I know I've seen this before but couldn't remember it all so gave it a re-watch. It's a typical if cliché disaster movie with nothing really
original but it is entertaining enough. I would say probably a bit better made than average. The acting is pretty good and the FX are overall
pretty decent. The writing isn't great and relies on characters doing some stupid things to move the plot along. This is definitely a turn your
brain off and just watch the movie sort of film. I will say the ending is completely absurd with science and timelines thrown completely out the
window. However I have to disagree with the woke rating of the other review. There is some heavy DEI casting choices made throughout. A lot of the military seems to be female. The next door neighbors at the beginning are black/white mixed race. Then there is very obvious theme of white men bad and black and minorities good. Examples are the pharmacy scene has white males shooting and looting and the black male is nice and lets them go. The white family in the car is bad. The transport truck has the racist white bad male are good black male.
Nobody stops to pick up or check on the mom on the side of the highway except for the good Spanish family. Actually I'm pretty sure every character shown as bad is a white male and every minority shown is a good character. This is watchable particularly if you like disaster movies but there is absolutely a woke aspect to it.

Nothing woke in this Korean series. I like the idea here. A group of survivors needs to escape a building occupied by illegal organ harvesting organization after an earthquake partially collapses it. Every episode is done in a single take style with no cuts. The FX and sets look great and the acting is ok but again the writing and characters are just not good. There's little action with the majority of every episode consisting of characters arguing with each other and repeating the same lines over and over. Every episode drags and feels like it's twice as long as it should be. Character logic makes no sense and there is again nobody likable. For some reason they decided to have everybody constantly talking and nobody shuts up....ever. They are constantly spewing repetitive nonsense. It gets very annoying and I found myself wishing they would just shut up for 1 second. A shorter runtime like maybe a movie instead with a faster pace would of made this much better but as it stands it hard to recommend.

1st episode follows a group of 4 kids, 2 male 2 female. The leader is a pink shaved undercut haired girlboss who is generally unlikable and the
usual feminist type. Always angry and violent with constant bitch face who is much better than all the males. I instantly hated the character and
this is going to be the hero of the show. The male characters are all idiots and the females are smart. The very first 'villain' is a blond haired
male. The male character can't pick a lock so the tiny teenage girl kicks it open, sure. Bar scene has a tiny cowardly male arguing and standing up
to a very large other male then immediately cowers and backs down from a scrawny black purple haired female. The voice acting and animation ore pretty good but the soundtrack and music choices are out of place, terrible and distracting. I could barely make it through the first episode. All you have to do is look at screenshots of the show and you will see DEI characters and female warriors mixed in with lesbian characters kissing. Hard pass on this trash. 1 star for the animation.

This one was so close to being a really good French horror movie. The acting is good, the Lovecraftian story well done and the writing competent. Everything is very dark and claustrophobic with some tense atmospheric moments. There is also a pretty good amount of well done gore and blood FX. Unfortunately around the 1 hour mark when the creature shows up it loses it's way a bit. While the creatures designs is ok they appear to have used a puppet rather than an actor in a suit and it really just doesn't work. The creature barely moves and it's very stiff, slow and jerky in what little movement it does make. It's just not scary when the monster just stands there most of the time and doesn't do anything. As for woke, there is some diversity in the casting, however France did use a lot of immigrants and foreigners in mines at the time so the casting is probably about right. However the Arab immigrant character is the one pushed as the hero and is the mortally superior one and smarter than the rest. The French character Louis is blatantly racist which doesn't make a lot of sense given many of the miners were in fact immigrants at the time. It also goes against the miners statement at the beginning that they are referred to as 'black-faced' because in the mines they are all covered in coal dust and can't tell
the difference in ethnicity anyway. Cant' help but feel that was a little agenda push there. I think it's still worth a one time watch if you like Lovecraftian horror. Just be prepared the second half will be a bit of a letdown.

Really the only thing woke is the token black character. This should of been much more fun than it was. There are no real scares and relied too much on cheap jump scares. The acting is decent, the story is the done before rabid animal attacks variety. The real highlight is the excellent gore FX and some decent kills otherwise pretty average. The biggest weak point is the decision to use an actor in a suit to play the part of the chimp. It is obvious from the first scene on. Everything is off, the movements and actions scream actor and not a real animal. The writing is another weak spot. The plot requires the characters to act like morons and victims the entire time. The house is full of things that could be used effectively as weapons yet not once does anybody grab anything or attempt to fight back. They conveniently ignore or turn their backs to the chimp multiple times to allow it to sneak up on them. Also a lot of the action by the chimp seem implausible or unrealistic. Several scenes meant to be shocking or scary had me laughing instead. The comical cliff dive scene comes to mind. It's not the worst horror movie but don't go in expecting much.

This is a very difficult show to give a woke rating on. Apparently it's meant to be a satire of extreme woke NPR radio station workplace. So it features every single extremely woke trope and buzzword you can think of and every character is an extreme caricature of some degree of woke. The problem is they don't really go far enough in making fun of these people or showing the insanity. It just feels like you're watching a very woke show. It's not funny just very annoying and every character is a disgusting terrible loudmouth SJW. If your not going to make fun of them or actively show how stupid they are than is it really
a satire or just a woke show? These types of people exist and watching and listening to them go about their daily insanity isn't funny it's just irritating. I'm giving this a 2 for woke only because it's not actually meant to be woke but make fun of it, yet somehow still manages to feel like it's woke. If you can tolerate these types of people you may think it's funny, I see enough of these idiots in real life I don't need it in my spare time as well.

episode one opens in Quebec with 2 black police officers and of course the female one is in charge. Very small black population there but sure whatever. The lead female is an obese screeching harpy who I instantly hated. Based on a true story but actually has pretty
much nothing to do with the true story. Another modern show loaded down with unlikable characters. Every single character falls into 1 of 2 categories, either mean nasty assholes, or cowering pathetic idiots. Why must everything now have horrible characters. The attempts at comedy aren't funny and there are so many scenes that are just uncomfortable and cringe. The acting is fine and it's a well made miniseries. If you don't mind the bad characters you may like this better than I did.
The true story is probably interesting but this is just terrible and after the first episode I just didn't care about most of the characters and actively hated the rest. I had no desire to watch the rest of this. Other than the opening DEI placement I didn't really see anything else to
consider woke in the first episode.

It's not bad enough we have an endless parade of unnecessary reboots of perfectly good old shows but now we have a show about an unnecessary reboot of a fake old show. Seriously? No surprise this was canned after only 1 season. I watched 2 episodes of this crap. How do you have this many capable, funny actors and churn out something so painfully cringe and unfunny. 2 episodes and not one single laugh, although there was a lot of eye rolling. Yet another show
populated by annoying unlikable characters. All the usual woke is present, mixed race couples, a lot of DEI overrepresentation, gay background or secondary characters. The body positive SJW new young female writer that is clever, smart and knows what she's doing. The rich old white male showrunner who's clueless out of touch and just an all around douche. Don't bother, it's not worth wasting time on.

I knew this was aimed more a younger audience but I wanted to see what it's like. First of all the fact this exists gets it a woke rating. For those that don't know Ms Marvel has been around since the 70's and is Carol Danvers. A great character with a rich backstory and history. Then in Marvel's age of woke they replaced her with this pathetic teen Muslim DEI character. So choosing to make this show with the woke version while ignoring decades of character building and history is peak woke. I only made it 1 full episode so this is all based on that. Every second of that episode screams 'we are minorities!!' If you didn't know any better you could think this wasn't even set in the U.S. It's a DEI extravaganza in casting. The lead at one point makes a casual racist comment about how 'It's not brown girls that save the world'. Her school counselor is flamboyant and pretty obviously gay. There is a scene with a
white male teacher mispronouncing her name. This is yet another
show where everyone character is unlikable. The parents are very annoying and actually get mad at and berate her driving instructor for failing her after she literally smashes into his car during the driving test. The lead is an annoying whiney constant victim as soon as she doesn't get whatever she wants. The writing is terrible, the first episode is her trying to convince her parents to let her go to Avengercon. One of her moms biggest issues is she doesn't want her to go out dressed in a tight skimpy outfit. She doesn't even try to show them the outfit which is anything but skimpy, it's literally covered head to toe and not tight at all. Avengercon looks like some kind of sketchy tent set up in an alley somewhere. Disney clearly put no budget into this at all, everything
looks so cheap. The big Avengercon scene at the end of the first episode looks laughably bad. This has the look and feel of a low budget CW or Nickelodeon show it's so childish and cheesy. Then for some odd reason they completely changed the basics of the character from the source material. Her powers are different, the source of her powers and origin are completely different it may as well be a totally different character. I mean if you can't even get the basics of your adaptation right whey even bother, and just because something is aimed at a younger audience doesn't mean you have to flush quality control down the toilet.

Well 5 minutes in and I already absolutely hate the kid and want the character to die off. Spoilers follow but it's all in the first 10 minutes anyway. Movie tells us the white male is an abusive, racist p.o.s. who hates the kid, except it never shows any of that on screen other than 1 loud verbal fight with the kids mother. She than violently attacks and bashes him over the head and left for unconscious. We are not shown or told why. She leaves the idiot moron child behind and escapes. The male comes to and goes outside with a gun. Reasonable after being attacked. The unhinged and apparently mentally deranged child shoots an arrow at him narrowly missing. TWICE! He does nothing but tries to talk the kid down, even though he's holding a gun and the kid is
actively trying to shoot him. Sounds like a violent abusive person to me. The kid than shoots him and dances around singing and celebrating like an absolute psychotic future serial killer. That's not a good start. The writing is pretty bad. A character in a dinner is acting shady talking on the phone and writes down a meeting place and time on a napkin, then immediately crumbles it up and leaves it on his plate and leaves. WTF was the point of writing it down then? This is boring pretentious filmmaking at it's worst. Seems all males are either idiots, violent criminals or both and just all around bad. The females are all innocent victims just trying to survive. 45 minutes of stupidity was all I could take.
