Woke Score
Lower is better
Review
The movie has soldiers fighting dinosaurs in Vietnam with no girl power rewriting, no identity politics, and no activist lectures. The story sticks strictly to recon mission turned survival horror against prehistoric monsters from a Soviet experiment. No social justice elements appear anywhere in the narrative or marketing.
