violence
Several moments of moderate violence, including multiple planes being shot down, with brief sight of a pilot surrounded by flames. There is also sight of an alien being shot and sight of the hero punching an alien's face. Milder violence includes aerial dogfights in which spaceships fire laser beams at each other.
threat and horror
Sustained moderate threat across several scenes in which aliens attack Earth. People panic, screaming and running through the streets, while famous landmarks are destroyed and there are large explosions.
additional issues
Further issues include some mild verbal sex references (including teenagers agreeing that it is acceptable to die a virgin) and brief sight of a woman performing in a poledancing club, but without nudity. There is use of mild bad language, including the terms 'shit', 'bitch', 'bastard' and 'asshole'. There are also some emotional moments as several characters die.

violence
There are frequent scenes of moderate action violence, including cities being destroyed by large alien weapons, and smaller alien ships engaging in dogfights with military jets in which planes explode, implying the death of the pilots. During an autopsy of an alien life form, a doctor is choked by the alien's tenticular arm before the creature is shot.
language
There is infrequent use of strong language ('f**k'), and occasional mild bad language including 'bastard', 'crap', 'ass', 'son of a bitch'.
additional issues
A female dancer is referred to as a 'stripper' and is briefly seen in a small outfit dancing in a club. A male character is believed to have been abducted by aliens in the past, and other characters enquire, mockingly, as to whether he was sexually abused by them. A male teen is also seen asking his girlfriend if she wants to die a virgin, as it may be their last night on Earth.
