Is this the best we can hope for?

While this movie did not reference climate change, it did mention again and again the fact that the number of tornados has increased in the past few years. Also a plus was Glenn Powell's character, who was competent and charismatic.
That said, this is a movie of our time period. The female lead was a genius who knew how to control tornados and single handily saved the day at the end. I'm not saying that women can't be the hero, but in prior decades a male would have been in this role. Additionally, the romance or lack of it is also a sign of our times. The male lead chased after the female lead who remained indifferent for most of the film. It did seem that by the end that would end up together with him following her. I'd give this a 1.5 woke rating.
