ASSIGNED NUMBERS |

Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context. |

Environmental story taking place in Africa, about two
teenagers crossing the Kalihari desert on foot, while trying to avoid ivory poachers.
SEX/NUDITY 0 - A few kisses, that's all.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Elephants are mowed down with automatic weapons; a poacher
is shot at point blank range. A group of people are slaughtered -- though we only see the
results, not the act. A man is caught in a mine explosion. Another man is shot and dropped
from a helicopter. Nevertheless, it's all "movie" violence and there's nothing
explicit.
PROFANITY 3 - Religious parents may object to the use of the Lord's name
(it's invoked once). Also some scatological language and an assortment of other
profanities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Illegal ivory trade, the slaughter of endangered animals.
MESSAGE - One should not hunt endangered species.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
