Positive Messages
Movie is somewhat about sacrifice; characters frequently sacrifice themselves to help others, though that's sometimes overshadowed by all of the action scenes. Empowering in that a woman is the one who saves the world (rather than the mother of a male savior), but male characters still frequently jump in to save the day.
Positive Role Models & Representations
Violence
Very strong, intense sci-fi/fantasy violence. Heavy guns and shooting. Characters are shot, stabbed, sliced, and run through with chunks of metal, as well as thrown from moving vehicles. Car crashes and explosions. Dead bodies. Pools of blood. Robots flying to pieces. Futuristic war sequences. Lots of weapons.
Sex
Time travelers shown naked; bare male and female bottoms shown. Brief female side view, from a distance. Couple kisses/makes out.
Language
Strong, fairly frequent language includes "f--k," "s--t," "motherf----r," "a--hole," "son of a bitch," "goddamn," and "ass," plus a middle-finger gesture.
Consumerism
Part of a popular franchise, with lots of off-screen merchandise available.
Education Value
Ease of Play
Privacy
A character says that she "drinks until she blacks out." Characters drink bottles of beer with slices of lime.
