The only valid reason that I can say that attracted me to this movie is the lead cast "Gina Rodriguez" my love for her started after watching the movie "someone great" I love the fact that she is a great actor and seeing how she portrayed that character in that movie made me love her even more.
No one recommended this movie to me, I was going through feeds on the social media space when I came across a review about the movie, seeing her on the trailer and I went "I'm gonna hit that download button" so I ran straight to the website I download movies from and started my journey into downloading this movie.
The movie tells the story of a recovering drug addict, "Jil Adams," who happens to work at the security department in a college where she steals drugs from the research laboratory to resell to students.
Jill Adams has two children named "Noah and Matilda." While driving with her two children one morning, the car loses power and is hit by another car, thereby sending them into a lake. Matilda drowned in the lake and was rescued by a police officer. The offer later reveals that everything that uses electricity is malfunctioning.
On getting to the hospital and ensuring that Matilda was stabilized, Jil found out that all the coma patients had woken up due to the electricity failure. In the outside world, everyone was unable to go to sleep.
On her way to work Jil discovers that the whole neighborhood is awake. Jil's doctor explained that if people don't fall asleep they are likely to suffer from sleep deprivation.
But then there is only one old woman who is an exception that doesn't fall asleep like the others, she is being kept in a place called the "hub" so she can be studied very well to enable the doctors to get a cure for those who can't fall asleep. The movie portrayed a lot of plot twists.
I loved this movie, I know you wanna say it's related to the actress that I talked about earlier at the beginning, well, you might be right, but then that isn't true to an extent though.
I enjoyed this movie, but then I would've loved a better-rounded ending. I felt like I was being left alone at the ocean with my thoughts. I also love the fact that it didn't take any time before getting into action.
The shots in the movie are very cinematic, and I like how everything adds up in the end, despite not ending the way I thought it would, but then movies don't have to obey my thoughts, right? Yeah, I understand.
I'm gonna rate this movie a 6/10, the cast did a great job with the roles given. I found them leaning into the characters. I'm not gonna lie, the story itself is decent, but then I wanted more things to unveil.
I'm definitely gonna recommend it for those who are interested in watching it for themselves. images are screenshots from my phone.
Thanks for reading 🧡
