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

Trancers represents a relic of pre-woke Hollywood: classic, straightforward storytelling, no forced identity politics, and a refreshing lack of ideological posturing. Action and adventure are front and center, not lectures.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Trancers sticks closely to classic sci-fi action tropes, focusing on storytelling, character motivation, and genre fun. Characters are developed based on personality and role, not identity checklists. The film avoids any forceful injection of modern representation.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional values like family and heroism are respected. Masculinity is played straight, and there’s little to no subversion of gender roles or rewriting of culture. It’s refreshingly free from attacks on religion, tradition, or classic moral frameworks.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no overt ideological push or one-sided worldview. The narrative is apolitical by today’s standards, so alternative, traditional perspectives aren’t mocked or villainized; they’re just not the topic.
