What We Think

Orbiter 9 is a rare sci-fi film that largely avoids ticking the typical woke boxes. It’s a character-driven, traditional narrative that manages to remain focused on storytelling rather than checking off ideological quotas. Refreshingly non-woke.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on a young woman raised in isolation, driven by the plot rather than trendy identity themes. Characters are written for their role in the sci-fi narrative, not defined by modern identity politics. No forced representation or obvious narrative sacrifices for ideology are present.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Orbiter 9 does not aggressively undermine tradition. While family and romance are central, the film doesn’t mock religion, masculinity, or family values, nor does it attempt overt cultural revisionism. Themes of connection, sacrifice, and truth-seeking are handled in a traditional, universal manner.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no heavy-handed villainization of traditional views. Dissenting viewpoints aren’t caricatured; characters make morally ambiguous decisions, but there’s no preachy ideological uniformity. It’s largely free from modern monocultural messaging.
