Violence
Violence in this film includes the use of high-tech weapons and guns, explosions, and fistfights. Some scenes contain blood.
Drones are shown threatening to kill characters with lasers pointed at their heads. Some people are shot with minimal blood, and there are many scenes depicting large-scale destruction of buildings and towns.
Characters are crushed by buildings but no detail of injury is shown.
One sequence involves an illusionary experience with quite dark imagery intending to scare and disorient a character. This scene isn’t very violent but may unsettle some younger viewers.
Coarse language
The film contains some use of coarse high school-level language. Words used include “bitch,” “ass” and “s**t.” There is one incomplete use of the F-word and one character uses the middle finger.
