Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central conflict revolves around an existential alien threat and human survival, which are largely apolitical sci-fi horror tropes. Its narrative does not explicitly promote or critique specific political ideologies, leading to a neutral rating.
The movie features primarily traditional casting with no explicit DEI-driven recasting of roles. Its narrative focuses on a science fiction horror plot without critiquing traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
Secondary
The film portrays Christianity through characters like Father Hargreaves, who earnestly attempts to combat the alien threat with spiritual understanding. While traditional religious methods prove ineffective against the unique cosmic evil, the film does not ridicule the faith or its adherents, treating their beliefs with respect and sympathy rather than portraying them as foolish or hypocritical.
Lifeforce, a sci-fi horror film, primarily explores themes of alien vampirism and human survival. The narrative does not include any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or explicitly address queer themes, resulting in no direct portrayal of LGBTQ+ identity or experiences within the story.
The film features a primary female alien antagonist whose method of incapacitating or defeating opponents is through a supernatural life-draining ability, not through direct physical combat such as hand-to-hand fighting or the use of melee weapons. No other female characters engage in or win physical combat against male opponents.
