What We Think

'Jumper' is blissfully non-woke by modern standards, resisting the urge to preach, revise, or cast for diversity's sake. Just a good old-fashioned sci-fi adventure with minimal virtue signaling. A rare relic from before the Hollywood 'woke' explosion.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'Jumper' focuses squarely on its sci-fi premise and the character's personal journey. There's little evidence of identity-based casting or storylines inserted for ideological reasons. The emphasis stays on action and adventure, not on checking representation boxes, so it remains refreshingly straightforward by modern standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

While not deeply rooted in traditional values, the film doesn't go out of its way to mock or subvert classic cultural touchstones like family, masculinity, or faith. If anything, the protagonist's journey reflects personal responsibility and family struggles without ideological spin.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no heavy-handed push toward a single worldview, nor are dissenting or traditional perspectives painted as villains. The whole film is more interested in teleportation than political messaging. No ideological browbeating here, just escapist fantasy.
