Surrogates2009

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

Surrogates is refreshingly non-woke by modern standards. Its focus rests squarely on technological critique and classic sci-fi themes, with minimal intrusion of current identity-based narratives. For those tired of Hollywood’s constant moralizing, this is a rare palate cleanser.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Surrogates focuses on a sci-fi plot about technology, humanity, and disconnection. There’s little evidence of forced representation or overwrought identity politics. Character roles are filled logically, serving the story’s themes rather than any particular ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family and human connection are portrayed positively. Masculinity, morality, and personal responsibility are central to the lead’s arc, and there’s no attempt to undermine these cultural foundations or rewrite history for modern sensibilities.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the world is somewhat dystopian, ‘Surrogates’ doesn’t villainize dissent or traditional values. There’s pluralism and some debate about technology, but little sign of an ideological monoculture.
