Awake not Woke!

Forced diversity checkboxes and weak plot.

Bloated, mediocre sci-fi thriller with a 'meh' plot that drags despite multiverse intrigue. Heavy wokeness weighs it down: black, gay billionaire tech mogul funding the multiverse tech, screams DEI billionaire trope. Super-strong black female bodyguard/muscle type. The core story feels forced and uninspired. Acting is pretty decent - Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly try hard and could salvage better material. But the forced diversity checkboxes and weak plotting make it ultimately forgettable. Overall, the show leans into Apple TV's usual diversity quotas without organic need, which dilutes the already mediocre story further. Skip unless you're desperate for more Apple sci-fi.

Average romantic drama with action at the end, but only mildly woke

Only Mildly-Woke at most: 1) Female hero (so what, who cares, she's beautiful) 2) Diverse cast (who cares, probably a good thing) 3) Stresses "changing" climate (mildly woke, debatable topic) Movie Quality: 1) Average to slightly above average 2) More romantic drama than action pic 3) Cartoon-ish characters, but they settle down mid movie 4) Satisfying ending

Cool sci-fi movie, pre woke era

This is a fun, engaging movie. It is one of the sci-fi versions of Groundhog's Day movies, except it is better than most. Suspenseful, touching, and thankfully made before the lecturing "woke" era of Hollywood.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand the acting is pretty good and it's a well made film. However it's all rather boring and almost nothing happens until an hour into the movie. Even than there's almost no blood, the kills are bland and the story is not really very interesting.. While there's nothing woke I really wouldn't recommend this unless you like your horror very tame.
