Ok film, not really woke
I enjoyed the premise/concept. An attempted colonization of an alien world goes awry for early settlers because men's thoughts are able to be seen/heard to everyone around them. Which does not affect the women.
It's an interesting dynamic to see played out in the sci fi genre. What can happen when extremism takes over and goes too far. I thought that Daisy and Tom gave good performances in this.. I wish they had developed the whole alien relationship more? There is this species on the planet with the settlers that is blamed for a genocide, but then they are not really mentioned or interacted much with beyond a single encounter.
Aside from some potential feminist undertones, I could not really detect any hints of wokeness in this film. Daisy's character comes out as the typical over qualified female character who "don't need no man" to rescue her and bring her through the challenges they encounter.

Interesting but annoying concept
The concept is intriguing, but the "noise" is distracting. I put on subtitles and that made it much more bearable, because I didn't have to struggle to make out the words in the "noise".
I love alien planets in movies. Like many alien planets in movies, this one looks suspiciously like Canada. However, it makes sense given that the human population are colonists who landed decades ago, and Earth life (Canadian life?) has mostly taken over the planet since then.
Many of the men are portrayed as insane and evil, while women are portrayed much more favorably. Still, I can't quite give it a woke point, maybe 0.5 woke points.
