Awake not Woke!

Not woke

Good sequel that stands on its own without outdoing the original. Third in the works and welcomed. Nice twist ending. Setting in France, so DIE casting accurate? Only dinging 1/5

Another Woke Unnecessary Soulless Remake

A LOT of DEI casting. They basically combined Hunt's and Paxton's character into one female lead and deleted the male character and replaced him with an annoying YouTube douche streamer. A lesbian actor in what is clearly a lesbian character. The finale has the actress going off recklessly completely on her own to rescue everyone because she has to be a strong independent female character who don't need no man. So many problems with this unnecessary remake. The VFX for the tornadoes looks no better and in some cases worse then the original from 1996. Another entire movie full of unlikable characters. Bad writing again shows up here. Why in the hell do the characters insist on saying the lead females name every 20-30 seconds. It's so irritating and and ridiculous you could make a drinking game out of it and never be able to finish the movie. The tornado scenes somehow have no excitement to them, they just seem bland and boring and never seems like your in a tornado. The vehicles never move they just sit there in contrast with the original where they are constantly getting beat up by the storms. Windows smash, trucks twist and turn, dents and smashes all over the vehicles, here none of that. Also I'm expected to believe those pathetic little augers that look like they are about 16-18" are going to hold a truck stable in the dirt in a tornado? Sure. I won't even comment on the end where those same augers easily bore through black top road with no problem. What the hell is with the nasty dirty meth head looking actress? Then there's a whole town in tornado alley who all just fun around like idiots when the sirens go off like they wouldn't know where the shelters are and where to go. There's more but you get the idea, combine the bad writing with the over the top woke DEI elements and your better off watching the original again. It's dated but still holds up better than this thing.

Nothing woke. Excellent homage to 80's alien sci/fi. The time period is well done, the acting and dialog are good, the writing is good. Is it original? No. Is is anything you haven't seen before? Probably not. But it is well done and entertaining without any of the woke political preachy bs.

Well made yet insufferable

This movie is an early example of wokeness where Hollywood still knew how to make good movies but wokeness had begun infesting it in the form of feminism. Everything about the movie is good except Bond's sidekick who is a despicable girlboss and nothing but a liability to Bond and totally unlikeable, yet The Narrative requires him to fawn over her as though she's deserving of adoration. Ruins an otherwise good movie.
