Intriguing in spite of itself
There's definitely some wokeness here although it's not so much in the diversity itself. Diversity is nothing new for several decades now.
But how intentional is it in the hiring of actors and how much does it really make a difference is the question..
The only way it might make any difference is that some of the characters fall flat and lack charisma and some of the general interactions between the actors lack chemistry. Were some hired for the wrong reason?
One unnecessary sub plot is a romantic triangle between the male Asian deputy and the female doc and her druggie girlfriend. There's enough stuff going on in the show without throwing this in the pile.
All that being said are that my favorite characters right now are the black sherriff ( Harold Perrineau..the biggest actor in the cast) and the asian american deputy.
Although all the characters aren't so likable the story itself is intriguing and keeps me wanting more..There's not a lot of scifi horror around these days We need this

Overhyped Terrible Film
Not really woke but there is some minor scenes. The sister is the strong one that saves her weaker brother on several occasions. These are minor scenes and can be overlooked. However this is a terrible movie with bad acting particularly by the child actors. The writing and dialog are horrible. Kids don't talk or act this way in these situations. There are multiple child abductions but yet no police presence at the school or parents picking kids up. The abductions are all in broad daylight in residential neighborhoods but nobody sees anything. The brother is living in the same small house and obsessed with the kidnappings but doesn't know anything is going on? The kid suddenly turns into MacGyver. The sister has a dream about the house and the police just drop everything and rush to her location and kick down the door? The ending confrontation is laughably absurd. Nothing is ever explained either. What's with the weird masks? What about the black balloons and magicians outfit? Why do ghosts call on the phone? Why does the sister have dreams of the future/past/present whatever is required? This isn't even really horror, it's a thriller at best. Skip this overhyped mess.

No woke, low budget horror
No woke here. Typical low budget horror for the time. Not great but not a bad way to pass the time if your a horror fan. Passable acting and story. VFX are about what you would expect for direct to video in the early 2000s.

If you like prank shows...
This show sets up an extremely elaborate prank, all along making sure its audience feels like it's in on the joke through a constant barrage of humorous musings on human behavior. Whether you'll like it or not mostly depends on what you find funny, but if you like well-made prank shows that aren't mean-spirited and aren't spoiled by wokeness, you might want to check this one out.

Best movie of the year.
Thoughtful. Honest. So great to see a film that is asking questions, not pushing an agenda AND they spent all the money on a great cast and a great script.

Great Action Movie
Nothing woke about this movie. Not crazy about Tom Cruise but he does put out some great action movies. This one had some nice humor too with his new female counter. Also nice to see all the returning characters. He knows his audience and gives them what they want, which is what all the studios should be doing. Really enjoyed this movie and looking forward to part two

Diverse City
Not just token BIPOC/DIE casting, but whites were a minority. Some zoomer one liners. This was a seattle/silicon valley progressive cast based on Fortnite. But nothing indoctrinating or woke.

Anti-White Black Supremacists ON STEROIDS
This movie enjoys pitting race against race. Divisive is bad enough. This movie segregates! Every white person in this movie's universe is either pathetic or diabolical. At some point the black characters start calling ALL white people "evil." I mean wtf? They even use the "White Devils" trope. The black characters only have redeeming qualities (apart from their rough circumstances, which they blame on white people) which make them superior to white people in every meaningful way (smarter, cooler, more sensitive, more endearing). Because all the black characters are victims, any bad behavior they might engage in isn't actually their fault. In fact, their bad behavior makes them more heroic somehow. So they pimp, prostitute themselves, deal drugs, steal, vandalize, murder, whatever, it's all good. (There seems to be a group of people out there increasingly spending hundreds of millions of dollars financing anti-white, nonwhite-victimhood, justifiable-nonwhite-criminality scripts like this one. Who are they exactly? Almost makes me wonder if there's some bigger agenda at play here.)

Not woke for a Gunn movie
Overall casting is fine, but an awfully lot of black actors portraying Spanish country characters. A few scenes of "strong woman" were forced. Waller actress is still insufferable. A few scenes went from funny to beyond silly. Jumps the shark (pun intended). A couple of lines anti-wokers will like.

Exciting film that ties in lots of elements from the previous ones...
*Minor Spoilers* (Though I've tried to be vague on the detail...)
The villain gives a long monologue about the 'rich elite' who control everyone and use people as pawns... But given that he's the villain, there's no real merit to his rant.
There's a clearly virus enhanced woman whose fighting skills are more than equal to the protagonists (except that it's never stated that she is enhanced)...
Overall, the guys and the gals all take a part in fighting, rescuing and saving each other as a good team should.
RE:DI is a fun movie that allows each of the main RE heroes to shine. It is great being able to see Leon, Jill, Chris, Claire and Rebecca all in on the action. (Rebecca is the one who has the least screen time, but she plays an important role nonetheless).
