Parents Guide

• Sex None

  Rocky offers a fist bump but says "Fist my bump" instead. It's played for laughs.

  There is a picture of a couple kissing shown through memory card although you can barely see it the scene stays for 2 seconds.

  A very brief reference to people "hooking up."

  A joke about "Fisting" is made (non-explicitly), as a tie to the term "Fist-bumping"

• Violence Mild

  A blast from a huge explosion throws people to the ground.

  There is infrequent sight of blood in the aftermath of an accident and dead bodies.

  Undetailed references to suicide are made.

  A man is chased through a field, then tackled to the ground and drugged.

  A man's arm is burned by being touched by an alien, but you don't see the incident due to dramatically flashing light in the scene. You do hear the skin sizzling and see the healed burn later.

  A ventilator tube is pulled from a man's throat, and he coughs up liquid several times.

  A man throws up several times, but manages to grab an orange cone to throw up into.

• Profanity None

  Surprisingly mild. No curse words. Only 1 use each of "p**s". And 2 uses of "Oh my God".

  Ryland is very close to saying the F-word at one instance, he ended up saying 'what the fudging fudger' instead.

• Drugs Mild

  Ryland drinks vodka in the beginning of the movie.

  People are drinking in a bar.

  Lyrics in a song ("Sunday Morning Coming Down" by Kris Kristofferson) refer to being stoned.

  Ryland says in one scene, "It's been a long time that I've taken a pill from a stranger without knowing what it was." while receiving a pill for G-Forces in a fighter jet.

• Frightening Scenes Moderate

  The loss of control of a spaceship causes an astronaut to be knocked unconscious. There is intense music and dramatic flashing lights.

  There's a jump scare when another character suddenly appears for the first time.

  Very emotional at times.

  Many references to suicide and self sacrifice.

  Contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
