What We Think

"War for the Planet of the Apes" remains impressively non-woke by Hollywood standards, focusing on character, morality, and universal struggles rather than current ideological trends.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

The film focuses on strong character arcs and survival, with minimal emphasis on identity politics. The story is driven by the evolving struggle between apes and humans, and characters are developed based on their actions and choices rather than forced diversity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family, leadership, sacrifice, and morality are built into the narrative. While it explores cruelty and redemption, it doesn't belittle religion, masculinity, or family, staying largely timeless in its values rather than subverting cultural foundations.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn't overtly villainize alternative worldviews; both sides, humans and apes, are shown with complexity. There's some modern sensibility, but no aggressive push toward a singular ideology or mocking of non-woke perspectives.
