UPDATED *spoilers* BBFC's Detailed Report on Prometheus's Rating

[Qwertify]

The BBFC ECI review:  Prepare to be not spoiled.

Spoiler

PROMETHEUS is a science fiction horror film in which a group of people travel to a distant moon. It was classified '15' for strong violence, gore, threat and horror.

The film contains a number of scenes of strong violence that feature heavy blows and bloody detail. For example, in one scene a character's arm is broken, revealing blood and bone, and in another scene a character's head is smashed against the floor, resulting in a large spurt of blood. This emphasis on bloody detail exceeds the terms of the BBFC's Guidelines at '12A'/'12' and is more appropriately classified at '15' where the Guidelines state 'Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury'. There are also some scenes featuring gory detail, both when dead bodies are seen and when people are injured. One scene features some gory surgical detail that exceeds the type of 'occasional gory moments' that may be permitted at '12A'.

The Guidelines at '12A'/'12' also state 'Moderate physical and psychological threat may be permitted, provided disturbing sequences are not frequent or sustained'. The second half of the film in particular features a sense of threat towards the central characters that is both frequent and sustained.

PROMETHEUS also includes one use of strong language and one implied use of strong language, when a remark is broken up by static. It also includes some undetailed verbal sex references and a brief scene in which a couple start to have sex, without any nudity or other detail.

You can thank Cvalda for being on top of this. I didn't figure they'd update anything this late in the day.

I don't think this is a dupe is it? I couldn't find anything else like it anywhere. Besides - they are updating the info today.

Oh you linked it on the IFCO thread.

Man I will never understand British humor.

Wow this is really asking to be fully spoiled.

That'd be 'humour'   

On topic, why do you want to be spoiled? Wait two weeks and make the most of two years of suspense. Must be a terrible affliction to lack will power so close to the winning line.

Wow this is really asking to be fully spoiled.

I don't get why we should ask for that since its premiere is so close...Apart from Poles and Germans...

No "spoilers" were evident at this time except that I learned the film reel is over 10,000 feet long.

When the ECI comes out - there will be. It was supposed to be today. Sometimes they do it even months before hand. We will have to patiently wait. For not there are no real spoilers on the page.
