Detailed Bias Analysis

Leans Progressive
Primary
The film's central conflict pits the progressive ideals of the Federation (unity, diversity, peaceful exploration) against a villain who champions militarism and isolation, ultimately reaffirming the value of cooperation and a shared future.
Star Trek Beyond features a visibly diverse cast, continuing the franchise's legacy of representation without introducing new race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive framing of traditional identities, while subtly incorporating LGBTQ+ representation through an established character's family.
Secondary
Star Trek Beyond features a brief, non-verbal depiction of Hikaru Sulu with his husband and daughter, confirming his same-sex relationship. This portrayal is incidental to the main plot, neither extensively exploring nor denigrating queer identity, thus resulting in a neutral net impact on LGBTQ+ themes.
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.
