Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Space Cowboys is classic non-woke fun, focusing on seasoned male astronauts given one last heroic mission. Casting and storytelling emphasize grit, experience, and camaraderie, not identity checkboxes. Character arcs build off skill, rivalry, and redemption, no agenda-driven shortcuts or forced representations to be seen.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film positively portrays traditional virtues: friendship, sacrifice, perseverance, and even a touch of old-school masculinity. There’s genuine respect for family, heritage, and heroism, and nothing feels rewritten or sneered at in the name of modern ideology. You’d be hard-pressed to find any serious undermining of classic cultural themes.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the film doesn’t go out of its way to offer alternative worldviews, it avoids caricaturing or attacking traditional values. The focus is more on teamwork and overcoming bureaucratic obstacles, not moral posturing. It reflects Hollywood’s less ideological era, where different perspectives naturally existed on screen.
