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

Welcome to Raccoon City is surprisingly non-woke for a modern reboot. While it features a diversified cast, it avoids most modern ideological pitfalls and stays focused on scares, gore, and video game nostalgia.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City focuses primarily on adapting video game source material and atmosphere, rather than shoehorning in modern identity-driven narratives. There is some diverse casting, but it doesn't feel out of place or overly forced, and personality and skill generally drive character decisions.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family, faith, or masculinity aren't central, but the film doesn't go out of its way to undermine them, either. It's mostly interested in horror and survival rather than offering cultural critiques or ideological subtext.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There is little attempt to villainize traditional perspectives or mock differing worldviews. The movie sticks to the Resident Evil formula: corporations bad, zombies worse, small-town folks just trying to survive. No heavy-handed modern moralizing detected.
