Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is a classic sci-fi thriller focused on paranoia and identity, not modern ideological messaging. Characterization is driven by story needs, not by checking representation boxes. There's virtually no sign of forced diversity or the typical trappings of today’s woke narratives.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film explores societal trust and individualism, it does so through a suspenseful, apolitical lens. Family, religion, and masculinity are not the targets of mockery or deconstruction. If anything, traditional values of autonomy and reason are celebrated against the collectivist threat.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative viewpoints are considered within the context of its ‘alien replacement’ allegory. There's no heavy-handed caricature of dissenters or traditionalists and no ideological monologue, just a chilling portrayal of invasion and conformity.
