Jamie Lee Curtis, William Baldwin, Donald Sutherland,
Marshall Bell, Julio Oscar Mechoso, Sherman Augustus and Joanna Pacula battle an
electricity-hungry alien in this sci-fi thriller.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - Some sexual innuendo.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - We see several robots made from bloody human body parts;
in one scene, we see robots taking a bloody brain out of a corpse in a room filled with
bloody body parts and skeletons. A large bloody robot/human removes a man's gut (we see
lots of blood) and throws his bloody body across a room. A man is impaled (we briefly see
the very bloody wound) and a man cuts into a robot/human's exposed and bloody brain; the
robot grabs a woman and a man beats the robot with a gun. We see lots of blood when a man
removes a wooden stake from his leg; we also see lots of blood (and hear squishy sounds)
when a woman is stitching the wound. A woman finds a man with a very bloody and partially
decomposed face and dreams that he grabs her. A bloody robot/human breaks in two and a
bloody skeleton rises from it. An insect-like robot shoots nails into a man's shoulder (we
see blood on his shirt) and tries to drill into a man's head. A woman falls into water and
sees lots of bloody corpses floating around her. In a few scenes, we see blood on walls or
in puddles on the floor; we also see some bloody cuts on people's faces throughout the
movie. A current of electricity knocks down several people; some are electrocuted. A woman
shoots at fuel tanks; they explode and she's engulfed in flames. We see several small
explosions throughout the movie, and we also see a huge ship explode. A man gets tangled
in wires and is pulled into a tunnel. A large anchor falls through the deck of a boat (it
later sinks) and nearly hits a man; also, a woman is nearly swept off a ship by a large
wave and one man does fall into the sea. Lots of threatening and shooting with guns; also,
many punches and scuffles.
PROFANITY 6 - Nearly 10 F-words, several anatomical references, lots of
scatological references and lots of mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Aliens, greed, maritime rules, robots and consciousness.
MESSAGE - Once again, humans prove they are superior to aliens.

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. |
