What We Think

"Pacific Rim: Uprising" mostly sticks to giant robots and monster brawls. There’s a nod to diversity here and there, but it doesn’t turn the film into a lecture. Overall, it’s far from peak wokeness and focuses more on fun than ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

"Pacific Rim: Uprising" leans into some modern identity representation but doesn’t go overboard. Characters are diverse, but their backgrounds don’t completely overshadow their roles or skills in the narrative. The focus mostly remains on action and spectacle over ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t put much effort into undermining traditional values or mocking masculinity, family, or religion. It follows a fairly standard sci-fi action approach without deriding traditional cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There is an increase in diverse representation compared to the first film, but alternative or non-progressive perspectives aren’t directly mocked or villainized. Still, there’s a clear absence of dissenting worldviews or debate, everyone is basically on the same team.
