What We Think

This one’s a masterclass in heavy-handed messaging. If you enjoy being hit over the head with modern ideology and mockery of traditional values, "Don’t Look Up" delivers in spades. Very high on the woke-ometer.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

"Don't Look Up" leans hard into satire at the expense of character nuance, with many moments where social commentary overtakes genuine story or character development. Identity and ideology often overshadow believable motivations, resulting in flat archetypes rather than compelling individuals.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional cultural anchors like family, religion, and masculinity are depicted as either obsolete or outright laughable. The film treats skepticism or old-fashioned values as backward, and authorities who embody these principles are mostly played for ridicule or villainy.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film aggressively mocks alternative viewpoints, especially skepticism toward scientific or political orthodoxies, presenting them solely through buffoonish or malicious characters. There's minimal space for genuine debate or ideological diversity, everyone 'reasonable' shares the same view.
