What We Think

Star Trek V embraces classic adventure and character-driven storytelling, with only light brushes against sensitive topics. Woke elements are virtually absent, making it one of the least woke entries from Hollywood's big franchises.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Star Trek V largely keeps its focus on classic character dynamics and sci-fi adventure. Identity politics and forced diversity are not prominent, character arcs are genuine, and casting fits traditional Trek molds. It's about story and camaraderie, not modern ideological box-checking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film explores faith, religion, and masculine camaraderie without mocking or undermining them. There’s honest discussion about belief, but it’s not preachy or revisionist. Traditional family and heroism are still at the core, though there’s some light critique of organized religion.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Both skeptical and spiritual views get a fair shake here, and the crew features a classic mix of perspectives. There’s actual debate rather than ideological cheerleading. Traditional and alternative viewpoints are portrayed without caricature or villainization.
