Rating Overview
Language
The movie contains mild to moderate profanity, with occasional use of terms that may be considered offensive. However, there is no severe blasphemy or taking of the Lord's name in vain.
Adult Content
There are instances of violence and tense situations involving animals and humans, as well as some thematic elements surrounding scientific experimentation. While there are no explicit sexual themes, the violence and moral complexities may not be suitable for a younger audience.
Political Views & Agenda
The film generally aligns with conservative values, emphasizing the importance of ethical responsibility and the dangers of unchecked power, which resonate with traditional Christian teachings. However, some viewers may interpret the uprising theme as a challenge to established authority.
Non Binary Agenda
The film's portrayal of family dynamics and societal structures leans more towards modern interpretations, which might not fully align with traditional biblical perspectives. The emphasis on animal-human parity could be seen as a deviation from traditional views of human dominion over animals.
Biblical Alignment
While the storyline presents moral questions about the treatment of other living beings, it does so without a strong biblical perspective, and the evolutionary undertones could conflict with some Christian teachings. Overall, although there are positive moral questions raised, the lack of Christian-centric messages and the promotion of evolution lower its biblical alignment.
