Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film’s story and characters are primarily concerned with exploration, wonder, and existential questions rather than identity politics. Characters are selected for their skills within the Starfleet context, with minimal emphasis on race or gender as defining traits. Representation is natural and not forced.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no real subversion of traditional culture, family, or religion. Masculine heroism (Kirk, Spock, McCoy) is at the forefront, and the film respects hierarchy and tradition. There’s curiosity rather than mockery regarding higher powers.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film generally sticks to optimistic humanism, but doesn’t go out of its way to villainize those with alternative perspectives. While progressive for its day, it’s not pushing a modern ideological monoculture agenda.
