Interstellar (2014)

What earned the score

• Woman Among Mission Scientists

  Amelia Brand joins the scientists undertaking the mission through the wormhole, placing a woman in a prominent scientific and space-exploration role.

• Planetary Ecological Collapse

  A planet-wide blight and dust crisis leaves humanity able to grow little beyond corn and makes Earth’s survival the central stakes. The ecological catastrophe drives the film’s premise, though it is not framed here as a consequence of human greed or ignorance.

Parents Guide

• Sex None

  A brief kiss at the last 30 minutes of the movie.

  A character confesses to being in love with another character.

• Violence Mild

  A character is killed in a explosion, no blood, the building just blows up.

  A man is punched in the face.

  One man grabs a tire iron in preparation of fighting another man, but the conflict never occurs.

  A man is swept away and killed by a massive tidal wave; his dead body is seen in the water. Two die in two perilous explosions which kills them; a man is attacked, has his face mask cracked and then begins struggling for air but survives. Intense sequences, but very little violence at all.

  There is one brief fight on a snowy planet. The characters punch and throw each other. Not graphic or bloody at all.

  A fight scene with no blood shown. Astronauts fight, one pushing another off a cliff, and the two wrestle in their space suits. One cracks the visor of the other's helmet, hoping to murder him. He survives by breathing in less air. The wringling and withering of the astronaut with the cracked visor is intense, and some might expect some physical deterioration, but none is shown, and the character survives.

  A character is killed without blood or violence. A character is killed after being thrashed around by a giant wave of water. His body is shown floating in the water later on.

• Profanity Mild

  1 use of "son of a b**ch"

  7 uses of "s**t".

  1 use of "goddammit" by Cooper. 6 uses of "Ass".

  There is 1 F-bomb, along with a few other profanities such as s**t, d**n and b**ch.

  Mild to moderate range with 2 uses of f**k, several uses of s**t and other swear words.

  One character calls another a dumb ass, which is quickly combated by shut up.

• Drugs None

  An adult has a glass of liquor, implying that he is coping with difficult information.

  Two men drink out of beer bottles.

• Frightening Scenes Moderate

  The goodbye scene between Cooper and young Murph (early on in the movie when he decides to take on the mission) is emotionally excruciating. She begs him to stay but then refuses to speak to him when it is revealed he doesn't know when he will return. When he finally leaves she runs out of the house calling "Dad!", but she is too late and he has already driven off.

  The ending is by far the saddest scene. Cooper visits Murph in the hospital when she is old and dying, and they have a moment together.

  When Cooper is stuck in a tesseract (5th dimension) which is home to time and space, he watches himself leave Murph's room while Murph is crying in her bed, While Cooper is watching his past he begins to cry, shout and say "don't let me leave Murph" knowing he should have regretted his decision, this scene may be intense or emotional for some viewers

  A character driven mad by isolation tries to kill another character, but fails. He eventually dies of an explosion.

  Several video messages are seen being sent and received, to characters which the sender thinks are dead. There is a lot of emotion on both sides.

  A character deliberately and unexpectedly drops their part of a spaceship into a black hole, to give a reaction force so that another character can escape.

  Most of the scenes in space toward the end of the movie are very intense.

  The movie can be very emotional in some parts.

  The last 40 minutes of the movie is not appropriate for photosensitive viewers.

  Two spaceships are sent into a black hole, an astronaut is in one of them. Some viewers would expect that he would be killed, but he survives.
