What We Think

Oxygen is refreshingly non-woke by today's standards. It’s a suspenseful sci-fi thriller where plot and character trump ideology, offering little of the forced representation or narrative compromise common in modern Hollywood.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Oxygen centers on a single female protagonist in a claustrophobic sci-fi survival scenario. Her identity is not forced nor does the film make her gender the story’s central focus. The narrative is largely driven by suspense and character struggle, rather than overt ideology or identity-based messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family and personal perseverance are actually highlighted, with the main character's drive tied to familial love and human connection. There is no noticeable subversion of gender roles beyond the lead being female, and no undermining of religion or culture.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s worldview is mostly universal, focusing on raw human survival. There’s little to no ideological sermonizing, and it doesn't portray alternative worldviews in a negative or cartoonish light. Dissent and debate are simply not the focus.
