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. |

A send-up of cheesy '50s sci-fi flicks.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Kissing, sexual innuendo, butt cleavage, women scantily clad
and showing cleavage, a trailer is rocking and a couple inside are moaning (we briefly see
thrusting with the man on top, but no nudity other than bare shoulders).
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - Lots and lots of explosions, lots of people are shot with
Martian weapons which vaporize them into skeletons. Shooting with guns, falls, things fall
on top of people and crush them, fistfights and punches, a man is impaled with some blood
on his chest, a man is made smaller and then squashed. Many Martian heads explode into
green goo. The Martians are gross-looking and twice we see Martian autopsies. A man's
finger is bitten off and we see the bloody stump -- and bloody finger as fish in an
aquarium nibble at it. A woman is left holding a bloody hand when her boyfriend is
vaporized, animals are burned and vaporized, body parts are floating in jars and Martians
play with body parts. A dog's head is grafted onto a woman's body, the woman's disembodied
head screams and is later seen on the dog's body. A man's head (with bloody stump) is held
by wires while his mutilated body (complete with beating, bloody heart) hangs nearby. Two
disembodied heads roll around, people fly through the air while the Martians shoot and
attack.
PROFANITY 3 - A few mild obscenities and scatological references, a couple
of anatomical references. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Extraterrestrial life, war, earth's destruction.
MESSAGE - Maybe ETs won't come in peace, so we better be ready.

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. |
