What We Think

Resident Evil: Extinction is mostly a straightforward action-horror flick without much of the ideological posturing or woke trappings that have come to define modern Hollywood output.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Resident Evil: Extinction mainly focuses on action and survival horror tropes, with the lead played by Milla Jovovich being tough but actually built up across the trilogy. It doesn’t seem like traditional skills or story tension are sacrificed just to push identity politics.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t spend much time criticizing traditional values, family, or religion. Masculine and feminine traits are mixed for action, but that’s typical for the genre, rather than a preachy statement against traditional gender roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s not much in the way of ideological lecturing; antagonists are evil corporations and mad scientists, not stand-ins for any particular worldview. Traditional and alternative perspectives aren’t really a concern in this zombie apocalypse.
