Even before politics, I always knew that if something has highly rated on RT and poorly on IMDB, then it was likely terrible. It took politics to make me understand why.
Preview looks pozzed as shit; plain-faced dyke’s black (of course) boyfriend kills himself and then she’s attacked by (white) MEN because she… lives in a house alone or something? He probably should have called the movie STRAIGHT WHITE MEN, but that might have been a little too on the nose.
The hero of Ex Machina was the sex robot that got her abuser killed and then locked her future abuser in the basement because he was another man that wanted to control and exploit her sexuality, although that was more of a subconscious desire on his part.
I realize the movie is sophisticated enough that one might not take away that message from the ending but I promise you it's there lol.
Yeah I absolutely loved that movie but I interpreted as a horror tale about the dangers of pretending robots are people. In the end the inventor played by Isaacs was the flawed hero who flew too close to the sun.
But I did understand that the creators likely didn't have that intention.
I did the same thing with HBO's Westworld but the creators made their messaging completely unambiguous in S2 so I had to give it up.
Thinking back on it, it's basically Twitch: The Movie, in which white knight simp gets wrung and hung out to dry by manipulative scheming attention whorebot.
Of course, but it was a fairly subtle allegory (compared to Current_Year), and as other people here have pointed out there were other valid interpretations of it.
Men... does not sound subtle from what I'm hearing.
Sunshine was a pretty obvious culture war bit when it was released.
Good design of the spacecraft, but it was very overt and absurd with it's "Christians EVIL. Science GOOD" message by the end.
That's not woke, and it's not one I'm particularly disinclined to disagree with either. But it's hard to argue the devs weren't already pretty deep in the culture war and it's not surprising they'd go Atheism+
significantly higher critic score than audience score on rottentomatoes you can assume its unsubtly pushing THE MESSAGE

Devs was already woke shit, so no surprise here.
What was woke about Devs?

Watch the trailer. It's pretty clear what the movie is about.
