The Recall (2017) | How Woke Is It?

Our VerdictNot Woke

The Recall2017

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 Recall is refreshingly non-woke, opting for genre basics over agenda. There's barely a whiff of 2010s identity politics. Just a straightforward alien invasion romp, Hollywood could use more like it.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The Recall is a pretty standard sci-fi action flick that prioritizes popcorn thrills over any obvious ideological tinkering. Character focus is on survival rather than checking boxes, and casting appears fitting rather than forced.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There are no heavy-handed attacks on tradition, masculinity, or family here. If anything, the plot goes old school with friends banding together, classic gender dynamics, and minimal virtue signaling.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Don't expect any lectures or on-the-nose social commentary. Dissenting worldviews aren't explored, but it's because the movie sticks to its core genre, not any ideological crusade.
