Violence
There are a few scenes with violence, mainly because of a war between humans and robots. Most of the violence happens to robots, so we don’t see much blood. However, there are still some stronger moments, including:
- A character becomes unconscious after being tased.
- A human character smashes their head into gymnasium equipment, causing them to bleed.
- Human characters are launched into the air following explosions.
Offensive language
There is some use of coarse language including “s**t”, “bitch”, “crap”, “ass” and “bastard.”
A character pulls the fingers and says “suck on this.”
