ELEINA ZULAIKHA BINTI MOHD AZRIN M I absolutely LOVE how they portrayed Sasha, the AI that accompanies you throughout the documentary. Especially the ending; that blew me away. She built up all the way to this "surprise", only to reveal there was none in the end. That she lied and regrets nothing. I think it really hammered in the theme that "Hey, these corporations are scumbags!", and wow, was I impressed. It's... It's incredible. And even more so that it's a freaking robot. Because we tend to forget that... at the end of it all, corporations are not people.

I now feel the need to wait before buying! My eyes have been opened to giving things away or throwing them away.. AWAY is here damaging our future. It's a must watch for everyone. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/25 Full Review Dougie D Enjoyed the film, there were some interesting stories from people up to CEO level in FMCG companies, and people in waste management, but it could have been so more. Some shocking figures, eg 190,000 garments manufactured every minute, but it didn't delve any deeper. Mentioned microplastics, for about 30 seconds; the recycling farce but didn't elaborate much; "donated" waste sent to Africa but just showed a polluted beach. There was little shock value, very underpowered, no real warning of where this will lead us, and the film was packed with AI graphics, seemingly like it was intended for instagram - which may have been deliberate as that may be the target. In the end it was interesting but with no clear threatened outcome, it was overall too watered down to be alarming - or to make a difference. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review Griselda A Major disappointment. There is important information in this film that is well worth hearing. But the majority of the film is all these weird AI visuals and audio that bridge the gaps between tidbits of actually interesting and useful soundbites from the interviewees. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Sydney M The editing was very gimmicky and annoying and I believe they’re using lots of AI for the imaging and that is frustrating. The people they interviewed are great but don’t get enough time to speak Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
