Type: movie

Year: 2015

Genres: Adventure · Action · Science Fiction

Wokeness Rating: 3.5/5

Feminism Rating: 4/5

ChickFlick Rating: 0.5/5

Commentary: Diverse leads (woman protagonist; Black and Latino co-leads) and an anti-authoritarian/anti-fascist Resistance vs. oppressive regime support a moderate woke reading; minimal explicit LGBTQ+ content. Strong feminist presence via a highly capable female lead and women in command roles, with agency and competence foregrounded. Romance is minimal and not plot-driving; the tone is action/adventure space opera rather than a character-driven romance, hence a very low chick-flick profile.

Ratings Scale: 0=None, 1=Minimal, 2=Light, 3=Moderate, 4=Heavy, 5=Max
