NOTE: This guide is based on both the Original Cut (OC) and the Special Edition Directors Cut (DC).Sex & Nudity: (OC & DC) 3/10During a scene showing CPR and shock paddles, one of the women has her shirt ripped off revealing a glimpse of her bare breasts. The camera does not linger on her breasts, and the entire time, she is surrounded by other people, so someone not paying very close attention is likely to miss it. There are hazy pictures of revealing women on a bathroom door. No sexual situations.
Violence & Gore: (OC) 6/10 (DC) 7/10The film depicts a brutal, though not bloody, fight between 3 men involving strangulation, a knife and a gun. There is also a violent fight between two mini-subs that involves much crashing and destruction of equipment. Dead bodies are shown in some scenes. The NTI's show Bud two different videos; one of nuclear weapons exploding, and the second of short news clips that depict real and disturbing violent scenes. A man freaks out while under water and goes into a coma. A real live rat is held under oxygenated water and it struggles but is unharmed. Lindsey intentionally drowns herself to save Bud in the hope she will be resuscitated in time. The team perform CPR and use shock panels. She survives. A man slices his arm with a large knife. A hurricane causes destruction. A crane is pulled into deep water with a man in it. He supposedly dies. Other mild violent scenes.

Frightening/Intense Scenes: (OC) 7/10 (DC) 8/10This film features many scenes involving the claustrophobic conditions involved in undersea diving and submarines. In the opening, we watch as a submarine filled with navy men gets flooded and sinks. In one of the film's most intense scenes, a woman decides to let herself "die" of drowning hoping that she will later be revived. In another scene a man gets killed when his submarine implodes due to water pressure. The NTI are quite frightening at times. The giant tidal waves may be scary to some people. Pretty much the entire film is intense and claustrophobic.0-5: Suitable for everyone (Care Bears). 5-10: Take some caution with young children.
