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

Infestation is refreshingly non-woke, instead opting for old-school monster movie fun without ideological baggage. No obvious forced representation or agenda, just a goofy fight against giant bugs.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Infestation largely focuses on traditional genre storytelling and character archetypes. There's little evidence of characters being defined primarily by modern identity markers or having their arcs warped for ideological reasons. Casting and development appear natural for a creature feature.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film neither satirizes nor attacks traditional institutions like family, faith, or masculinity. Gender roles remain fairly classic, and any subversions are played for broad humor rather than ideological statements. Nothing in the plot screams woke revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There aren't any major attempts to villainize traditional perspectives or force-feed a monolithic ideology. Characters come from various backgrounds and worldviews, and the film’s conflict revolves around survival, not political messaging.
