What We Think

Rollerball (2002) is your typical early-2000s action movie with little in the way of overtly woke themes. It’s more interested in stunts and spectacle than preaching identity politics, landing it a refreshingly low score on the woke-o-meter.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Rollerball (2002) is more interested in extreme sports spectacle than shoehorning identity politics. The casting choices and character development largely follow action movie conventions, focusing on competition and survival rather than ticking diversity boxes or sidelining narrative integrity for modern ideological concerns.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no noticeable subversion of family, religion, or traditional gender roles. Instead, the film emphasizes athleticism and corporate greed, a fairly standard theme for early 2000s action flicks. If anything, the critique is on corporate power, not traditional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives exist mainly as part of the anti-corporate narrative. Traditional values aren’t mocked or vilified, though there’s little genuine exploration of differing worldviews. Still, it doesn’t hammer a progressive agenda or force ideological uniformity.
