What We Think

The Tomorrow War edges into woke territory at times, but doesn't let identity politics hijack the fun. Traditional values and broad appeal remain intact, with only mild doses of today’s Hollywood ‘mandatory’ representation.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

The Tomorrow War features some token representation and a noticeable push for diverse casting. However, character arcs and motivations mostly remain central, with Chris Pratt's everyman leading the charge. While there are hints of box-checking, the narrative doesn't fully buckle under ideological pressure.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

Traditional family dynamics are present and even drive much of the protagonist's motivation. Masculine heroism isn't mocked, but you do see significant emphasis on strong female and minority characters in combat, suggesting some effort to balance or subvert typical gender roles.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Views in The Tomorrow War are not strongly ideological, and the messaging stays mostly in apolitical sci-fi action territory. There's not much outright villainizing of traditional perspectives, most characters are defined by their actions, not their modern social values.
