Friedrich's Reviews
THIS MOVIE DOES CONTAIN WOKE INFLUENCE.
It's not a bad movie, it's not great either, but it has, I repeat, it has woke components that are subtly spread throughout the film; pitting socialist ideals against capitalism and disguising these messages through the use of classic folkloric elements of American culture trying to send the message that it's okay to do everything for love. But love does not pay for studies, not even for trained scientists, neither does it pay for the technological apparatus to be able to carry out the research that the storm chasers do in reality. In conclusion, good cinematographic scenes, mediocre story with high budget and ultra stereotyped characters. Period.
EDIT: Just pointing out that I had to raise the "How bad is the wokeness?" score because, even though I already mentioned the elements that make this movie influenced by DEI policies, it seems some people are stubbornly determined to prove otherwise.
So, to make sure there's no lack of references, I'm sharing more foundations you can check out in a "Snyder's Soapbox" article:

A Disney Experiment
This show is the most accurate representation of the WOKE movement in its PUREST ESSENCE. It takes a universe that doesn't have a lot of audiovisual media (but has been successful) and expands it but with the political agenda of the moment and pushes it to the very limits of that frontier. Not only does the series not narratively fulfill the premise of the show's name, it destroys and minimizes it to the point that it takes away the viewer's love for the original universe, making their interest in the story get lost in a feast of parallel messages that build nothing to the story and have nothing to do with the protagonist. Want to see the most woke show of all? Here it is. A perfect parameter to see how the structure of Disney's agenda and the "majors" is shaped.

A classic set in the 70's. Totally enjoyable
With a classic structure set in the 70's, this dramatic comedy only points out some religious issues without giving a political or moral discourse.
