Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

A coed shower scene shows both male and female buttocks and multiple female breasts.

A brief scene showing both male and female buttocks.

A man and woman are making out, she is shown topless. Sex is implied.

Violence & Gore

Many battles between the bugs and humans. Many humans are impaled by bugs. some 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 blood is spewing out. A woman is cut in half by a door (with some blood). A bug pokes a man's head and sucks his brains out as his face seems to deflate.A bug is experimented upon with shocks, etc.A bug eats a cow (blood and other matter splatters everywhere).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.A man chokes a woman with his legs.A man throws a knife through a man's hand. A man is flogged with blood shown on his back with each lash. Hospital scene with lots of blood and people with amputated limbs.

Profanity

One F-word, a couple of anatomical references, a few mild obscenities

Casual alcohol use.

The bugs can be frightening to younger children. Also many of the killings and gory scenes are very intense.

The brain bug, which is frightening, sucks the brain out of a human. This scene is very disturbing and grotesque.

A part of South America is devastated, many (including a dog) die. This scene is quite sad as Rico's parents are implied to have also died.
