Awake not Woke!

Overrepresentation in DEI checkmark casting. 6 crew members-1 white female, 1 spanish female, 2 black males, 1 asian male, 1 white male. This is basically a ripoff of The Thing but in space with a little Alien mixed in. Wholly generic and unoriginal. The acting is all pretty bad, the VFX range wildly from pretty good to just awful. The director (named flying lotus, I shit you not......sigh) is more interested in going for quick cuts and flashes or attempts at art house visuals and shots than telling an interesting coherent story.

This might actually be worse than the last one. Spanish DEI leads with all their DEI friends are back from the previous movie including the black lesbian now in a mixed race couple. Gail is now also seeing a black man half her age. Black lesbian wears a shirt that says 'strong femme lead' .All of the dei characters are nasty, unlikable, aggressive borderline violent characters. Lead assaults' a white male character by tazing him in the groin and claims he trying to date rape her sister, even though her sister is telling her she wants to go and he's basically falling over drunk. The writing and acting again is awful, spoilers follow.................. Sam's therapist a white male of course has her tell him about her trauma then appears to almost shit himself in fear and threatens to report her to the police. For what exactly? That would never happen, he would be sued and probably lose his license. Killer in full costume chases them down the st of New York city and into a store full of customers and starts killing people. The cashier misses a point blank shot with shotgun and the killer gets away as the police take forever to arrive. A very loud attack with people screaming takes place in an apartment and non of the neighbors seem to notice or call the police. The same nonsense with Sam seeing and hearing Billy from the last movie is here as well. Killer attacks very slowly a character on a crowded subway and nobody sees anything. Characters are shot and stabbed repeatedly and appear to be almost dead than are magically fine 2 minutes later and act like nothing happened. The killers are of course a white family. The final 30 minutes just like the last movie are complete stupid silly embarrassingly bad nonsense. The black super twins appear to have DEI immortality at this point as they are able to survive an impossible amount of bodily harm that would easily have killed a straight white person. Once you realize who the killers are it makes the scene with ghostface standing over Quinn menacingly stupid and pointless as they are the only 2 in the room. You also realize tiny Quinn is the one who attacks in Gail's apartment and is able to overpower and dispatch a large 38 year old male with ease but can't manage to kill 60 year old Gail who has been stabbed 3 times. What is the point of faking Quinn's death? It serves no purpose within the movie having the characters think she's dead, its cheap bad writing that's only there to try to trick the audience. The entire premise behind Richie's family trying to get revenge is complete nonsense. Once Richie's identity is found out in the last movie his family would of been all over the news everywhere. Ghostface killings would be major national news at this point. Especially considering his father is a longtime police officer whos son is the serial killer!! There is no way nobody would know who these people are especially the FBI agent!!

Subpar 60/40 Woke to Watchable

It’s amazing how these weak characters could be the survivors of this event. The “man” character is weak and women characters take on the roles of men. In a survivor scenario I could believe some form of this but this is just unconvincing. Another attempt to demoralize the role of men and promote women. Nothing against women or the DEI characters chosen for this movie but woke does not reflect reality and it diminishes films like this. Could be worse but still a little difficult to watch.

Not too woke

Malin character plays a teenager which is very silly. But very 80s slasher. Alex character has 2 gay dads. Interracial couple x2 by niggers. Some woke one liners. But doesn't distract or take too much away.
