6.7

As Loc-Nar, a pulsating green orb from deep space, finds its way into the Earth, a multifaceted story of cosmic malice that transcends the strict boundaries of our universe unfolds. No one knows the origin of the floating crystalline sphere; however, all those who have encountered mystical Loc-Nar--men and women across galaxies and dimensions--have fallen prey to the corrosive power of the ancient, green-hued entity. As the tentacles of the parasitic intergalactic force spread across time and space, the question remains. Who can stand in the way of pure evil? Will a noble defender answer humankind's urgent call for help?

11 years and up. It's animated.men.

15+ rating was long time ago. Today is 11+

Plenty of animated blood and gore. People get shot, stabbed, beaten, beheaded, etc. Most human characters bleed red blood while others bleed green blood. Several scenes of people vaporized and melted into bones and gore.

The opening sequence of the story, "B-17", has uniquely disturbing violence in that has a bloody battle scene that is intense in the sense that its violence is far more realistic compared to the rest of this film.

Let's talk about movies!
