UNAWARE is another found footage style movie with a sci-fi rather than horror angle. Another reviewer was right on the money when he said that ALIEN ABDUCTION: THE MCPHERSON TAPE which was ten times the film this is; not a perfect film by any means, but one which had plenty of incident and creepy stuff going on throughout to recommend it.
By comparison, UNAWARE is very dull and threadbare. At least half of the running time has nothing going on apart from the dull two protagonists wandering around and chatting. There's supposed to be mystery here, and a sense of pervading horror at something nasty in the garage, but it doesn't really work. It feels instead like the characters are just treading water and waiting for the good stuff, which never arrives anyway (the budget is so cheap that we just see a couple of things in the distance and that's it). Despite being beautifully shot - the camera-work is refreshingly non-shaky and the locations are great - the lack of incident and narrative makes this a very tedious watch.

Truly one of the worst films I've seen in my life . Zero plot, zero thrill. Guy proposes to a girl, yet the night of their engagement, he wants to go investigate an old barn rather than be intimate and possibly have the best of his life. Add to that, the cheesiest effects and worst directing I've ever seen. The story made no sense , yet every step of the way we're supposed to believe this nonsense. But allegedly, the US government keeps alien corpses in retirees barns. And top-secret government documents in filing cabinets in said barn. Plus the lead character isn't ignoramus, and treats his girl terribly. He is a giant manchild invading the privacy of his grandfather. I wish I could get the hour and 20 minutes back of my life that this film took. Fortunately I watched it for free on Netflix otherwise I'd be very ticked off. STOOPID MOVIE, I REPEAT, STUPIDMOVIE
Another one of those found footage movies , I have been looking forward to this movie since the trailer came out.
The trailer seem great however this as got to be one the BIGGEST Disappointment's Ever! (I love most found footage movies.
This as got to be the most boring-est and dullest movie I have ever sat thought, there nothing really happens until hour into the movie.
Little things were like over in an flash and then panic and then it's calm down for again until last five minutes of the movie, where the movie start going and of course ends!
The scenes was okay but nothing great at all as there were no suspense in this movie at all, not sure what to thing of the Alien.
I felt I seen this done before and better in Alien Abduction: The McPherson Tape (Which was not great but still miles better then this movie)
And what hell was the point of that end of Credit scene, Blue sky!
The acting was wooden at times by lead Male, the Girl scream was good!
One of the worst and dullest of them Found footage movies (I have seen more then few)
3/10 Very, Very, VERY! Poor!

I have been going through a "found footage" binge recently devouring everything in my way. I can look past all the petty issues people have with the genre. I've seen tons of movies with terrible reviews that I thought deserved 8 or 9 ratings. But this movie is one of the worst,and believe me I've seen some stinkers.
It is basically a really lame version of the "McPherson tapes" but lacking any of its charm. The characters are unlikable,and do unbelievable things(even by found footage standards).The basic formula for a good film with no budget is good character development , tension building,and strategically placed scares,this film does NOT deliver.

I was on board for a hot second with this one. I love alien movies and found footage genre type stuff. This, however was lacking in almost all areas that you would expect to find in something described as "is it real?" type genre film.
I find it mildly unbelievable that anyone could actually think that this movie was the real deal or any 'found footage' film for that matter. It's a movie. It's been produced and been shown in theaters, obviously it isn't going to be real. Anyways, what's more awful than that marketing idea was the atrocious acting. I kept waiting for it to get better and for something to actually happen but I couldn't even bring myself to believe in the story because they both were so bad. The woman playing 'Lisa' was probably the worst, however 'Joe or Joel', I could never really tell, was not anymore spectacular. Their chemistry was horrid, their motivation completely irrational and scripted beyond belief, and their reactions to each other and to the events were barely able to be taken seriously.
If you want something to preoccupy your time for a bit then you can watch this but honestly I wouldn't expect anything more than something your friends could put together with a less than stunning hand-held.
