Talking Points:

Faced with dangerous and hostile circumstances, we see how the two survivors handle the horrific situation, and do what they need to do to help one another. Sacrifice and the will to never give up, are the main themes demonstrated throughout the film.

One of the characters risks their life in order for the other person to survive.

The film is intense and frightening in parts, which may scare young kids.

Sexual Content: None

Violent Content: Moderate

Matt and Ryan are forcefully thrown around in space.
It was very uncomfortable and scary watching Matt and Ryan try to survive, knowing full well their life was on the line.
We saw the deceased crew mates; one with a smashed face, two others floating in space.

Crude or Profane Language: Moderate
