What to know before you start
Content details to help you decide what fits your child.
Sex & Nudity
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
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
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
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
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.
