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.
The latest installment in the "Star Trek" series
has Captain Picard and crew aiding a rebellion on a distant planet. With Patrick Stewart,
Brent Spiner, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakers, Donna Murphy, LeVar Burton and F. Murray
Abraham.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Sexual innuendo and kissing. Scantily-clad women sometimes
showing cleavage and we nearly see a woman's breasts under her see-through bodysuit.
A woman's outfit gets wet and her breasts and nipples are visible through the cloth.
A couple are in a tub together but no nudity or sex is shown.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - In some scenes, spaceships are fired upon and lasers are
fired at groups of people; sometimes people are killed. A man is shot and falls off a
cliff. A cave collapses on a couple and one of them is injured. A couple of fistfights (in
one an arm is audibly broken) and scuffles; also a few fires and explosions. We see a man
on fire. A man shoves another's face through glass resulting in bloody cuts. Blood spurts
from a gash in someone's forehead. In a few scenes, people must have their skin
stretched and reattached with staples (one time the procedure results in bloody gashes). A
toxin is drawn from someone's neck with a needle.
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.
