Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

A.R.O.G focuses primarily on parody, humor, and sci-fi adventure, with little sign of characters being cast for ideological reasons. It centers on the lead’s personality and comedic flaws, rather than on checking any diversity boxes or emphasizing identity over storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film pokes fun at various aspects of culture but does so in a broad and irreverent way, not specifically targeting family, religion, or masculinity as backward. It mostly satirizes historical and prehistoric settings for comedic effect, rather than using them as vehicles for modern ideology.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

A.R.O.G does not seem concerned with promoting a single worldview or demonizing traditional perspectives. The humor appeals to a wide variety of sensibilities, and differing viewpoints are played for laughs, not villainized or made monolithic.
