Ages 10+, but every child is different

The film features moderate intensity, physical altercations, and thematic elements involving time-travel paradoxes that may confuse younger children. Older kids will better grasp the complex narrative structure and the consequences of the characters' choices.

Content Safety Breakdown

Detailed breakdown of potentially concerning content

Sex & Nudity

1/5

The film contains very mild romantic elements, including brief kissing and some suggestive costuming during futuristic scenes. These moments are brief and not sexually explicit.

Violence & Gore

2/5

There are several instances of slapstick comedy, scuffles, and stylized action sequences. While there is physical conflict, it is generally non-graphic and fits the tone of a sci-fi adventure.

Profanity

2/5

The dialogue includes infrequent use of mild language, such as 'd*mn' and 'h*ll' (used in frustration) and 'b*stard' (used as an insult). The frequency is low and remains well within the standards of a PG-rated film.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

2/5

The characters are occasionally shown drinking in social settings, such as at a bar, and there are brief references to substance use in a dystopian timeline. These scenes are contextual and do not glamorize substance abuse.

Frightening Scenes

2/5

The movie features sequences involving high-stakes time travel, intense chase scenes, and an 'alternate' reality that is depicted as gloomy and threatening. These moments may create suspense for younger children, but are not intended to be horror-oriented.
