What We Think

Iron Sky is an absurdist, non-woke sci-fi comedy that targets extremism and political stereotypes with satire, not modern identity politics. It’s more interested in poking fun at everyone than preaching an ideological message.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Iron Sky doesn’t appear to prioritize modern identity politics over story or character. The diverse cast, including a black astronaut, feels more satirical than forced. The film’s tone leans heavily into parody, avoiding the typical narrative derailments of woke filmmaking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The movie satirizes political, national, and cultural institutions but does so in a manner targeting extremism and authoritarianism rather than specifically undermining family, religion, or traditional gender roles. Masculinity and femininity exist here mostly as a basis for comedy, not as targets for modern ideological subversion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film is clearly satirical and critical of many ideologies, it lampoons both far-right and American pop culture excesses rather than enforcing a strict modern ideological consensus. Alternative perspectives are caricatured comedically rather than simply villainized.
