Resident Evil leads by 21 points on the AI scale.

Why the scores diverge

  • The 21-point gap reflects how much ideology steers each story on our six-dimension pass, not just vibes.
  • Resident Evil highlight: The dialogue primarily serves the horror and survival narrative with minimal overt ideological messaging.
  • The Machinist highlight: The dialogue in The Machinist serves the psychological thriller narrative without overt ideological or moral lecturing, keeping the focus on the protagonist's mental state and unraveling mystery.
  • Resident Evil: Characters appear to be motivated by survival and plot needs rather than symbolic representation or tokenism.
  • The Machinist: Characters are developed with depth and complexity, avoiding tokenistic roles or symbolic representation; the strange man following Trevor is integral to the plot rather than a message vehicle.
