Sex & Nudity

Mild
62 of 108 found this mild
As the astronauts find water, they take off their clothes, as they jump into the water, they are naked but you mostly just see their butts (backside).
Towards the end of the movie, Taylor's clothing is removed and you can see his backside (butt) naked.
At a point in the film, our main human male character is completely naked, seen from the front, with his genitalia only covered by his hands. The coverage is not very good, however, because we can see his testes.
The main male (human) character is topless throughout most of the movie, and the main female (human) character is in a very, very skimpy outfit with lots of tears in it, low-cut front and a short length.
Several (human) male backsides/bottoms are seen throughout the film.
A brief kiss scene.

Violence & Gore

Moderate

A few gun battles, fought between humans and apes. A few apes are shot, but no blood.
In one scene, ape cavalry charge out wielding rifles and start shooting random humans. A character is shot through the head (blood). Another character is shot through the neck (blood splatters). Several humans are shot into the river. The apes proceed to use clubs and whips to beat several humans to death, and capture others.
The apes terrorize humans by spraying hoses onto them, and the humans cry out in pain.
The apes beat the main character several times, using clubs and their fists. He tries to fight back but yells with every blow.
A human takes an ape captive and holds a gun to his head.
The main character is threatened by apes with castration. He manages to escape them before it gets done.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Mild
36 of 67 found this mild
One character has surgery to remove his brain. While it is not shown on camera we see the stitches and the character looking disabled.
This is a really well made film so it might be a bit disturbing due to the dark theme they took so seriously.
Nothing too frightening or intense here, except where the apes massacre, beat up and/or whip humans.
There is a scene in a museum where there are many dead stuffed humans in different exhibits, and the main character notices that one human is his friend who was killed earlier in a raid.
The apes enjoy spraying helpless humans with hoses, and the humans cry out in pain.
There is one scene of a dead corpse that has shrivelled up and looks decayed near the beginning. It may be creepy to some.
The end scene might be depressing and shocking.
