Mars Attacks!1996

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

Mars Attacks! is quintessential non-woke mayhem, parody, chaos, and irreverence reign, with zero focus on contemporary ideological narratives. If anything, it's an equal-opportunity mocker. Not a woke bone in this alien invasion's body.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Mars Attacks! is a satirical sci-fi comedy that focuses on parodying classic alien invasion films rather than pushing modern identity politics. Characters are intentionally broad and ridiculous, with no forced diversity or ideological box-checking apparent. Storyline prioritizes absurdity over political messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film pokes fun at American political, military, and social institutions, but in a way that's universal, slapstick, and rooted in 1950s pulp sensibilities. It doesn't actively undermine traditional values, and religious or cultural commentary is played for laughs rather than direct criticism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Mars Attacks! lampoons everyone in equal measure and doesn't push a singular modern worldview. If anything, its approach is irreverent and pluralistic, never taking itself seriously enough for monocultural messaging.
