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. |

Sci-fi flick about humans battling giant bugs.
SEX/NUDITY 5 - A shower scene with lots of male and female bare buttocks and
female breasts. A couple kiss and she takes off her top; we see her breasts and she gets
on top as they kiss. More kissing and sexual innuendo.
VIOLENCE/GORE 10 - Lots of gory scenes. Many battles between the bugs and
humans. Many humans are eaten or impaled by bugs, with lots of blood; humans are torn in
half, limbs are strewn around and guts are outside bodies. Many humans are beheaded by
flying bugs with claws and some are sucked into the ground by burrowing bugs -- a man is
shown with bloody stumps after being sucked into the ground. A woman is impaled through
the stomach and chest and people try to hold her down to take claws out while a lot of
blood is spewing out. A woman is cut in half by a door (with lots of blood). Men are
impaled but still alive as the bugs manipulate their impaled bodies. A bug pokes a man's
head and sucks his brains out as his face seems to deflate. A man is sliced open and we
see his insides. A bug is experimented upon with shocks, etc. When bugs are shot or bombed
there is a lot of goo. A bug eats a cow (blood and other matter splatters everywhere). A
man's head is shot off with blood and brains splattering. A man has a hole in his head and
another man sticks his fingers in the hole. A sergeant beats up on recruits by whacking
them with clubs, punching them, and he breaks a person's arm with a crack. Recruits are
shocked with zap guns. A man chokes a woman with his legs and a woman has bruises on her
throat. A man throws a knife through a man's hand. A man is flogged with blood shown on
his back with each lash. Hospital scenes with lots of blood and people with amputated
limbs. A woman's arm catches fire and it melts off. The bugs are gross looking. Fires and
explosions.
PROFANITY 5 - One F-word, a couple of anatomical references, a few mild
obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - The future, nationalism, heroism, insects.
MESSAGE - With heroism and sacrifice humans can defeat any foe.

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. |
