violence
Mild, fantastical violence features shoot outs in which people are hit with laser blasts, and explosive space battles. There is also hand-to-hand combat with punches thrown, and slashes and stabs with swords. The violence focuses on fast-moving action rather than dwelling on detail. There is occasional sight of unrealistic-looking blood on faces in the aftermath of fights and battles.
threat and horror
There is mild threat from futuristic weapons and in scenes where space vehicles go out of control and their occupants are endangered.
language
There is mild bad language ('piss', 'ass', 'screw that'), as well as very mild terms ('jerk', 'damn', 'God', 'heck').
