One of my favorite movies
I love this movie. It's super thought-provoking and full of deep thought that wokies could never conceive of.

Enjoyable, but confusing ending.
Enjoyed the film immensely, even with the messy ending. But hey, time travel is a tough one to nail down. Very poignant/sad.

Think for yourself
Woke moment at the end of it
Right at the very end, the guy thinks the space station was named after him but in fact, it was named after his daughter. She's the genius who apparently found the theory to save humanity -- though not without her father's help and sacrifice when he sent her messages through spacetime from another dimension. But instead of appreciating what he's done, she hated him for years for abandoning her and then when they see each other again, she almost seems to dismiss him. I think if I were in her position I'd clear the room to see him and give him my full attention. Most feminists hated their fathers, however. So if there is a woke element here it's a subtle one: that a man may give his life in the name of duty but he's really he's just selfish for doing so -- while a woman is the hero in the end. Girl power. There is also some wokeness in the idea that humans caused an environmental apocalypse (i.e., climate change). Otherwise a good, "hard SF" movie about black holes and space travel and parallel universes, quantum physics, etc. And also about the sadness of family separation.

There is no fate but what we make
It's a great science fiction movie that's heavy on the science relative to other sci-fi films. Even the parts that violate the laws of physics are sort of okay, since physics as we know it breaks down at the singularity in a black hole.
For wokeness, the above review makes a good case for mild woke. The Dust Bowl videos they kept showing refer to a real environmental catastrophe that was at least half man-made, so the film seems to be implying that was the case here. I think their message is that relying on a handful of food crops and losing the wild strains is setting us up for a crop blight that could threaten Mankind. The message is reasonable, but I feel the intention here is half-woke.
The ending is a bit too much of "yay for women" and a diss of the male hero. Was that a natural outcome of the earlier plot or intentional wokeness? Not sure, but I'm going with the latter.
Overall, I will give it 1 woke point. Don't let that stop you from watching this film if you like sci-fi.
