What We Think

Star Trek VI keeps the commentary balanced and rooted in its own universe, steering clear of heavy-handed modern wokeness. A respectful, mature entry that puts story before ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This film focuses on a classic Trek narrative, peace, intrigue, and diplomacy, without foregrounding modern identity politics. Characters are defined by their personality and skill, not box-ticking representation. Allegory is in play, but not at the expense of story or realism.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While Star Trek always leans towards optimistic progressivism, the film largely respects tradition, family, and duty. Masculinity is not vilified (Kirk remains firmly in charge), and cultural traditions (both human and Klingon) are thoughtfully explored without obvious modern revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film explores differing philosophies around trust, prejudice, and peace. Some may say it favors reconciliation, but it doesn't aggressively mock alternative views, there's genuine internal debate, not just cartoonish antagonists or politically-correct sermons.
