there are visible lines around the actors where they were cut and pasted into scenes. Nothing is blended together and the actors look inserted or pasted into the scene. Sometimes actors seem to 'float' in the scene and have no substance. The killer whale is inconsistent and changes size constantly sometimes within the same scene. It's so bad and distracting it renders it unwatchable for anything other than to laugh at and make fun of.
