In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Clockstoppers plays it safe as an early-2000s teen sci-fi flick. It avoids modern 'woke' pitfalls, focusing instead on popcorn storytelling with a harmless sense of adventure. For those bothered by recent trends, this one's a nostalgic palate cleanser.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Clockstoppers focuses on a sci-fi teen adventure with fairly traditional character roles. Casting decisions seem driven by story demands rather than ideological checkboxes, and identity factors don't overshadow the personalities or arcs at play. No forced representation to speak of here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Family relationships and personal responsibility are actually encouraged within the story, and traditional parent-child tensions are used for drama, not ridicule. Masculinity isn't pathologized; it's taken for granted as background. No glaring shots at cultural values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a straightforward teen adventure, with little attention paid to hot-button modern ideological topics. Alternative perspectives aren't mocked or villainized, if anything, the movie barely wades into those waters.
