Content at a glance
More filled segments mean stronger content.
Sex & Nudity
No sexual content or nudity; the adults share a single kiss near the end.
Violence & Gore
Frequent peril, including a storm, a piranha attack and a dinosaur chase, with some creatures attacking. Little blood is shown. Max's body is found in his cave, a death that has happened before the story begins, and the film does not dwell on it.
Profanity
Very little strong language, with only mild expressions.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
No alcohol, drugs or smoking.
Frightening Scenes
Several tense sequences, including being trapped in a collapsing cave, a fall into a deep hole, a lightning storm, a piranha attack and an albino Giganotosaurus chasing Sean. These are frequent and intense, though the main characters survive each one.
Positives & learning
More filled segments mean stronger positive content or learning value.
Positive messages
Family bonds and the value of knowing one's relatives are central, as Trevor and Sean grow closer while searching for Max.
Role models
Trevor is a caring, resourceful uncle who protects Sean and sacrifices for him, while Hannah is brave and capable.
Representation
The cast is largely Western, with Hannah as an Icelandic guide, but there is little deliberate focus on diversity.
Learning
Volcanology, geology and the idea of the Earth's interior are woven into the story, with references to Jules Verne's novel.
