Woke Disaster B-Movie, less real than Sharknado, but ticking more diversity quota boxes - No Way Up review by PV
This is real B-Movie stuff, and very VERY NOW, in its woke casting - even authentic casting with Richard Attenborough's grandson and David's great-nephew Will who identifies as queer and his character has the best lines too!
Well let's hope that from now on only 18th century pirates play 18th century pirates in movies, because authentic casting SO matters. On the other hand, actors could try ACTING, y'know, pretending to be people they are not...
As unrealistic as it is predictable - I could guess who would survive (no spoilers). All very silly by the end and the Iraq War backstory of a Mary Poppins-type English old lady character is laugh-out-loud funny.
Seeing as 90% sharks in the world's oceans have disappeared in the last 35 years thanks to overfishing and the Chinese demand for shark fin soup, I'm amazed any sharks were still living in the ocean where the DEI hires crashed.
Oh well, just coincidence I suppose, just like that fact not ONE straight one man is amongst the cast surviving in the plane underwater (as stated in the blurb so not a spoiler).
In fact, the only straight white males here are the sharks! Maybe they couldn't find black or gay ones eh?
2 stars...
