Surprisingly good
This movie has a social agenda. The difference between this and the typical agenda-driven movies, is that it's not based on deception or, even exaggeration. The agenda is to portray the ludicrous idea of men competing in women's sports using trans ideology. Funny? absolutely! After ruminating on this movie for a couple of days, I've come to the conclusion that the key character is Gwen, the Journalist.

Watch it, you'll thank me later. Nostalgia 15 years later.
Here's the thing... Monk's stepdaughter's fiancé is DIE (pun intended), lots of token DIE casting relegated to minor/background characters.

Horror Comedy With No Comedy or Horror
Pro socialism comment. Female sheriff though she's a bit incompetent so maybe not really woke. Father is also incompetent and useless. These are small complaints and easily overlooked but are still noted as a 1 woke. Acting is ok and the story is actually not bad. Unfortunately this horror/comedy fails at both. The comedy isn't funny and there's nothing scary about the elves. How threatening is a 3 foot person who can't even break through a car windshield with a sledgehammer. They are also easily dispatched by children and are scared of lights. This could of been a fun Norwegian Christmas movie.

People really don't understand what "woke" even means. This site should post a good definition so that everybody is on the same page.
That said, this movie's woke elements: "strong", "independent" female protagonist, highly conspicuous over-representation of minorities in positions of power (Hispanic nurse, Indian head of hospital, black cop), cucked ex husband, mixed race couple, evil white yuppies. "The message" isn't the driving force in the movie, but you're in denial if you think there's zero wokeness.
Annoying stuff not related to wokeness: jump scares and fake-outs are beyond lame in 2023, and they have them thrown in way too often.

Jack Nicholson is great as always
Minor diversity hire content but the Scatman Crothers character is endearing and he is the only person that is nice to Danny, so I think he's a great role model.

Poor Acting, Amateurish Film
Woke Dei black female lead. The acting is pretty bad all around but the lead is especially terrible meaning probably hired for the diversity check box. Boring bland horror film with no scares and a jumbles mess of a story. Pass.

Heart warming story with no wokeness
I thought this was a very heart warming story about a missed connection. It was a nive way to spend an hour and a half and definitely scratches the Hallmark style movie itch.

They Don't Make Em Like They Used Too
Gregory House is the most lovable ass-hole I've ever seen on television. Whenever I want a cleanse from all the current political-correctness, this is my go to. The jokes are unapologetic. The truths this man lets out are simply staggering. There is *zero* chance this would ever get funded nowadays, so you know it's going to be good!
The last few seasons do taper off, but overall it's well worth it. I never watch "medical shows", so I wouldn't let that stop you from enjoying this gem. Cherish the fact that this was ever produced, those days are over.

My Favorite Scifi Serial
The Wokeness
Lets touch on this since it'll be interesting to dive into it through the lens of a 1990s show. You will be greeted with some "girl power" moments in the first few episodes, so you may think this is an angle that will play out often in the series. It is not, and when it is, it is tasteful.
Stargate comes from a time when women were preaching equality, not equity. In that vein, Captain Samantha Carter will play the role of a female integrating into a mostly men-dominated world. The show will touch on it at times. However, get prepared for a different narrative and a different message than you are used too.
SG1 preaches comradery, understanding, trust and bonding between sexes. It also makes fun of Carter at times, exposing a few of her own biases. It's such a refreshing take, yet watching this I feel so sad about how things have turned for the worst.
In a panel she did a long time ago, actress Amanda Tapping also shared some heartwarming thoughts about "strong female characters". When asked about her role, from a modern angry female, she responded along the lines of "You must remember that it is men like Brad Wright who stuck out their necks to help forward our cause". The days when men weren't evil and women didn't hate men, what a throwback.
The Story
SG1 is bar-none the single best scifi serial. Just watch it. Screw Star Trek or Star Wars, this is where it's at ;)

Very hit or miss, high highs, low lows.
This one is going to take a few words to unpack, so bear with me. First off, wokeness.
The Wokeness
The show shovels feminist garbage down your throat every time it can. The main character is truly unlikeable, since in the feminists' 10 commandments, a women shall not be nice. Silo is filled with gender-reversal and so on. Men take a backseat to "strong independent women" etc.
*However*, there is an attempt here to steer off the mary-sue trope. Sometimes it succeeds. The main character has flaws and is once or twice, helped by a man. Heresy! the feminists cry, eyes filled with bitch-tears.
There is a single mention of a gay couple during the show, and crazy enough, I wished they delved deeper. Analyzing how a siloed culture would react to same-sex couples. For ex, on the one hand you might want to encourage making kids... But on the other, limited mouths to feed... Anyhow, a non-propagandist exploration of that topic would've been interesting, if done right.
If you are sensitive to wokeness, this will be too much for you. But it isn't as bad as other shows, there was a visible attempt to tone it down. Pulling it back 1 or 2 notches more would've been perfect for me, allowing me to get immersed and forget that at its core, this is a feminist propaganda piece, not art.
The Show
Silo is at times brilliant, with good acting and twists, but more often than not quite dull and sluggish. I've already talked about the main character being hard to like, others aren't much better either. I'd say you have to really push through the mid-section, to enjoy a superb last 2-3 episodes.
In case you want to suffer through it, the show raises many questions and it *does* answer them. You'll get a great payoff at the end, leaving you satisfied and interested for more. Whether I can survive the wokeness of another season remains to be seen.
In terms of the setting, everything is very surface level. The world and culture remains vastly unexplored, or simply identical to modern life. The show breaks its own internal logic at times, pulling you out of it. Silly scenes also lower the impact of the overall drama.
Visually, the silo is too clean, looks unlived in and artificial. The decors are repetitive copy-past CGI and only serve as a facade. I understand budget constraints, but this show would've done well with more "practical stuff" thrown around on sets. Shadows and darkness aren't utilized well. You never get that sense of mystery, triggering your imagination to dream about how it would be like to live in a silo, or what lies in the hidden spots of this vast underground city.
Overall, this is a toss up. Flip a coin, watch a few episodes and see if it's your jam. You WILL be rewarded by a great ending, but you'll probably hate the main character (by design).
