Colossus: The Forbin Project1970

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

“Colossus: The Forbin Project” is refreshingly non-woke. Its focus stays on AI, control, and human agency rather than contemporary identity politics. If only more recent films took this approach!

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s narrative focuses on the dangers of unchecked technology and artificial intelligence, with characters chosen for their roles and not their identities. There’s no sign of modern forced representation or identity-driven casting that’s common in today’s Hollywood.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film does critique governmental and scientific hubris, it doesn’t go out of its way to subvert traditional values or mock faith, family, or masculinity. The central themes are technological, not cultural revisionism or gender role commentary.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Dissent and debate between characters are central to the film’s plot. Alternate perspectives, especially on authority and ethics, are represented fairly. There’s no sense of a rigid modern ideological monoculture imposed on the story.
