One of my favorite re-watchable flicks
I can't think of any woke nonsense at all in this. Mel brings the character, Jerry to life in a way that only he could accomplish. The chemistry with Julia Roberts is perfection. Patrick Stewart is the perfect bad-guy/good-guy/bad-guy again. Let's face it, it's all Mel. Watch it. it's good.

Corny, but non-woke.
The script could use a little polishing and then some, and it plays like a sitcom, but that's probably what the story was meant to be. There are a few scenes that make fun of woke indoctrination and the age gap between the tough analog world of Karate Kid and the pansy young generation which the wimpy students have grown up in, and the directors play it up for laughs.
No real woke, at least not in the first couple seasons I've seen so far. Let's hope they keep this series just entertaining and corny the way it is!

Predictable "hero fights for sassy brat kid" story
The movie is a long string of action-flick tropes, from the "hero with a tragic past" to the "action scene in Eastern Europe" all the way to the good-old "betrayed by your own team" thing. There has to be a reason to fight, and like every film school seminar ever, that ends up being some bratty, sassy little kid with some rando illness.
The bad guy was seriously channelling his Jim Carrey Robotnik throughout the whole of it, which was less annoying than it was funny.
But! If you like that stuff, and eat it up with popcorn, then go for it. It's what you need.
As far as woke goes, it comes in the form of the cookie-cutter feminzazi characters. I mean, each one of them is the same exact boring inhuman fem-bot made of the same chunk of high-heeled playdoh.
Yes, the 19-year-old waif beating up hulking 30-40 y.o. battle-worn men three times her size without ever breaking a sweat or scratching a nail. Yes, all the women in this story are bossy as hell, in the same bossy-bitch "on the rag" way, even the sassy little brat for which our protagonist fights. They ALL lose their cool and yell at the guys. One of them (same character, otherwise) goes full-blown Star Wars Purple Haired DIsney General on the story and blows herself up for absolutely no reason whatsoever except.... the directors were a fan of the purple-haired lady, maybe? It seems that all of the female characters - all of them - were pretty much shoved into the story because Netflix thought it needed more tits.
The story would have been so much better without them.
Is that woke? Eh, enough to stick out like highly manicured thumbs. But if you ignore the screamy bitches, the action is still action-y enough to action. So, action on, Gray Man.

No woke, lots of history and God
A historical drama about a man who fought in British parliament to abolish the slave trade. Despite it being a British film, it doesn't feel like a Morality Play at all - no woke casting or woke characters, no lecturing. In addition, the acting is beautiful and the pacing is good. Classy film.

Incredible
One of my favorite tongue in check sci-fi films of all time. Brilliant acting, superb script, excellent special effects (for it's time). Pokes fun at where society could go. This is NOT a serious sci-fi film, but it's definitely not a spin on Spaceballs. It's just a great film with humor. Weakest actor was the President, but even he had a place in the film.

No Logic
I wanted to like this film since I love westerns in general. I'm also enthusiastic for anything that competes against Hollywood's grip on entertainment. Great filmography, ok acting, terrible script. Not boring, just illogical and stupid. Very difficult to watch. I had to stop about mid-way through, even though I wasn't bored. It was just that illogical. Only "wokeness" would be the girl power and even that's debatable in this film.

Woke AF
Take everything fun about Hulk, toss it out the window and add a green lady in a suit. Wizard of Oz? No! Just feminazi She-hulk. Pllt. No fun, just... tampons.

No woke
A rare documentary from Netflix that doesn't wave transgender drag queens in your face. Just the facts.

Woke free
A satirical comedy which is a breath of fresh air this day and age. No woke. Anti woke, if anything!

Decent movie, awful lead
Prey is a movie trying to be a lot of things, a successful reboot of the franchise after some let downs, a "return to roots" sort of flick and one that tries to tread the lines of wokeness, but being a Disney property now... they just can't help themselves.
The main protagonist Naru (Amber Midthunder) is... tolerable at best. While they didn't go the Rey "Mary Sue" Skywalker route, she does have some way too modern sensibilities and in the final act she is far too capable to be believable.
Firstly, she is constantly shirking the roles of her tribe, she is backed up by her brother Taabe (Dakota Beavers) who mainly defends her position within the tribe as sort of a tom boy try hard who REALLY wants to be a hunter (and shes VERY angsty about it). Taabe is actually a very well rounded character, and honestly, if he were the protagonist and the roles were reversed in this film, it would be far better off.
The real issue is the way they all speak to each other, it's clear the casting is an attempt to have more diversity, but I appreciated the consistency of indigenous characters. The issue here is this, they want to make these characters relatable to modern indigenous people, so they all talk that way, they use a very modern vernacular and vocabulary that is just ridiculously out of place for the time period this film is set in.
Another issue, and this is a bit nitpicky I suppose, but there is an issue with the way Naru herself looks... for someone who claims to be a capable hunter, and who practices it, despite everyone else asking her not to and directly inconveniencing her tribe most times, for all of that, she still looks soft and way too out of shape. The actress herself is "thicc" to say the least, and has WAY too much meat on her to be a real warrior in a tribe struggling to survive in the 1700s. It's most evident in the scene where she is running from the Predator and you can see how really un-atheletic she is.
Finally, in the final act, the engagement between her and the predator and the inevitable conclusion is extremely tedious and takes some serious suspension of disbelief to make your way through it. There are so many inexplicable decisions made by the Predator and others and so much plot armor for Naru that it's extremely underwhelming.
Overall the movie is entertaining, it has some great acting (by supporting actors) and despite the efforts to ride the line in terms of wokeness.... they couldn't help themselves but include it.
You might enjoy it, you might not, depends on your ability to suspend your disbelief and look past the angsty thicc proud indigenous woman schtick and just absorb the gory action and violence.

Woke in Season 2
The mystery of the plane disappearance quickly gives way in season 2 to woke characters and interactions.

Talented musical 'covers', 24/7 woke
Characters are developed slowly, but pretty well. Sloppy contradictions and lack of believability is rampant. Musical numbers and covers are well-done and show a lot of talent and creativity. The wokeness is off the charts with molasses thick preachy themes, scenarios, and utterly ridiculous concepts and principles. Definitely Ryan Murphy's wet dream of propaganda and cultural influence.
