Barely based on the ashes of the summary of Asimov's Foundation

So "woke", that they changed some of the the main characters to be "women", african-american women, just to expiate some imaginary progressive guilt. They've destroyed the whole original material with this abomination. Not even Demerzel, a pivotal character survived this madness. As they wasn't able to secure the rights for his character, they've made Demerzel a robot woman capable of killing, disobeying Asimov's laws of robotics, laws you won't be able to find anywhere, because they aren't even mentioned in the show. If you don't know the original material, you may think this is a "masterpiece". It's not. This is an insult to Asimov's fan base. Don't waste time with this farce. Just read the books and you will find out how good science fiction is really made. And (as if it even need it), Bel Riose is gay now, how about that? Expect "more" of this nonsense in the future.

One woke character

The film is actually better than it looks, with a standard save-the-miners trucker hauling stuff in a big rig across a dangerous ice road.
There is only one woke element, and that’s a pipsqueak teenage girly-girl who also of course happens to be a super-skilled stunt driving tucker who of course yells “racist” any time anyone criticizes her, and of COURSE is a social justice warrior activist. But is it enough to call the film woke? No. She’s just insufferable and you wish she’d die the whole time. But just that.

Basic title

The movie is more a sketch, a trial, than a complete project. It feels like they did not think trough and are unsecure of what is going on, so they just put random ideas together. The fact that they address the pre-life period is good, now there is no direction. Still the movie is human, with people that care, clueless but caring. I did not spot any wokeness and it give a sense of humans feeling responsible even if they don't understand what is going on.

Crazy but somehow very grounded.

The film focuses on the marriage between Carrell and Fey's characters, their growth through the film as well as their dependence on each other. They are both strong (albeit, each with many flaws) and they are stronger when they are helping each other solve their problems together.
The script is crazy at times, over the top excesses of miscommunication and bad decisions made- but the heart of the film is very much grounded in real relationships, real issues and lived experiences. As a parent, there were so many details that rang so true- whether being bombarded by the kids way too early in the morning- all the way through to the husband and wife's in-jokes and their responses to the limitations in their own marriage.
Highly recommended.

It's pretty woke, but actually really entertaining and well done

I can't deny that there are definitely strong woke elements to this one, but in the end I rather enjoyed it.

Think "Being John Malkovich" but a horror version

One of my guilty pleasures perhaps, but it definitely kept me on the edge of my seat

Stupid Nothing Burger With a Side of Woke

People with money bad for no real reason, poor prostitute good, hardworking unappreciated 'artists' and service industry good. A little metoo, men bad moment thrown in. The acting is generally good and I thought this was going to be a horror cannibal type film but nope. It's not even horror nor is it funny. It's just terrible and nothing much really happens. It's just 2 hours of 'poor me nobody appreciates me' whining. Nobody would act the way these people act in this situation. Not one single person ever makes any attempt to fight back in any way. This is one of the stupidest movies I've seen in a long while.

Could Of Been A Good 70's Throwback

This is a modern day 70's blaxploitation with a little sci-fi mixed in. This had potential to be good. The acting, style, dialog and cinematography are all spot on. All they had to do was make it a straightforward conspiracy based loosely around the actual events of the Tuskegee syphilis's experiments that actually happened. Unfortunately they had to go to far with it and turn it into white people conspiring to keep blacks down and criminalized. It turns all black criminals into victims who are made to be criminals by white government. If your really into the 70's era this might still be worth a watch as there is a good movie under all the preachy bs.

4 minutes into the show

Yeah, within four minutes into the show it screams woke. Just when you look at the cast of the crowd of observers. Not wasting my time on social re-endoctrination. Life is too short. Good try though 🤣

Woke-free. But only because it's plot-free. And therefore fun-free. You'd get more enjoyment out of watching a jar of mayo on your counter.

Depends entirely which episode you watch. Either it's perfectly innocuous or the biggest lesbian fiesta on Earth. There is no middle ground.

First scene has a lesbian couple in the throes of passion, but then they get brutally slaughtered almost immediately after. I'll let you decide if that makes up for it or not.

Movie's not that great either way. Go rent Anaconda instead.

2023 media in a nutshell

Has a non-binary character and features a mixed relationship, neither of which I know this site's users would approve of.
