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

I Origins keeps its focus on philosophical inquiry and genuine character arcs, steering clear of classic Hollywood wokeness. It’s more about science versus faith than identity politics, refreshingly non-woke amidst a sea of heavy-handed message movies.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s central narrative focuses on science versus faith, with character arcs rooted in personal growth and philosophical dilemma, rather than identity politics. Casting and character focus appear to align with story needs rather than ticking diversity boxes. Traditional character development predominates.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the movie does question religious and spiritual beliefs, it doesn’t outright mock or undermine faith, family, or traditional roles. Instead, it explores tension between belief and skepticism in a mostly respectful manner. Masculinity and femininity aren’t subverted or pathologized.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

I Origins presents a range of perspectives: scientific skepticism, spirituality, and belief, giving meaningful voice to contested worldviews. There is no clear push for ideological uniformity, and dissenting positions are treated with some nuance and complexity.
