Pha-Q woke's Reviews
Is this really what passes for horror these days. What a slow boring slog of a movie. There are no scares at all. There is a presence floating
around a house watching a dysfunctional family and occasionally moving things around. Nothing happens. The acting is average to bad. There is no real story. The weird pov camera shots and movements aren't creepy or scary just gimmicky. While it's not overtly woke there is the must have
mixed race couple with the beta weak white husband and the aggressive nasty snarky Asian wife. Some other DEI background characters aside that's really it. The movie isn't even really bad it's just so pointless and boring.

This has a surprising amount of modern feminism in it. The female lead in the opening scene screws up and gets fellow soldiers killed and
is demoted while we are still told she is one of the best. Then suddenly and for no real reason is just placed as the only female on the
all male team to train to operate mechagodzilla. After an odd training montage that appears to be basic training and nothing to do with actually operating the Mech we are told she is the best of team and will operate the Mech. She is the best at everything, even hand to hand over the male soldiers. Her acting is pretty bad and she mostly just walks around with resting bitch face. The story seems to ignore the original mechagodzilla movies and pretends they never happened.
The FX again are a mixed bag with the miniatures looking better than the very fake looking CG and bad green screen. Mechagodzilla looks like a large plastic toy. The practical FX do look pretty good and there is a fair amount of action if you can take the obnoxious lead female there is some entertainment to be had.

I only lasted about 15 minutes into this but there was nothing woke at that point. How this currently has a 5.9 in IMDB is just proof of fake
ratings. This is typical no budget amateur film school slop. Terrible acting, sound, editing, FX, dialogue and everything else. It's desperately
trying to be an 80's style slasher but fails miserably. Why would you make this over 2 hours long? Cut this down to a fast paced 80-90 minutes and make you bare bones budget go a little farther and you might have a watchable film.

This should of been a fun old school action movie, instead we get a 90's direct to video dud. The acting and dialogue is terrible, the fight
scenes are mediocre and poorly shot. This has every single 80's-90's action cliché you can think of and not in a good way. The bad guys fire thousands of round but always miss everything. There is the usual over representation of minorities in casting and they all appear to be fine upstanding citizens. The villains are Russians, wow how original.

Complete garbage. Dei casting everywhere. The entire first story revolves around racist skinhead nazis and their so called peaceful victims
minorities in their woke bar where the entrance has a giant sign saying 'no racism, not sexism, no hemophobia' The violent nazis show up at
the woke bar and push their way in, then just push some stuff over and call people names and leave, that's it. The snowflake wokies then claim
they were attacked and had their asses kicked so they execute a plan to arm themselves and violently attack and murder the nazis while celebrating how brave they are. There is of course the white male with the Asian love interest to keep the mixed race agenda alive. I hit stop as soon as the second 'tale' started with a white cop going into an ice cream shop and going on a racist sexist rant to the two black females. The acting is terrible the FX are all bad CG. Nothing about this is period accurate to the 80's. This is just some Gen Z woke D-Bags playing dress up and complaining about how bad the past was.

Shyamalan has hit rock bottom with this one. This may actually be worse than the Happening. The writing is so bad and unrealistic I would guess
A.I. was involved with this one. Nobody talks or acts like real people do. Every single scene is the dumbest most unrealistic thing they could
think of. There is so much wrong with the writing I'm not even wasting time listing some of it. Hartnett is fun to watch as the over the top
psycho but that's really all there is to it. Most of the other acting is bad and the story is nonsense. Also I'm not even sure what the point
was, I mean the trailer gives everything away. Even if you haven't seen the trailer everything is revealed within the first 20 minutes or so. There
is no mystery, no tension, no buildup or thrills. Then there's the problem that it's way to long for what little script there is so they spend a large
amount of time basically filming a concert with crowd shots. That's another problem entirely, half this movie seems like a vanity project for the directors daughter to pretend to be a popstar. Spoiler alert...she's terrible. The music sucks and her singing and acting is awful. As far woke it's all the usual stuff, other than the lead villain there are no other white male's other than some background characters. Pretty much all the leads are female and the few more prominent male's are black or Asian. There is a very short scene with a gay character hitting on another male. Way to much DEI casting in general with far more than realistic female police and FBI agents. The 80 year old 4ft female FBI profiler who is on site running the whole show is laughable and looks like she's about to fall over. I'm giving this one star for Hartnett and the only reason to waste time watching this.

This is not a movie it's propaganda. The villain is a rich white right winger and the hero is a p.o.s. lowlife thief who is really just a
victim of society. The usual rich people are bad and poor people are good and just victims of elite society. Most of the movie takes place
inside of the vehicle with constant conversations of a leftist political talking points. The entire premise of the movie is absurd. The ridiculous
amount of money it would cost to have a vehicle made and outfitted like that would seem to indicate the owner is incredibly wealth so then
why would he live in a place like that in the first place? It make no sense at all. At the beginning when he gets locked in he screams and
pounds on the windows at people passing by but never bothers rocking the car back and forth to indicate someone's inside. Also at the beginning when he finds out there are cameras and he has a crowbar he for some reason doesn't bother destroying them. The same issue when the owner starts blaring ear piercing music through the speakers. Never bothers ripping out and destroying the speakers. Just sits there and takes it. The SUV literally pulverizes a man against a wall with a huge explosive bloodspray yet 2 minutes late is driving around in the middle of the day without a drop of blood to be seen on the car. Terrible writing for a terrible movie.

I went into fully expecting this to be woke and to not like it. Surprisingly I didn't really see anything woke. I mean yes the title character is the
usual tiny 100lb female but they don't have her overpowering large men in one on one combat. Everything she does is using vehicles or weapons.
Yes some of the things she is able to do are ridiculous but then so are the men. I don't see the Mary Sue complaint either as she is trained to survive as a child in a wasteland then spends her entire captivity doing nothing then trains with the truck driver and his squad for years. The movie just jumps past all this and its literally a scene transition and its
over. I remember only one other female in the warriors all the rest are men. This is about on par with Fury Road in quality. The acting is all decent with some excellent stunt work and action scenes marred by overuse of mediocre CGI and green screen. I also found the first hour or so to be worst as they really ramp up the weirdness factor and it just feels like a silly self parody. However the second half drops a lot of this and focuses more on the action scenes. The story is a little hard to follow at time with odd scene cuts and transitions that just happen out of nowhere especially in the first half. Everything is over the top in these movies and that's always been the point so lack of realism doesn't really bother me at this point. The writing has some problems and some things make no sense as they are happening. This also has the problem all prequels have in that you already know what happens
and which characters survive. If they are in Fury Road you already know they don't die so there is no real tension in any dangerous situations. All in all not a bad Mad Max movie and if you liked Fury Road you will probably feel about the same with this one.

Only real woke is the mixed race white female black male couple yet again. The acting is fine mostly but the real problem is its just not funny.
It's not really so much bad as its just kind of boring. I found most of the characters and situations either annoying or sad and pathetic but
not funny. There are a few funny lines but they are so few it's really not worth a watch in my opinion.

Overrepresentation in DEI checkmark casting. 6 crew members-1 white female, 1 spanish female, 2 black males, 1 asian male, 1 white male.
This is basically a ripoff of The Thing but in space with a little Alien mixed in. Wholly generic and unoriginal. The acting is all pretty bad, the VFX range wildly from pretty good to just awful. The director (named flying lotus, I shit you not......sigh) is more interested in going for
quick cuts and flashes or attempts at art house visuals and shots than telling an interesting coherent story.
