What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

The film does not function as a product-driven story; recognizable equipment and space technology serve the setting rather than a buying message.

Death of a character4/5
Why this rating?

Deaths occur during the disaster and are emotionally significant; loss and grief strongly affect the characters and story.

Graphic injury2/5
Why this rating?

Some brief, disturbing visuals of injury are shown, but it is not gratuitous.

Strong language2/5
Why this rating?

Occasional mild to moderate profanity.

Religious themes1/5
Why this rating?

Religious belief or practice is not a prominent story element.

Romance1/5
Why this rating?

The story centers on survival, professional partnership, loss, and resilience rather than romantic relationships.

Frightening scenes5/5
Why this rating?

Sustained, highly realistic suspense includes helplessness, suffocation risk, dangerous spacewalks, isolation, spinning debris, and repeated survival crises.

Violence3/5
Why this rating?

Catastrophic debris strikes, collisions, explosions, spacecraft destruction, and life-threatening peril drive the story; violence is largely disaster-based rather than intentional combat.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience5/5
Why this rating?

Courage is central: characters face terror, grief, isolation, and physical danger while making difficult decisions to survive.

Creativity & curiosity4/5
Why this rating?

It stimulates imagination about space, engineering, and inventive survival, with characters improvising solutions under severe constraints.

Diverse representation2/5
Why this rating?

Main character is a woman of color portrayed as a capable professional.

Educational value2/5
Why this rating?

It offers some accessible exposure to space operations, orbital hazards, engineering, and survival problem-solving, though education is not its main intent.

Kindness & empathy3/5
Why this rating?

Compassion, reassurance, mentoring, and sacrifice are important, especially when characters support one another during danger.

Positive messages4/5
Why this rating?

It emphasizes perseverance, adaptability, preparation, courage, connection, and choosing to keep living through overwhelming loss.

Good role models4/5
Why this rating?

The protagonists demonstrate professional competence, persistence, sacrifice, and practical problem-solving under extreme pressure.
