What We Think

The 2014 RoboCop remake stays mostly non-woke, focusing on classic sci-fi themes and avoiding forced messaging. While modern updates are present, heavy-handed ideology or identity politics don’t dominate the narrative. This is as close to ‘old-school’ as a modern reboot gets.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The 2014 RoboCop reboot largely sticks to its sci-fi action roots, prioritizing story over any overt identity politics. Characters are cast for their fit within the narrative, and diverse representation does not overshadow character development. Though modernized, the film doesn’t force identity themes at the expense of plot.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

RoboCop maintains traditional themes like family, duty, and personal sacrifice. Masculinity is neither undermined nor parodied; Alex Murphy’s struggle with identity and agency is treated earnestly. There are no major attempts to subvert gender roles or rewrite cultural values in a heavy-handed way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film features some commentary on corporate power and media manipulation, it avoids portraying dissenting or traditional perspectives as purely villainous. Most worldviews are given reasonable room, and ideological uniformity is not heavily enforced.
