What We Think

The Omega Man is about as non-woke as Hollywood gets. Its focus is on classic action and existential themes, with minimal trace of the modern woke elements rampant today.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Omega Man is a classic post-apocalyptic film, focused on survival and human nature rather than pushing modern identity politics. Characters are driven by role and circumstance, with Charlton Heston leading in the traditional action-hero mold. Representation feels organic to the plot, not forced by today's standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Masculinity and traditional heroism are front and center, with religious and cultural elements portrayed as plot devices rather than targets for subversion. There's no overt dismissal of family, religion, or morality. The film reflects its era’s sensibilities, not 21st-century revisionism.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t showcase rigid ideological groupthink. While it presents antagonists as cult-like, it gives clear motivations rather than broad-strokes villainization of dissent. There’s no mocking of alternative viewpoints in the modern sense, and a range of perspectives is allowed.
