Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict pits the Federation's ideals of diversity, unity, and peaceful cooperation against a cynical, militaristic, and isolationist ideology, ultimately reaffirming progressive values as the solution.
The movie features a visibly diverse cast, continuing the franchise's tradition, and includes a minor detail of LGBTQ+ representation. However, it does not explicitly recast traditionally white roles with minority actors, nor does its narrative critique traditional identities or center on DEI themes.
Secondary
Star Trek Beyond features a brief, incidental scene portraying Hikaru Sulu with his male partner and their daughter. This depiction normalizes a same-sex family as an accepted part of the future, presented with dignity and without comment, contributing a subtle but affirming message.
The film features Jaylah, a skilled scavenger, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male alien soldiers using a staff and hand-to-hand combat.
Star Trek Beyond does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative, resulting in no depiction to evaluate.
Star Trek Beyond features the established crew from the original series, all portrayed by actors matching their characters' canonical genders. New characters introduced in the film do not count as gender swaps per the definition.
All established legacy characters in Star Trek Beyond are portrayed by actors of the same race as their original counterparts. New characters introduced in the film do not constitute race swaps.
