Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Quatermass and the Pit remains focused on its engaging sci-fi story, with characters defined by their roles and skills rather than their identities. There is no forced diversity or ideology shoehorned in, keeping narrative integrity almost fully intact by today’s standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film reflects a classic mid-century British outlook. While it touches on themes questioning tradition and belief, it does so in the spirit of science fiction inquiry rather than ideological attack. No predictable undermining of family, masculinity, or religion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There's little evidence of ideological monoculture here. The story presents a range of perspectives, skeptics, scientists, religious figures, with genuine conflict and debate, not cartoonish caricatures. Dissenting worldviews are taken seriously, not mocked or villainized.
