What We Think

Poseidon (2006) is about as non-woke as Hollywood gets these days. The priorities are pure disaster-movie thrills, not progressive messaging. It's refreshingly straightforward, relying on old-fashioned storytelling and heroics.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Poseidon (2006) focuses on disaster survival with little to no attention placed on identity politics. Characters are defined by their actions and resilience, not their demographic traits. The casting and character development fit the context and build tension naturally, rather than forcing modern ideological messaging into the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film does not actively undermine traditional pillars like family, religion, or masculinity. If anything, it uses traditional heroics and familial bonds as core motivators for its characters in crisis, maintaining a culturally neutral or even traditional tone.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren't really the focus here, if anything, the film emphasizes cooperation and individual strength. No clear ideological messaging dominates the story, and no group is villainized for holding traditional values, making for a broadly accessible tone.
