Pha-Q woke's Reviews
Corny 90's Throwback
Not really woke though it does seem to have a political bent. Journalists are shown as honorable, truthful and trustworthy. The 2 female characters at the beginning seemed to be going the girl boss feminist route but I don't thing that was the intention, just bad writing. Also seems to imply third world dictators aren't really that bad, just manipulated by 1st world countries and rich corporations who want to exploit their resources. The movie isn't really good but it's watchable
in a 90's throwback low budget cringe kind of way. The acting is not very good all around. It's marketed as a action comedy but there isn't much action and the comedy is much more eye rolling miss than hit. The action scenes while well done are very few. The horseback riding scene in particular is laugh out loud bad, with terrible green screen and acting. Despite these problems it is still oddly watchable.

Below Average Horror Anthology Series
Overall not particularly woke though there are a couple episodes with woke elements. These include some obvious DEI and an entire episode of white man racist, minorities good and not racist. This is typical of an anthology series with mostly below average with maybe 2 really good episodes and a couple terrible ones. Not really worth a watch in my opinion.

Cliché and Unoriginal But It's Not Woke
Not really woke. You could argue maybe for some mild DEI and 1 character appears to be gay but he's frequently made fun of. No preaching about race, gender, sex or anything else. The acting is good but this movie been done many times before and not original in any way. Also not really a comedy so much as a drama with comedic elements. It's worth a
watch just don't expect anything spectacular but at least its not woke.

Just Terrible.
So the previous two reviews could both be right. I guess it depends on how you personally see the movie. I tend to see it as very woke. The Gen X fathers are shown as old out of touch problematic toxic males. They are afraid to stand up for themselves against the woke beta male feminist crowd and end up bending the knee admitting they are the problem and then change to become woke 'better' people. Staying silent and giving in makes you a coward and part of the problem. This is the worst thing you can do. The woke idiot infection needs to be called out and ridiculed and giving in does nothing but make them think they are right and make it worse. This is a terrible, awful movie.

Good Disaster Movie That Holds Up Well.
No woke. The FX are still decent for the most part. The acting is pretty good. There is some of the usual clichés and sappy cringe you would expect from 90's summer blockbusters. Still more enjoyable than most modern movies.

Typical Low Budget Asian Action
Not good. All the female characters are in positions of power or the best fighters ever. 1 example a male assassin who's been with the agency forever takes on several dozen male attackers at once and destroys them then a lone female shows up and instantly and easily destroys him. The ultimate trained assassin is a small high school girl. The acting is not great the story is cliché and the fight scenes are badly done. It's the 90's style fights where everyone stands around waiting for their turn to attack.

Poor French Horror with Too Much DEI
France is 85 percent white yet there seems to be an odd casting of mostly anything other than white leading to highly suspect DEI hiring. The acting is average at best. The CG spiders are poor. There isn't much horror here either, mostly drama. What little of the creatures you do see are in low lighting and the action scenes are badly shot and hard to see. Probably done on purpose in an attempt to hide the poor CG. Slow, boring and not worth it.

Wasted Potential
No woke. This had a lot of potential but turned out not so great. The acting is generally good. The problem is with the writing. Why make the 2 boys so stupid at the beginning but turn them into bad ass survivalists at the end. There are so many plot and story problems. How did they survive for 15 years without finale happening until just now? Why is one farm boarded up like fort Knox at night and constantly attacked but the other one has no boards on the windows at night and livestock
roaming around freely? What happened? What are the creatures? What do they want or what is their purpose? Not addressed at all. Speaking of the creatures...wow. They look like bad 80's horrror movie rejects. Just hilariously bad looking. It can still be stupid fun and it's not all bad. If you like post apocalypse type movie you may find it worth watching. At least it's not woke.

More Woke Modern 'Horror"
DEI casting and the usual strong, good female characters to the male bad incompetent ones. The ending is right out of the leftist girl power feminist handbook. Calling this a horror movie is a stretch. It's more like a comedy or a bad parody of vampire movies. The characters are idiots and all unlikable. They make the dumbest decisions and do the stupidest things possible. The acting is pretty bad all around but especially by the Dean character. How he ever made it on screen is incredible.
It's painfully obvious he's bombed out of his mind during this and can barely stand up in several scenes. It's almost impossible to understand anything he says as it's badly slurred and mumbled. It's like trying to make sense of a Biden speech. For those that don't know the actor OD'd and passed shortly after this. How this did well in theaters is
unbelievable and a setback for horror movies in general.

Leftist Woke Trash
A ton of DEI hires, 2 mixed race couples, white mother with a black daughter. so possibly 3. Illegals and poor people virtuous, rich people bad. Also pushed climate change and declares conservatives as deniers are evil. Obvious comments about the government being rascist by referring to 'Asian Crisis'. It's so obviously a leftist attack movie on anyone who isn't brainwashed like them. All the white children are selfish unlikable terrible people with only the adopted Spanish kid being a good person. The acting is pretty bad. The writing is stupid. This is not entertainment it's a straight up propaganda piece.
