What We Think

"Chappie" mostly avoids overt wokeness found in so many newer releases. Despite its surface diversity, it leans into heartfelt storytelling and doesn't hammer viewers with excessively politicized messaging. Non-woke viewers will find little to complain about here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While "Chappie" features a diverse cast and some social messaging, its focus remains firmly on character and story rather than box-ticking. The plot centers on A.I., morality, and humanity rather than pushing identity politics, so any forced representation is minimal.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't take particular aim at tradition, family, or masculinity. If anything, it centers on universal human values (redemption, parental love, innocence) with an oddball cast. Cultural revisionism is not a focal point.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

"Chappie" explores different social strata and moral codes through its characters. While the film has a bit of an anti-authoritarian streak, alternative viewpoints aren't strictly villainized or excluded.
