What We Think

Extinction (2018) is refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards. It prioritizes story and character over ideology, maintains traditional cultural foundations, and avoids the usual Hollywood ideological groupthink. A sci-fi film more interested in robots than lectures.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Extinction focuses on a sci-fi thriller plot centered on a family man, with character arcs driven primarily by the story rather than ideology or forced identity politics. There is no obvious emphasis on casting choices to tick diversity boxes, nor are any characters unrealistically flawless or politically overcharged.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family, responsibility, and parenthood are present and play significant roles in the film. There’s limited evidence of religion or masculinity being undermined, and classic family dynamics remain intact throughout the story.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t strongly push a singular modern ideological message; alternative or traditional viewpoints aren’t mocked or villainized, nor is there excessive moral lecturing.
