It has the trope about women being under appreciated at work, incompetent male, interracial relation (White guy Somali woman) and more. That being said the movie doesn't necessarily tries to make you like them, it has its funny moments and you could say some of her over the top capabilities are done for comedic relief not an agenda. But there's still a lot of girl bossing around. I still think its a watchable movie if you don't take it seriously.

Woke to its fucking core

What a load of woke bullshit! I couldn’t even make it past the first 10 minutes before it was obvious that from the very first line "Roots run deep", the whole point of this movie is to brainwash whoever’s watching it. But the worst part is that it’s deliberately and maliciously aimed straight at kids, which makes it even more fucked up (if that’s even possible).

I’m not wasting any more energy describing it. This animated movie is literally everything wrong with woke culture shoved into stuff made for children, and the people who made it know exactly what they’re doing.

This is the kind of content that needs to either disappear completely or come with a BIG-ass warning label that says “This contains political propaganda” so people can tell it apart from other movies and shows.

WOKKERS

Ugh... Where do I start?

Let's start with the main character: a 'woman' that looks 100% like a man (not even a tomboy, 100% A DUDE), your typical transgender/non-binary BS. Of course she is an insufferable radical activist with the most annoying voice, and she will never never NEVER EVER shut up (Imagine Greta Thunberg but 100 times more annoying)!. Of course she has to be the only one that is brave, strong, capable of the impossible, raising her voice, girlbossing her way even above royalty.

The plot? Jeez, even Ferngully and Guardians of the Galaxy 3 were waaaay more subtle. Yes, MAN is the EVIL destroyer of nature, especially if he is white. Speaking of white, every 'good' or non-relevant character is black, brown or female, even male animals are depicted as cowards, non-caring, dumb, or plain evil compared to the females, of course! Why am I not surprised?

Movies like Avatar show you the issue in a very entertaining way, making you care, making you feel invested. This movie feels like your typical insufferable vegan standing outside your favourite meat restaurant, nagging and yelling at you for being a 'murderer'.

No... just NO.

Well 5 minutes in and I already absolutely hate the kid and want the character to die off. Spoilers follow but it's all in the first 10 minutes anyway. Movie tells us the white male is an abusive, racist p.o.s. who hates the kid, except it never shows any of that on screen other than 1 loud verbal fight with the kids mother. She than violently attacks and bashes him over the head and left for unconscious. We are not shown or told why. She leaves the idiot moron child behind and escapes. The male comes to and goes outside with a gun. Reasonable after being attacked. The unhinged and apparently mentally deranged child shoots an arrow at him narrowly missing. TWICE! He does nothing but tries to talk the kid down, even though he's holding a gun and the kid is
actively trying to shoot him. Sounds like a violent abusive person to me. The kid than shoots him and dances around singing and celebrating like an absolute psychotic future serial killer. That's not a good start. The writing is pretty bad. A character in a dinner is acting shady talking on the phone and writes down a meeting place and time on a napkin, then immediately crumbles it up and leaves it on his plate and leaves. WTF was the point of writing it down then? This is boring pretentious filmmaking at it's worst. Seems all males are either idiots, violent criminals or both and just all around bad. The females are all innocent victims just trying to survive. 45 minutes of stupidity was all I could take.

This isn’t free of woke content.

It’s not a bad movie, but yeah, it definitely has woke elements.

Just because it’s a Guillermo del Toro film doesn’t mean it avoids that kind of stuff. Pretty much everything he makes is heavily rooted in social symbolism, and in this case the female character is clearly shaped by a kind of feminism that doesn’t really line up with the time period the movie is trying to portray. The messaging is there from the very start, and it’s distracting. At times it’s so on the nose it almost feels like a modern day "Karen".

That said, the movie still has strong craftsmanship, great cinematography and solid execution. But at the end of the day, it’s just another Frankenstein story, nothing more. Way too much hype for a filmmaker who tends to get overpraised in that space. And that's fine, he does his job very well.

But, it doesn’t break new ground or redefine anything, it’s just well put together, and that’s it.

P.S.: I do like his movies, but this one feels like a straight-up cash grab.

Great acting

Minimal scene movies like this tend to showcase good acting skills. Chris Pratt hit it out of the park, like Colin Farrell in Phone Booth, or the full cast of The Man from Earth.
The only woke element I noticed is the diminutive black lady beating a full-size white guy in a rooftop brawl. It would be a spoiler to discuss more about her.
The story is not bad. It is similar to The Minority Report.
A similar concept was tried in real life. Algorithmic programs were used to determine sentencing of criminals with no consideration of ethnicity or gender. It was a failure. Black culture was triggering longer, more severe sentencing. It had the effect of appearing even more racist than the human judges.

After the first two episodes, I would give this show a negative wokeness rating. Michelle Pfeiffer's character has old fashion values and the show makes fun of her very progressive daughter and grandchildren. The people in the flyover states are depicted in a positive manner for once.

*****I finished the series and I can honestly say it was anti-woke. Michelle Pfeifer loved her husband who was a good man. The men of Montana are all depicted in an extremely positive manner as is family life out in the country. No affirmative action, discriminatory DEI casting what so ever.

This show will upset some young progressives as their beliefs are the source of humor. I hope these writers find lots of work in the industry.

I really wanted to like this but the first episode alone is full of problems. The acting is all over the place with some truly terrible
performances by some of the actors. The story and writing make no sense and are completely unbelievable. We are told he is a genius app
developer but his app seems to be garbage. It doesn't' do anything any random analyst wouldn't be able to do. It's also hard to believe
an agency like this would be populated by a small handful of random people and not have a bunch of agents and massive government oversight like in episode 1. Suddenly in episode 2 there are people everywhere and the agency seems to be much larger out of nowhere. Then there is the problems presented by the shows ability to loop and reset time. This allows for pretty much any character to be killed at random because the time loop just resets and it doesn't matter. This ruins a lot of the tension and danger. You just know as soon as anyone dies or something really bad happens that means they won't stop the disaster and time will be reset. It kind of makes everything pointless eventually. In the very first scene we already have the mixed race couple. There is a casual racist anti-white minority victimhood comment. The agency recruiter is an Indian woman. Head of the agency is female. This is yet another DEI minority extravaganza where white seems to be a minority except if its a villain. Given this was cancelled after 2 seasons with no ending 2 episodes was enough for me.

This is based on the first episode only. There was nothing woke in the first episode. Based on a Korean webcomic this is a very well made
show, the acting is good and the FX are mostly good but look a little off sometimes. The issue I had is in the first episode everything is so
confusing and nothing makes any sense or is explained at all. Things happen and characters show up that it feels like you should know. I actually stopped at 20 minutes in to make sure I was watching the first episode and again at 30 minutes to see if this was a sequel to something else. It's so hard to follow and constantly feels like your watching the second season or at least half way through the first season of a show. There is some potential here and maybe if you know the source material it may be really good but after 1 episode I was so lost and just had no interest in going any further.

A somewhat original concept. It's basically a variation on found footage with most of the movie taking place in 1 room with Pratts character
and an AI judge, the rest of the scenes are various camera footage shots both past and live. The acting is pretty good and it's a look at a
conceivable and disturbing future with AI and constant surveillance at every turn. The writing and story are for the most part well thought out
and implemented with a few stretches toward the end. The entire motive and plot for everything when all revealed at end has some holes in it but not enough to ruin it in my opinion. Probably one of the biggest weak points is some shoddy bad looking CG particularly in pretty much any shot with the hover bike. It looks poor at best and downright comical other times. It's a small thing and this is still a very entertaining
and watchable movie. As for woke free....not exactly. There is a strong minority casting presence in general and the nonwhite female officer's acting is just not very good. Searching her reveals she is a boxer not an actor and has been in only 3 other movies I've never heard of before this, than gets a major role. Sounds a little like a DEI hire. Without spoiling a major plot point there is a setup for a mixed race coupling to get
that box checked that seems to be in absolutely every single thing now. The villain is pretty obvious early on and checks the woke box as well. It's hard to say more without giving away spoilers.

Nothing woke. Based on a true story that took place between 2006-2009. This deserved to get more attention than it did. Extremely well made, visceral, gritty and uncomfortable war movie. Excellent acting and cinematography. Great FX for a budget of only 18 million. This is close quarters down and dirty filmmaking at it's finest. Highly recommended and also to look up the true story as well. What happened here is completely avoidable and shows yet again the incompetency of government and should piss you off. Make sure to watch through the credits for interviews with the real soldiers involved.

Nothing woke. Another classic older comedy that mixes physical slapstick with good jokes and a little stoner humor as well. Great soundtrack you don't really see in movies now and actual comedy without all the woke agenda garbage. Manages to avoid most of the more sappy romance stuff in favor of straight comedy. If you like the late 90's early 200's comedy style give this a try.
