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

Sunshine is essentially non-woke, focusing on survival and scientific peril over modern ideology. Representation is present but unobtrusive, and there's no ideological axe to grind. If you want good old-fashioned sci-fi drama, this is as non-woke as they come.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Sunshine focuses strongly on narrative tension and character flaws, prioritizing story and survival over preaching any message. Casting choices seem driven by fit for the role rather than identity politics, and character arcs are grounded and realistic, not ideologically supercharged.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This film doesn't spend much time on religious, familial, or gender-based themes, in fact, it largely ignores them, sticking to scientific and existential questions. Traditional values aren't actively undermined; they're simply irrelevant to the story's sci-fi scenario.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There is little evidence that dissenting worldviews are villainized or mocked. The crew is diverse, but dialogue rarely touches on modern ideological themes. Instead, conflicts arise from stress and the mission's stakes, not ideology.
