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.

SEX/NUDITY 2 - Some sexual innuendo (including references to S&M and
condoms). We see some photographs and illustrations of couples embracing each other (the
woman is sometimes scantily clad). Some women wear cleavage-revealing costumes, a female
action-figure is dressed in an S&M outfit and a statue of a nude woman is seen as a
lamp base.
VIOLENCE/GORE 1 - A woman slaps a man, supposedly demonstrating a mating
ritual.

PROFANITY 0 - Some apparently profane words are bleeped out, so we
don't hear them. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Star Trek series and stars, fanaticism, obsession,
homosexuality (a brief reference), marijuana (a brief reference).
MESSAGE - Star Trek fans are interesting, but rather obsessive.
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.
