Center

Primary

Political: CenterConfidence: High

Despite an initial premise of Earth's environmental collapse, the film quickly becomes an apolitical sci-fi survival story, focusing on human ingenuity and teamwork against a hostile environment and a rogue AI, rather than exploring the political implications of its setup.

Diversity: ModerateConfidence: High

The film features visible diversity within its ensemble cast, including a female commander and a Latino crew member, without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles. Its narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities, with DEI themes not being central to the story.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

The film "Red Planet" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on a science fiction survival story on Mars, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences present in the plot or character arcs.

FemPower: NoConfidence: High

The film features Kate Bowman as the female mission commander, who remains on the orbiting space station. She does not engage in any direct physical combat. The action on Mars primarily involves male characters and a rogue robot.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

Red Planet is an original science fiction film from 2000. It is not an adaptation of pre-existing material, nor does it feature historical figures. All characters were created for this film, meaning there is no prior canon from which a character's gender could have been established and subsequently changed.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

Red Planet is an original science fiction film from 2000, not an adaptation of pre-existing material or a reboot. All characters were created for this specific movie, meaning there is no prior canonical or historical race to compare against. Therefore, no race swaps occurred.
