In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation is largely non-woke fare, sticking to established sci-fi tropes and avoiding the heavy ideological focus so common in modern Hollywood. Not groundbreaking, but refreshingly straightforward.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Starship Troopers 2 mostly sticks to classic sci-fi storytelling without overemphasis on identity politics. Characters are defined more by their actions than by their demographic categories, and the narrative doesn’t appear to be sacrificed for ideological purposes.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film maintains a militaristic, traditionally masculine tone. While some gender role subversion exists (as in many horror/sci-fi films), it isn’t extreme or agenda-driven. Religious or family values aren't a primary focus or target for criticism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While the film leans toward the ‘us versus them’ militaristic narrative with little room for nuanced worldviews, this is typical for the genre and not particularly woke. There’s no overt villainization of traditional perspectives or heavy-handed messaging.
