Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

This sequel mostly sticks to popcorn adventure and dino mayhem. Casting and character development are driven by classic blockbuster priorities rather than a checklist of representation. There's no overt ideological messaging pushing identity over story or merit. Any nods to contemporary values are light and don’t hijack the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional family, masculinity, and science-all-find-their-place storytelling rules the day. There’s very little undermining of religion or traditional gender roles. The film throws in a few strong female moments but nothing that’s aggressively subversive for its era.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a standard adventure-movie take on good and bad, and while there are environmental themes, there’s no vilification of dissenting characters based on ideology. It’s fundamentally a monster movie with little to suggest a forced monoculture or villainization of tradition.
