Not woke

Clemens is the only thing woke, pointless token main character, especially for the location and times.

We wuz scholars and van hellsing

Ultra woke movie. The one black Oxford doctor ends up on a ship and him and some random female team up to give Dracula a double dose of diversity, and a single shot of girl power. Its a disaster of a movie and woke to its core.

A black guy in that time-period, well dressed in clean clothes, highly educated, friendly, compassionate, hardworking, heroic, intelligent deep thinker etc... Totally superhuman in every way compared to any white character. Second place is obviously for the superhuman smart female with more courage than the rest of the hardened male crew combined.
The story itself is bearable but ruined by the lead characters.

Coulda been so much better

Premise is great: What really happened in that lightly roughed in chapter of log entries from Bram Stoker's 'Dracula'?

Instead of doing a solid job of exploring the concept - think Dan Simmons' period-perfect envisioning of the fate of the lost Franklin Expedition of 1849, in 'The Terror' - what you get instead is yet another half-baked "re-imagining" of the material. It's a brittle house of cards built on characters that not only don't exist in the book, but are wildly out of place in the setting - a merchant ship at sea - and period of English history. Just weak wish-fulfillment. Meh.

Very Woke but Enjoyable if You Can Get Past That

As others have noted the token well spoken, educated, well dressed black character is completely out of place for the time period. There is a woe is me racism speech from the same character. The female character is also very much a 'girl power' unrealistic character for the time. The acting and story are good with a very creepy and disturbing atmosphere. FX are also pretty good. If you can look past the issues it is very watchable but be aware it is very woke.
