Real sci-fi. Not a bad watch.
Special effects? Not really. As a matter of fact, the radiation suit being worn by the protagonist, Abby, has a gap below the helmet. You can clearly see her bare chin a couple times while she's outside in the dangerous radiation. There are some scenes where you can see the camera equipment. The production team may not be on the A-list.
The acting is very good. The story isn't bad.
Woke elements?
Early in the movie, there was a forced encounter with misogyny. It was unnecessary but, it's there.
There's kind of a futuristic Erin Brockovich or Love Canal theme. There are some real concerns for this kind of thing. It does happen. I think the reason we have a problem with it is because the woke crowd brings up the legitimate situations to benefit their agenda. An example would be stopping a petroleum pipeline over environmental concerns. The result being petroleum transport by highway and rail instead. It's more expensive, more harmful to the environment and has much more risk of disaster but it makes a lot of money for the railroad owner who stirred up the environmentalists against the pipeline. The theme in the movie forced a legitimate concern.
