Dune: Part Two: parents' guide

Near-constant combat with blades, futuristic guns, explosions and atomic weapons. A villain kills two women to test a blade, heads are smashed, corpses are burned with flamethrowers, and a captive is speared in an arena. Some blood, little gore.

Sparse: Plugged In heard two s-words and one possible f-word, and the rating cites brief strong language. Otherwise 'hell,' 'piss,' 'moron' and a villain repeatedly calling the Fremen rats.

Paul and Chani kiss and share a bed with bare shoulders and heavy breathing, implying intimacy. A Bene Gesserit woman seduces a villain to conceive a child, and sex and marriage are treated as political tools. No nudity.

Spice, an addictive substance that grants visions, is central: the Fremen live with it and have blue eyes from it. A deadly ritual drug leaves a woman writhing in agony with a bloody nose. No alcohol or smoking.

Giant sandworm attacks, a pale, bald killer and his eerie black-and-white arena, visions of famine and holy war, a hallucinatory poison ritual and a grotesque vomiting scene. The mood is dark and ominous throughout.
