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

The Machine is not particularly woke by modern Hollywood standards. Its focus remains on AI ethics instead of ideological themes, making it a rare non-woke entry for its genre and era.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Machine largely focuses on AI, ethics, and the nature of humanity rather than pushing identity politics. Characters are developed for their personality, motivations, and role in the story, not as vehicles for forced representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family and morality are present, though they are sometimes used as points of tension or conflict rather than targets for subversion. Gender roles are not a big focus, and there is little indication of modern ideological rewriting.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film allows some moral ambiguity and debate about technology and its uses. It does not vilify dissent or promote a single worldview, instead presenting ethical dilemmas for the audience to consider.
