Generic Woke YA Dystopian Junk

Climate change environmental fearmongering. A lot of DEI casting. Her male friend/ possible love interest leaves and becomes 'pretty' and completely changes and ignores her, she is rescued by a seemingly lesbian admirer and just forgets her childhood friend in like 10 seconds and becomes best friends with the character. Her new love interest is of course a black male. Black trans head of the pretties is played by a mentally ill trans actor. At the beginning she says mirror make me pretty and its just her in professional air brush makeup and contacts. The uglies are just actors without makeup and the pretties are full professional hair and makeup. That's literally it. It's all surface level shallow bs. The acting is ok is suppose with some passable green screen backgrounds. The story is nothing new, and its all been done before in a dozens of YA dystopian books and movies. The action and stunt scenes are awful while the CG is low budget garbage (the bungee jacket scene followed by the hoverboard scenes are laugh out loud bad).

More Anti-White Racism

Given that Brandy is a terrible actor and always has been her casting here is straight DEI. Of course her husband is white. Stepmom is a racist. Her awful acting is front and center in the first 5 minutes and it doesn't get any better. The writing is poor and makes no sense. One scene she's upset that her employment taking away some of her classes and afraid she might lose her job and then a couple scenes later she just suddenly quits because her boss missed their appointment, then the next scene she's complaining about not having money to buy a can of paint. Portrays Christians as crazy racist evil cultists. This is yet another slow boring drama attempting to leach onto the horror genre to trick people into watching. There is nothing scary, no blood or gore, no kills. Just a senile old annoying woman's bodily functions. It's racist anti white trash, nothing more.

Low Budget Nonsense

Some DEI casting. Cheap CG. Acting and dialog are not so good. More bad writing. Terrorists blow up 2 bombs on a bridge trapping and cutting off the police van and they don't bother to immediately call in support even though the enemies take forever to work there way up to the actual transport they want to attack. The main character calls in 911 to report bombs going off and terrorists on the bridge and is told by operator they don't have the authority to dispatch anyone. Also if I'm understanding the badly explained story the woman being transported is a witness set to testify against the villains. That should be a WITSEC program with the U.S. Marshalls not a police prisoner transport as this is a federal military issue, and why would you put your witness who is a target in a bright red jumpsuit? Just one police van with 3 officers and no escort at all. The main villains terrible over acting is laughable every time he's on screen. There's not even any good action to save this low budget stinker.

Wasted Potential

The black friend is a token DEI hire. All the male characters are useless and just there to be killed. I actually don't recall a single female character dying or even really being hurt. Jester character is the highlight and has some creepy moments. The acting is not very good with a couple of average but mostly bat actors. Some awkward dialog and long conversations between characters hurt the pacing. Some jarring editing between scenes as well. Other than the F-bombs its all very PG-13. The blood is minimal with no real gore and the kills are pretty tame. The older sister is a nasty miserable generally unlikable character.

Within 3 min teen male character states he is a lover of boys. DEI heavy casting in the U.K. with an 83 percent white population. White girl is of course instantly attracted to the black kid who naturally the gay white male also wants. The straight white male is a complete p.o.s. who tries to assault a teenage girl and is killed. This is all within the first 20 minutes. By this time it's obvious this is going to be an agenda driven woke fest so that was it for me.

Not Really Horror.

Nothing really woke. Main actress is actually pretty good, everyone else is terrible. The voice on the phone at the beginning is
notably awful. Sounds like someone reading of a cue card. Long drawn out awkward pointless conversations between characters that seem totally unnecessary. All of the dialog is poorly written and seems unnatural. The whole CPS interaction is nonsense. CPS cannot gain access to your home without a warrant. The likelihood of getting on based on 1 single generalized welfare complaint is pretty much zero. Even if you let them in voluntarily they have no authority to just run around your home looking wherever they want much less requesting to see behind a closed door then when denied open it anyway. Then when you find nothing just demand a follow up appointment with your child present. This writer knows nothing about CPS. The entire movie is shot
with minimal lighting making some scenes are to see what's even happening. I checked out at the 40 min mark but based on reviews elsewhere it gets worse as it goes.

Western With a Butch Lesbian

Lead villain character is a lesbian. Leading a dangerous group of men in the early 1900's. Lewis character's attemtp at being
threatening and sinister are a complete fail. She's just comes across as annoying and punchable. There's no real reason these men would follow her around and just take her garbage. Her voice is terrible making a lot of her lines incomprehensible. Multiple characters had chances to kill her and just don't for no reason. Dinklage opening scene is also laughable. He's 4 foot 5 and 100lbs but physically overpowers and beats up a large man with no trouble. The acting is hit or miss. The cinematography and atmosphere are very good, with some better writing and acting and drop the woke crap this could
of been a decent western.

Another Generic AI Gone Rogue Film

Some DEI casting that is as usual the worst acting of the group. Father asks teenage girl if she likes any cute boys and she responds
how do you know I'm not a lesbian, or bi curious, or pansexual or asexual? He says it doesn't matter what she is he's fine with it. There
is a feminist girl power scene with her being victimized by a white male. The main actors are average everyone else not so much. The story
is very cliche for the AI gone rogue genre with nothing new at all. The voice of aia is done poorly as it just sounds like someone
offscreen is talking into a microphone. As is usual for these watered down PG-13 horror movies, no scares and no decent kills.

What Happened to Neil Marshall?

I couldn't make it far enough into the movie to see if it went full woke but it is possible. There is some DEI present. This is amateur hour movie making at its worst. Terrible acting especially by the lead actress who is supposed to carry the film. The dialog and fight scenes are awful. The story is just one big cliché. Two examples early on, the pickpocket sequence at the beginning is so poorly done and obvious they would of been caught in about 30 seconds. The sparring match is laugh out loud bad with the horrible choreography, slow motion punches and exaggerated reactions. All around terrible film. Note to director, stop casting your girlfriend in movies. She can't act.

Surprisingly Good Movie

Nothing woke. There is only 1 black character among a farily large cast so not over representation. The acting is good, the writing and FX are good.
I had never even heard of this movie but was surprised with it. Well made entertaining action movie with some funny moments as well.
