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.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

Miranda is found swimming in a small pond naked, but we cannot see much (She is wearing a flesh-coloured bodysuit) Commander Adams is invited to join her, but declines saying "I didn't bring a bathing suit." She says "What's a bathing suit?" His response is shock. Shortly afterward, she gets out and dresses behind a bush. Also, Miranda is unique as a character not only because she is the only female character in the movie, but also because Miranda has never seen any other man but her father, and she is innocently curious about conversational interaction. She is even offered a kiss under "experimental" conditions.

Violence & Gore

Offscreen, a man screams, and we later learn that his body parts were found all over a room.

Profanity

Most likely none.

Cookie (the ship's cook) makes several remarks about beer and women. Later, he asks Robby the robot to synthesize 60 gallons of "Kansas City" Bourbon, which he starts to drink.

The "Monster of the Id" that is created by Dr. Morbius's subconscious can be quite intimidating, even though it is invisible for most of its appearances. First, invisible footsteps are seen approacing the C-57D ship, walking up the stairs into the ship. The invisible monster sneaks into sleeping quarters and steals government documents. Later, it sneaks in again and kills a man violently. The third time it attacks, the crew members of the C-57D start shooting at it while it is being zapped by the electric fence they have set up. It briefly becomes visible, appearing like a large bear/boar creature, faintly outlined. Later, when it attacks Dr. Morbius's lab, it destroys (melts) an indestructable series of doors. Meanwhile, during both of these scenes, the combination of strange electronic music and sound effects adds to the frightening qualities of the beast's appearances.
