Awake not Woke!

A somewhat original concept. It's basically a variation on found footage with most of the movie taking place in 1 room with Pratts character and an AI judge, the rest of the scenes are various camera footage shots both past and live. The acting is pretty good and it's a look at a conceivable and disturbing future with AI and constant surveillance at every turn. The writing and story are for the most part well thought out and implemented with a few stretches toward the end. The entire motive and plot for everything when all revealed at end has some holes in it but not enough to ruin it in my opinion. Probably one of the biggest weak points is some shoddy bad looking CG particularly in pretty much any shot with the hover bike. It looks poor at best and downright comical other times. It's a small thing and this is still a very entertaining and watchable movie. As for woke free....not exactly. There is a strong minority casting presence in general and the nonwhite female officer's acting is just not very good. Searching her reveals she is a boxer not an actor and has been in only 3 other movies I've never heard of before this, than gets a major role. Sounds a little like a DEI hire. Without spoiling a major plot point there is a setup for a mixed race coupling to get that box checked that seems to be in absolutely every single thing now. The villain is pretty obvious early on and checks the woke box as well. It's hard to say more without giving away spoilers.

Nothing woke. Based on a true story that took place between 2006-2009. This deserved to get more attention than it did. Extremely well made, visceral, gritty and uncomfortable war movie. Excellent acting and cinematography. Great FX for a budget of only 18 million. This is close quarters down and dirty filmmaking at it's finest. Highly recommended and also to look up the true story as well. What happened here is completely avoidable and shows yet again the incompetency of government and should piss you off. Make sure to watch through the credits for interviews with the real soldiers involved.

Nothing woke. Another classic older comedy that mixes physical slapstick with good jokes and a little stoner humor as well. Great soundtrack you don't really see in movies now and actual comedy without all the woke agenda garbage. Manages to avoid most of the more sappy romance stuff in favor of straight comedy. If you like the late 90's early 200's comedy style give this a try.

Nothing woke. Based on a true story. There is some speculation from some of the people interviewed that the main character is gay but it's never confirmed one way or the other and is never shown or talked about in any way. The main female character is a nasty person but everyone recognizes it as such. Shot in a sort of half documentary half regular film style. Interviews with real people mixed with actors and a typical film style this movie is both hilarious and tragic at the same time. The acting is great and the humor both intentional and as a result of interviews is just spot on. Highly recommended but may not be for everyone.
