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

Phase IV is about as far from woke as you can get: it’s an old-school, atmospheric science fiction movie with scientists, existential dread, and not a trace of 21st-century identity politics. Rest easy, no forced representation or preachy messaging here.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Phase IV focuses on a science fiction story about the evolution of ants and humanity’s place in nature, not on identity themes or forced diversity. The narrative prioritizes suspense and philosophical speculation rather than modern ideological messaging.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There is minimal attention to religion, family, or gender roles. The film’s primary theme questions humanity’s dominance and relationship with nature, but it does not overtly undermine traditional values or revise history in a modern ideological framework.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film is concerned with existential and scientific questions, not culture war issues. There’s no detectable push for contemporary ideological uniformity or villainization of dissenting viewpoints. Conflict is between humans and ants, not ideologies.
